Great routine analyser with a broad portfolio of specialty testing
Proven, reliable technical performance with advanced CS-technology
Sample integrity testing to protect result quality from pre-analytical variables
Minimal need for hands-on maintenance
Traceability for operation history and results

All our CS-series instruments consolidate and automate a wide range of haemostasis tests in a single analyser – both routine and specialty testing – and use the latest multi-wavelength technology with rapid throughput. The CS-1600 model offers ‘the best of both worlds’:

It combines the reliable, proven mechanics of the former CA-1500 model with the advanced CS-series technology in a compact analyser. The integrated cap-piercing means testing is straightforward and safe with analysis from closed primary tubes. With its access to a broad portfolio of specialty parameters, the CS-1600 suits a wide range of laboratories as a primary analyser, but you can also easily integrate the analyser in your CS network solution:

All CS machines have a common graphic user interface and the CS technology delivers good comparability with results from other CS-series analysers.

Features

Quality

Sysmex haemostasis solutions address these issues by bringing together the power of three best-in-class components – Sysmex analysers, and reagents and application protocols from its highly reputable suppliers Siemens and Hyphen BioMed. The strong technological performance both stabilises the routine and provides high consistency – the essential basis for reliable, accurate results and confident interpretation. This confidence is underpinned with our active support, service and expertise, both onsite and/or online.

Multi-wavelength technology

Over- or under-filled samples can cause inaccurate results. The integrated sample volume check automatically checks sample integrity and prevents samples with unacceptable volume from being measured. The CS-series’ multi-wavelength technology produces accurate results even with difficult samples, as it switches the measurement’s wavelength if it finds significant interference.

Measures to give you peace of mind

The software makes reagent management, QC monitoring and tracing results easy so you can fulfil Good Laboratory Practice requirements for lab accreditation. Embedded software security prevents malware or viruses from being introduced into the analyser software.

The instrument is robust and needs only minimal maintenance. Remote service is available for tailored preventive maintenance, which can effectively reduce or even prevent downtimes and maximise your workflow reliability.

Silent design

In line with Sysmex’s Silent Design® principle, the CS-1600 offers high functionality in a compact size. Its smart design means it is easy to operate and has smart details such as additional space to properly store your reagent vial caps.

Effective support for a smooth lab routine

If you are not going to be using the analyser at night, an automatic wake-up function will wake the machine for the new day’s routine so you can start work almost immediately once you arrive at the lab. For really urgent samples you can use the built-in STAT sample position. And when it’s time for a change in shifts, you can generate a handover list.
