Beckman Coulter AU680 Clinical Chemistry Analyzer

The Beckman Coulter AU680 Clinical Chemistry Analyzer is a robust, mid-to-high-volume diagnostic instrument designed for hospitals, reference labs, and core lab environments. Capable of processing up to 800 photometric tests per hour (1,200 tph with integrated ISE), it delivers reliable, high-throughput analysis while maintaining operational flexibility—ideal for labs aiming to optimize efficiency without compromising quality.

This fully automated, random-access system seamlessly supports photometry and potentiometry for a wide range of assays, including serum, plasma, urine, and whole blood applications. With onboard refrigerated compartments and STAT processing capability, the AU680 meets the demands of high-volume labs with variable workload and urgent testing needs.
