Fully automated blood grouping system IH-1000

2. IH-1000 The Ideal Solution for Immunohematology
IH-1000 combines three important features which are significant both for today and the future:
Highest level of security and flexibility with full automation
Fast sample processing with continuous access
Cost efficiency

3. A Revolution in Immunohematology
The IH-1000 device is a revolutionary instrument for immunohematological diagnostics, which can be used to execute any type of test procedure.
The device can easily be connected to a host system and due to the flexible software with intelligent robotics, samples can be processed in any desired sequence.

4. More Than Just a Routine Machine
IH is both a routine and an emergency appliance. The robotics and sample throughput design is such that samples can be added at any time whilst the routine samples continue to be processed.
The status of a sample can be checked on the 17“ screen and the device automatically indicates when the results will be available.
IH-1000 can also be accessed from remote computer consoles, allowing the status of the process to be monitored and for validation of sample results.

5. A Ground-Breaking Immunohematological Device
IH-1000 has the capacity to stock reagent supplies of 240 ID-Cards, 28 vials of test cells and diluents as required.
Depending on the test profile chosen, the instrument processes without re-stocking of reagents for an average of 6-9 hours.
The instrument automatically shows the level of the reagent supplies and additional reagents can be introduced at any time.The status of the supplies can be checked on the device itself or from a remote location, for example from a Wi-Fi connection.
