    Outline of Functions Purpose of the System The AU2700 is a fully automated chemistry analyzer designed for operating ease, speed, and flexibility. It uses liquid, barcoded reagents, and user-friendly Microsoft Windows TM software. The operator is assured a fast turnaround time for response panels, maximum 2133 tests per hour with the ISE, 1600 tests per hour photometric.
  • Page 34 Batch Online The host computer and AU2700 must be online. Multiple sample requisitions are batch processed by the host computer through the operation of the AU2700 prior to sample analysis. Keyboard Entry Analysis is requisitioned by using the keyboard to enter the sample number or the barcode ID located on the sample cup.
