TKA 2 Microplate
Laboratories that perform few analyses can afford to equip themselves with one of these "walk-away" analyzers, thus avoiding the use of several machines. This helps in reducing costs, saving room, and protecting against human error. The programs allow the creation of profiles containing up to 8 assays to be carried out in a single session. It is also possible to carry out different assays on the same microplate, provided that such assays have the same temperature and incubation schedule. Like all TKA Analyzers the software of these units allow the storage of Standard Curves that can be retrieved later and used to adjust one or two calibrators, reducing analysis cost. Reagent containers are included in the kit.

Technical Specifications
TKA 6 and 8 Microplate
These are two top models of the new line and are particularly adequate to perform routine screening tests in laboratories having huge workloads and in blood banks, especially due to the use of eight needles. A whole microplate is processed in approximately 5 minutes (100 μl in individual quotas). Each incubator can freely programmed at an individual temperature. Futhermore, the instrument can be provided with the “STAT function" option that allows samples and new analysis, if so required, during the session.

Configuration
TKA 3 Microplate
A high performance and profitability line, due to simultaneous action of 4 needles that distribute 96 samples in the microplate within a very short period. In order to avoid contamination each needle is fitted with its own membrane pump for internal washing purpose. The operator can freely choose up to a maximum of twelve assays to be included in the Profile to carry out. This unit is an adequate solution for medium-size laboratories.
