STA Compact Max

Excellence Born from Expertise

Compact Max 3

The STA Compact Max® 3 combines advanced automation, intelligent sample integrity checks, and Stago's proven hemostasis expertise to help laboratories achieve reliable results, greater efficiency, and enhanced operational confidence.
 
At the heart of the system is the integrated Expert Pre-Analytical Check (EPC) module, which automatically verifies sample quality by assessing tube fill volume and detecting hemolyzed, icteric, and lipemic samples. This innovative technology performs comprehensive sample integrity checks without requiring additional plasma volume or impacting system throughput.
 
Built on Stago's unique mechanical, viscosity-based clot detection technology, the STA Compact Max 3 delivers dependable results that are not affected by optical interference while maintaining exceptional sensitivity for weak clot detection.
Designed with productivity in mind, the STA Compact Max 3 features innovative hardware enhancements, including a Single Resolution Pipettor (PSR) module and optional cap-piercing capability, helping reduce manual interventions, simplify maintenance, and improve user experience.
 
Advanced software capabilities further support laboratory efficiency and quality assurance. Enhanced traceability provides a complete, verifiable record of every variable associated with patient results, while automated reflex testing, clinical algorithms, and factor parallelism tools help laboratories leverage Stago's extensive clinical expertise in their daily operations.
 
With one of the largest sample, reagent, and consumables capacities in its class, the STA Compact Max 3 offers exceptional autonomy and workflow flexibility. Its random-access architecture ensures efficient STAT sample management, enabling rapid turnaround times for urgent testing without disrupting routine workload processing.
 
The system is backed by Stago's comprehensive service and support network, including remote diagnostics, proactive troubleshooting, and access to My Expert QC, Stago's automated externalized quality control platform, helping laboratories maintain operational certainty and consistent performance.
 
Routine and specialized assays can be performed simultaneously, supported by Stago's extensive portfolio of ready-to-use, highly stable liquid reagents that minimize preparation time and simplify reagent management. Features such as Stago's unique pre-calibration function, fully automated barcode-driven reagent management, and concurrent multiple reagent lot handling help laboratories streamline operations while maintaining compliance with quality and accreditation requirements.
 
The STA Compact Max 3 delivers the automation, reliability, and expertise laboratories need to optimize workflow, strengthen quality assurance, and confidently meet today's evolving hemostasis testing demands.
