The Piccolo Xpress chemistry analyzer provides quantitative in-vitro determinations of clinical chemistry analytes in lithium-heparinized whole blood, heparinized plasma, or serum.The Piccolo Xpress is a portable clinical chemistry system designed for accurate, on-site patient testing. It allows healthcare practitioners to perform routine multi-chemistry panels using 0.1cc of whole blood, serum or plasma. The system uses patented single-use reagent discs which contain up to 14 chemistry tests.Simply pipette the sample into the disc, insert the disc into the analyzer and results are printed or transferred to an LIS/EMR in about 12 minutes. No operator intervention is required. The Piccolo Xpress employs on-board continuous intelligent Quality Control (iQC®) to monitor the analyzer, reagent reactions and sample to ensure the highest quality and accuracy in results.
