With customer-tailored features that maximize safety and boost productivity...

Compact Size

With floor space at a premium in the clinical laboratory, it is essential to have an analyzer that is easily integrated and economizes with a compact footprint. ACE offers all the benefits of a floor model in an ergonomic, table-top design.

Closed Tube Sampling

Risk from blood-borne pathogens is a reality. ACE's patented closed tube sampler minimizes that threat. Now there is no need to pour off samples. Safety is assured.

Positive Sample and Reagent ID

No more specimen and reagent confusion. ACE's on-board computer identifies and tracks samples and reagents by lot number, expiration date, and amount of reagent remaining for an ultra-secure, worry-free system.

...To streamline workflow

On-Board Sample and Reagent Refrigeration

Conveniently located, ACE's refrigerated compartment maintains specimen integrity, while eliminating reagent waste. Up to 40 separate test reagents may be stored on-board, and effects such as exposure to light and evaporation are kept to an absolute minimum.

Efficient Fluids Handling

A single probe handles all sample and reagent aspiration and dispense functions. Automatic liquid level sensors simultaneously monitor both reagent and specimen volumes to guarantee pipetting integrity. Since only micro-volumes of reagent are used, you can depend on low cost per test performance.

Test Dedicated Cuvettes

With a new cuvette for each reaction, there is no chance of cross contamination. Up to 248 cuvettes can be stored on-board at any time for true walkaway capability. Used cuvettes are automatically deposited into an OSHA approved biohazard waste container.

...and Contain costs

Immediate STAT Interrupt

ACE responds to your STAT demands immediately. The system fulfills the demand, then automatically reverts to the routine workload without operator intervention.

Auto Repeat and Dilution

ACE automatically dilutes and repeats specimens based on preset criteria that you select. ACE provides fast, accurate reporting of abnormal test results by automatically diluting and repeating those tests without operator intervention.

Multi-Tasking Intelligent Software

ACE's powerful PC-based operating software is easy to understand and master. It offers individual profile, batch or STAT assays. Complete on-screen Help, color-coded prompts and built-in self-diagnostics guide you every step of the way. Plus, ACE gives you chartable reports, on-board QC, normal values, panic values, etc., and helps you meet the toughest test of lab performance...CLIA'88 compliance.

With the bottom line in quality reagents...

Reagents

An extensive menu of precision reagents ensures the right match of test mix and instrument capabilities. Currently, applications exist for routine chemistries, thyroids, hormones, therapeutic drugs and esoterics...with others being actively developed. Schiapparelli reagents have a documented history of field proven performance and reliability in the industry's most demanding laboratories.

...and cost-effective options

Integrated ISE

No more splitting samples in electrolyte testing. ACE consolidates sample handling into a single, efficient and safe operation for the determination of Na⁺, K⁺ and Cl^-.

Integrated Bar Code Reader

Positive sample identification is made easier using bar code labeled primary tubes in the patented closed tube sampler. By incorporating the Bar Code Reader, ACE recognizes multiple label symbologies, further automating LIS processing and laboratory workflow.

In one smart, fully integrated system!
