DxC 500 AU Chemistry Analyzer

System Simplicity for Expedient and Efficient Performance

Meet the DxC 500 AU—an easy-to-use chemistry analyzer that helps you optimize your operations, protect your productivity, and trust your results. Discover how we’re taking our clinical chemistry portfolio’s tradition of excellence to the next level.

Standardize on Excellence in Clinical Chemistry
Have confidence in accurate results you can trust—from anywhere in your network—with:

  • Standardized user experience for reduced operator variation, training, and troubleshooting
  • Standardized test menus, assay protocols, and reference ranges for equivalent results across platforms
  • Standardized quality control for confident comparisons of assay performance within your lab network and beyond

With this level of standardization, you can count on consistent and accurate results, informed patient care, and strong traceability to common standards.

Reduce Waste and Simplify Your Workflows with Flexible Reagent Storage
The DxC 500 AU’s reagent refrigerator offers 76 positions (and up to 60 individual analytes) to accommodate the various sizes you need—including 15, 30, and 60 mL. With ready-to-use reagents, you can choose the right kit size for your lab’s workload—no prep work required.

Don’t Waste Another Minute Finding the Right Sample Rack for Each Tube
Our unique DxLAB sample racks simplify sample loading of tube and nesting cups for easy processing of calibrators, quality control, and patient testing in a single rack. They accommodate various tube and cup sizes, so you can continuously load them as they arrive in the lab—no need to sort by size.

Busy Shift? Bring It On.
With throughput of up to 800 photometric tests per hour with ISEs, demanding workloads are no match for you. The DxC 500 AU clinical chemistry analyzer empowers low-volume labs to handle testing surges with ease, so you’re always ready to deliver the right results, on time—every time.
