Goldsite GBA-1000 Fully Automatic Benchtop Chemistry Analyzer
The Goldsite GBA-1000 is a minimalist, fully automated benchtop chemistry analyzer with up to 100 tests/hour throughput, supporting whole blood, serum, plasma, and urine samples. Designed for small labs and clinics, it features QR code reagent auto-ID, liquid level detection, 10.4-inch sliding touchscreen, built-in PC, 24-hour reagent cooling, and disposable cuvettes for hassle-free operation across 300+ parameters in end-point, fixed-time, and kinetic assays.
Description
Test Methodologies: Versatile Assay Capabilities The Goldsite GBA-1000 accommodates end-point for equilibrium reactions like total protein or bilirubin, fixed-time (two-point) for enzyme kinetics such as ALT/GPT or CK-MB, and kinetic for linear rate monitoring of substrates like creatinine or LDH—covering routine biochemistry, immunology, and therapeutic drug monitoring. This multi-method approach supports comprehensive panels for metabolic screening, cardiac evaluation, and renal function assessment, delivering fast, accurate results to aid in diabetes management, lipid disorder diagnosis, or electrolyte imbalance detection in outpatient or ER settings.
Parameters Measured: Handles over 300 photometric and immunoturbidimetric parameters, including electrolytes (Na+, K+, Cl-, Ca2+, Mg2+), enzymes (AST, ALT, ALP, GGT, AMY, CK), substrates (GLU, BUN, CREA, UA, LAC), proteins (TP, ALB, GLO, TBIL, DBIL), lipids (CHOL, TG, HDL-C, LDL-C), and specifics like CRP, HbA1c, and TDM (e.g., digoxin, vancomycin). Utilizes multi-wavelength LED spectrophotometry (12 wavelengths, 340–800 nm) for low interference and high sensitivity, with automated calibration curves and QC Levey-Jennings charts to ensure <3% CV and flag outliers for reliable clinical decision-making.
Sample Requirements: Processes samples in 35-position rack (open/closed tubes, 2–5 mL vials) with 2–30 µL aspiration volumes, compatible with whole blood (capillary/venous), serum, plasma, urine, or CSF. Features barcode reader for positive ID, auto-dilution (up to 1:50), and collision-free probe with liquid level sensing to prevent cross-contamination, ideal for minimal-volume pediatric or STAT testing without pre-centrifugation.
Throughput: Delivers up to 100 tests per hour in random-access mode, suited for small clinics or labs running 300–800 profiles daily. Continuous sample loading and parallel reaction processing (60 disposable cuvettes) enable rapid panel completion in 8–12 minutes, with STAT interrupt capability to prioritize urgent cases like troponin or ammonia levels during emergencies.
Technology: Employs holographic grating spectrophotometry for precise absorbance across 12 wavelengths, paired with a high-precision robotic sampler and integrated mixer for bubble-free reactions. The QR code system auto-identifies reagents for calibration and expiry checks, while the 37°C incubator maintains stable incubation; self-diagnostics and auto-wash protocols minimize errors, aligning with CLSI guidelines for consistent performance in compact setups.
User Interface and Storage: Integrates a built-in PC with 10.4-inch sliding color touchscreen for vivid, gesture-based navigation and multilingual support (up to 8 languages, including English, French, and Chinese). Monitors real-time status with graphical dashboards; stores 500,000+ results including curves, QC trends, and patient data in a searchable database. Built-in thermal printer outputs customizable reports, with USB/RS232/LAN ports for HL7 LIS integration and PDF/CSV exports to streamline workflow and compliance.
Reagent System: Open system with 35 refrigerated positions (2–8°C, 24-hour stability) for liquid R1/R2 kits, supporting Goldsite’s low-volume, ready-to-use reagents to reduce waste by 40%. Auto-detection via QR codes handles inventory, dilution, and alerts for low stock or expiry, with minimal dead volume (0.2 mL) and daily startup QC to extend usability up to 72 hours.
Dimensions and Portability: Ultra-compact footprint of 510 × 360 × 460 mm (W × D × H) weighs 25 kg, occupying <0.18 m² for easy benchtop or cart placement in tight spaces. Low power (≤150 VA) and quiet operation (<50 dB) suit 10–30°C ambient with 30–80% humidity, with optional wheels for mobility in multi-site clinics.
