Beckman DxC 700 AU lowers operational costs for busy labs
Hospitals and high-volume diagnostic labs are always looking for ways to get faster turn-around time while keeping operational costs low.
The DxC 700 AU Offers:
Most Lab Technicians have experiences with older Beckman analyzers, the DxC 700 AU gives you only the best features of its predecessors:
User-Friendly Software
The DxC 700 AU software is nothing like the older AU series. This interface is truly intuitive and easy to use.
High Throughput
800 photometric tests per hour, up to 1,200 with ISE. Ideal for mid to high-volume labs.
Load Samples and Reagents Anytime
Cooled STAT compartment and continuous racking loader to give you faster turnaround time.
Affordable Replacement Parts
Fewer consumable parts to lower total cost of ownership.
Easy DxC 700 AU software for uninterrupted productivity
No more software challenges!
Your technicians would also be glad to know that the famously challenging AU-series software is gone.
Your staff will have a very low learning curve with the DxC 700 AU interface.
Your department will increase in testing capacity and recover the DxC 700 AU investment faster.
"The new software is easy to learn and simple to operate with very little experience."
Monitor analysis, reagents levels, and generate reports in one centralized platformFaster turn-around time with DxC 700 AU
Run urgent samples STAT and load reagents mid-operation
There is a cooled STAT compartment in the DxC 700 AU.
The 150- sample continuous rack loader lets you load samples any time.
You can also load reagents while the analyzer is running.
"The ability to load reagents 'on-the-fly' while the instrument is running saves me time and minimizes workflow disruption."
Fewer service calls for the DxC 700 AU
Higher uptime and longer average repair intervals than other analyzers in the same cost class.
Your lab wastes less budget on external service, since most troubleshooting on the DxC 700 AU can be handled in house.
More uptimes for mid to high-volume labs with DxC 700 A
Automatic Clot Detection
Identifies clots that could clog probes or tubing, preventing sample processing errors.
Probe Crash Protection
Detects probe crashes before they cause significant damage or inaccuracies.
The cost of running your DxC 700 AU is lower than the most common analyzer in its class, the Siemens Visa 500.

More accuracy with the DxC 700 AU sample quality analysis
The Lipemia, Hemolysis, and Icterus Indices identify compromised samples quickly, preventing inaccurate results due to interference.
Lipemia Index
Measures the level of fat in the blood, which can interfere with test results.
Hemolysis Index
Detects the rupture of red blood cells, which can falsely elevate certain analytes.
Icterus Index
Identifies elevated bilirubin levels, which may skew results in some assays.
The built-in sample quality analysis minimizes errors and increases result reliability. That is more process efficiency for your lab.
DxC 700 AU in high humidity
Validated performance between 20% - 80% RH
If your environment is humid, this is the analyzer for you.
The DxC 700 AU routinely outperforms other chemistry analyzes in humid environments, with significantly fewer errors.
Beckman DxC 700 AU tip!
Give your lab a productivity boost by pairing your system with a high-quality DI water system.
The DxC 700 AU performs better than most in the class when you keep it hydrated.
Reduce DxC 700 AU consumable expenses
Compared to other systems in its class, the DxC 700 AU requires fewer consumables. The concentrated reagents, durable ion-selective electrodes (ISEs), and reusable cuvettes help you lower the cost per test.
If your consumable budget is based on OEM prices, here’s the best part: you save a chuck of that cost instantly by ordering replacement parts from MYCO.
