Blood analyzer PATHFAST™ TYPE E

for blood plasmafor serumlaboratory

Product summary PATHFAST™ TYPE E is a compact, fast chemiluminescence enzyme immunoassay (CLEIA) analyzer designed for point-of-care quantitative testing using whole blood, plasma, serum and, for TB LAM Ag, LAM extract/sputum. The system delivers laboratory-correlated results with a small footprint suitable for laboratories, hospitals and medical offices.

Key features

• All-in-one single-use reagent cartridges (no additional reagents required)
• Six parallel channels: up to 6 samples or parameters per run
• Fast throughput: typically <17 minutes for 6 samples for critical care/sepsis/TB LAM Ag workflows
• Supported sample types: whole blood, plasma, serum (and LAM extract/sputum for TB LAM Ag)
• Simple sample-to-result workflow: load sample into cartridge → place rack into analyzer → start assay

Design & usability

• Modern ergonomic desktop design with wide-opening door for easy cartridge/rack access
• 8.4-inch LCD touchscreen for intuitive operation
• Built-in barcode scanner and integrated printer
• USB port for data transfer and maintenance hatch
• Three-color 360° status indicator for simple operational monitoring

Principle & precision PATHFAST™ combines CLEIA with Magtration® technology to provide high accuracy and precision using small sample volumes and to ensure reproducible results that correlate with laboratory analyses.

Available biomarkers & applications PATHFAST™ supports a broad test menu for emergency care, critical care, sepsis diagnostics and tuberculosis.

• Emergency care: high-sensitivity troponin (hs‑cTnI), myoglobin (Myo), CK‑MB, D‑Dimer, NT‑proBNP, hsCRP, HCG‑Preg
• Sepsis: Presepsin, B.R.A.H.M.S PCT
• Tuberculosis: TB LAM Ag (LAM extract / sputum workflow)
