Fully-automated benchtop clinical chemistry analyzer


The Altair™ 240 by EKF Diagnostics is supported by a full-range of bar-coded, liquid-stable, ready-to-use Stanbio Chemistry reagents and at less than a meter in length the Altair 240 fits easily into most laboratory benches. It’s the ideal solution for labs, doctors’ offices, clinics and veterinary labs in need of a benchtop analyzer.  With positions for 43 reagents and the ability to configure open channels if needed, the Altair™ 240 provides a comprehensive solution tailored to meet the demands of your laboratory. 

The Altair™ 240 automatically reads and manages barcoded reagent bottles and sample tubes.  Most reagents have 30-day on-board stability to minimize waste.  The built-in cuvette washing system allows you to reuse cuvettes, lowering operating costs for your lab.
