OPTI Medical’s next generation of blood gas and electrolyte analyzer at AACC 2022

OPTI Medical Systems will be displaying their next generation of blood gas and electrolyte analyzer at the 2022 AACC Clinical Lab Expo (booth #631). The OPTI® CCA-TS2 Blood Gas and Electrolyte Analyzer provides fast accurate results for blood gases, acid-base balance, electrolytes, ionized calcium, glucose, BUN/urea, lactate and additional blood parameters such as total hemoglobin concentration (direct measurement) and oxygen saturation (sO2). The instrument runs samples of whole blood, plasma, and serum on single-use disposable cassettes.

The OPTI CCA-TS2 uses OPTI Medical’s optical fluorescence technology. This unique, patented technology does not use electrodes or contact points, which eliminates the need for costly electrode maintenance. A disposable, single-use cassette contains all the elements needed for calibration, sample measurement and waste containment. The instrument comes with automated sample aspiration, which reduces the risk of pre-analytical errors, and includes a measuring chamber heated to 37°C (98.6°F), allowing for a wide operating temperature range to meet the needs of colder environments. The OPTI CCA-TS2 uses ready-to-use single-use cassettes that let you test for a range of blood gas parameters:
