• Employs direct Chemiluminescence.
• Disposable sample pipette tips and cuvettes minimize potential for cross - contamination
• No - pause loading of all reagents, samples and supplies:
  
  - ADVIA Centaur is the only immunoassay system with this capability.
  - Throughput of about 240 tests per hour and the walkaway time is upto 840 tests.
• Reduced operator intervention:
  
  - High sample capacity combined with advanced automation features - including automatic repeat, dilution and reflex testing decrease user interactions.
  - Large on-board refrigeration capacity for reagents and supplies
  - Automated maintenance and monitoring features.
  - Any obstructions in the sample probe are immediately detected by the clot detection and management system.
• The system uses Barcode scanning for samples and reagents.
• Bubble detection ensures the integrity of reagent aspiration so right volume of reagent is dispensed.
• Quality Control features help maintain comprehensive records for quality control programs and help identify any shift or trend that can indicate changes in performance of the assay.
• The system uses a Master curve and 2 point calibration which is established by Bayer Diagnostics as part of the manufacturing process for each assay reagent lot number.
