Description:

The Abaxis Piccolo Xpress Chemistry Analyzer (model 1100-1000) is a compact, portable clinical chemistry system designed for point-of-care use, providing comprehensive diagnostic results in approximately 12 minutes from just 100 µL of whole blood, serum, or plasma. Utilizing disposable reagent rotors, the analyzer performs multiple analyte panels simultaneously, covering critical tests such as electrolytes, liver and kidney functions, lipid profiles, and metabolic assays. Its easy-to-use touchscreen interface, automatic quality control, and integrated thermal printer enable immediate, on-site interpretation of results, ideal for urgent care, veterinary practices, physician offices, and mobile clinical applications.

Economic Advantage:

The Piccolo Xpress’s main advantage is its ability to rapidly provide lab-quality chemistry results at the patient’s bedside, significantly shortening the diagnostic cycle. Its disposable rotor system reduces reagent waste and labor, eliminating the need for traditional laboratory infrastructure, costly equipment maintenance, and extensive training. By streamlining clinical workflow, reducing turnaround time, and improving patient care efficiency, the Piccolo Xpress offers substantial cost savings and enhanced revenue potential compared to centralized laboratory testing.
