Biosystems BA622

The Biosystems BA622 is a compact, fully automated random-access clinical chemistry analyzer engineered for in vitro diagnostic testing in small to medium-sized laboratories, hospitals, and diagnostic centers. It delivers 200 tests per hour using photometric and turbidimetric assays, expandable to 300 tests per hour with an optional ISE module. The instrument processes serum, plasma, urine, whole blood, CSF, and other biological fluids with minimal user maintenance and high optical precision.
