Beckman Coulter Diagnostics, Brea, Calif, has updated the Access 2 immunoassay system with enhanced features. Built upon a 20-year legacy, the Access 2 immunoassay system is a compact, random-access benchtop analyzer that delivers an extensive diagnostic testing menu.
The new features have been added to improve ease of use, workflow efficiencies, system reliability, and customer satisfaction. Changes include the addition of an internal reagent barcode reader to minimize operating loading errors, an upgraded ergonomic workstation for operator comfort, improved fluidics tray for operational efficiency, a status light bar for notifying operators of instrument status, remote monitoring capability, and a refreshed look.

“The advancements in our Access 2 immunoassay system are a great example of how our research and development team listened to our customers and enhanced an already high-performing product to best serve the needs of clinical laboratories,” says John Blackwood, senior vice president of the chemistry and immunoassay business unit at Beckman Coulter Diagnostics. “The Access 2 provides remote ProService connectivity, on-the-fly reagent and consumable loading, proven reliability, and delivers up to 100 tests per hour. Together, these features and benefits save laboratories precious time and enable physicians to deliver responsive care for patients.”
Especially suited for small- to medium-sized physician office laboratories, community hospitals, and independent reference labs, or as a backup to other primary immunoassay systems, the Access 2 is a reliable and robust system. It is designed with sample probe obstruction detection and remote monitoring capability for instrument diagnostics, maintains greater than 98% system availability, and delivers less than 1.1 emergency service calls per year.
Beckman Coulter Diagnostics offers an extensive diagnostic testing menu for use on the Access 2 immunoassay system, with tests that cover a range of disease states to fulfill patient care needs. These tests include adrenal disorders, anemia, bone metabolism, cardiac-related conditions, diabetes, endocrinology, infectious diseases, reproductive health, and thyroid and tumor markers.
