The ACL ToP consists of a broad test menu for disease state management in combination with its fully automated features that improve lab processes and efficiency. The system is designed to help reduce pre/analytical steps, speed the time required for the testing processes, and improve test turnaround time for high-volume reference facilities.
     The ACL ToP analyzer offers throughput of as many as 360 tests per hour, and can accommodate 120 bar-coded samples at a time. Continuous loading of primary tubes and cups can take place with no need for adaptors. The system also can accommodate 60 onboard, bar-coded reagents and delivers real-time reagent monitoring, which automatically monitors reagent volume, onboard stabilities, and expiration dates.
     The analyzer offers clot curve analysis, which provides additional clinical information for assessing patients. It also offers factor parallelism, which aids in the analysis of factor assays that help determine the presence of inhibitors, auto-validation of test results for return and reflex testing, and database storage of as many as 10,000 samples and 300,000 results.
