STart® Hemostasis Analyzer

The STart® is a benchtop hemostasis analyzer featuring Stago's patented method of electro-mechanical clot detection (Viscosity-based Detection System). This method eliminates interference from lipemic, icteric or other optically dense samples or reagents. The analyzer offers programmable and pre-programmed assays with curve storage, 4 independently-timed incubation stations, electronically-linked multiple pipettor, 40-character liquid crystal display and an internal thermal printer. Its lightweight, compact size makes it ideal for low to medium volume batch testing or as a back-up to an optical clot detection system.
