Cedex Bio analyzer 2 Introduction to the analyzer
Overview
Overview
The Cedex Bio analyzer is a continuous random-access analyzer intended for
metabolite analysis in mammalian cell cultures and microbial fermentation. The
Cedex Bio analyzer is a low throughput, bench top analyzer used in manufacturing
and quality control of pharma biotech environments. Core test parameters cover
sodium, potassium, glucose, lactate, lactate dehydrogenase, ammonia, glutamine, and
glutamate.
Only trained personnel working in a professional laboratory environment may
operate the Cedex Bio analyzer.
Features The Cedex Bio analyzer offers small laboratories the following advantages:
o High analytical performance
o Efficient operation
Cooled, exchangeable reagent disks ensure economical reagent use; disposable
cuvette segments allow for easy cuvette loading and removal.
o High reliability, low maintenance
Innovative "low impact" instrument design and software-driven preventive
maintenance improves up-time and reduces maintenance costs.
o Adaptable user interface
The built-in color touchscreen, process-driven software, and reagent and sample
barcode entry adapts to users of different skills and access levels.
o High safety standards
Built-in safety devices, such as level detection, tube bottom detection, cuvette
quality control, and ISE clot detection anticipate potential hazards during
operation.
o Flexible sampling
Eight on-board sample positions accommodate virtually any type of sample
carrier, and enable continuous sample placing and removal during operation.
o Data management
Bidirectional RS-232 and USB ports, on-board thermal printer, and drivers offer
the latest in data management capabilities.
Incorrect results or damage to the analyzer due to wrong operation
Operators are required to have a profound knowledge of relevant guidelines and norms as
well as the information and procedures contained in the Operator’s Manual.
o Do not carry out operation and maintenance unless you have been trained by Roche
Diagnostics.
o Carefully follow the procedures specified in the Operator’s Manual for the operation
and maintenance of the system.
o Leave maintenance that is not described in the Operator’s Manual to trained service
representatives.
o Follow standard laboratory practices, especially when working with biohazard material.
