across your network.
FlexMode Operations It's your work. Manage it according to your priorities.
Independent Maintenance
Run tests on one side of the analyzer while running maintenance on the other.
Dynamic Sample Handler
Prioritize immunoassay and chemistry testing according to each sample’s urgency.
Count on the Beckman Coulter Tradition of Reliability
We’ve designed reliability into every corner of the DxC 500i so you can count on:
- Exceptional uptime
- Consistently accurate results
- A broad portfolio including high-performing immunoassay and chemistry menus
- A solid supply chain that keeps you prepared to run the tests you need
- Dependable service
We designed the analyzer to provide the simple operation and superior clinical quality you have come to expect from us. Standardized features include:
- Many shared reagents and consumables with legacy Beckman Coulter analyzers for commutable patient results and simplified inventory management
- Familiar look and feel to minimize training
- DxLAB sample rack for streamlined sample handling
Partnering with you every step of the way, the SimpleSolve onboard guide notifies you of problems and helps you fix them before they derail progress—minimizing downtime and putting control back in your hands.
Deliver Critical Results at the Speed of Patient CareThe DxC 500i offers rapid time to first results—in as few as eight minutes for chemistry tests and 18 minutes for immunoassay panels like βhCG. Coupled with random access to expedite priority samples, this analyzer can support even the busiest shifts.
Furthermore, we help you handle testing surges with rapid throughput—up to 100 immunoassay tests per hour and 400 photometric chemistry tests per hour (up to 800 with ISEs).
Optimize Your WorkflowIn today’s busy labs, every minute counts. We’ve optimized every part of the DxC 500i to maximize your efficiency so you can focus on your top priorities.
- Load chemistry and immunoassay reagents and consumables on the fly
- Reduce hands-on time with one point of entry for chemistry and immunoassay samples
- Streamline sample handling and deliver critical results faster with a 12-lane sample handler
You don’t need multiple tubes to run multiple tests. With the DxC 500i, load just one tube for both chemistry and immunoassay testing. That means fewer pour-offs, less time handling samples, more walk-away time, and simpler workflows for everyone.
