Biochrom - 30+ Series - Amino Acid Analyzer Physiological System Brochure

A compact bench top instrument ideal for amino acid analysis in clinical, veterinary, research, and pharmaceutical laboratories New Biochrom 30+ Amino Acid Analyzer Switch to the New Biochrom 30+ ? New Accelerated Method 48 amino acids and derivatives in less than 90 min. (to Arginine). Saves up to 1 hour compared to standard classical amino acid analysis. ? Urine, Plasma, and CSF analysis Minimal matrix interference and near baseline separation helps to reduce ambiguities in interpretation and increase confidence in diagnosis of inborn errors of metabolism. ? Exclusive Column Cleaning Service Cuts ownership costs by allowing a virtual infinite column lifetime. ? Easy To Use With Total PC Control PC driven autosampler, robust hardware and advanced fluidics allow easy maintenance. ? Experienced Biochrom Service and Support Team Guarantees a fast response for peace of mind.
