Behnk Elektronik Thrombotimer

The Thrombotimer is a semi-automated opto-mechanical in vitro coagulation analyzer
which delivers high quality results and meets the demands of standardization in labs.
■ Measuring system
The opto-mechanical measuring system is a combination of a light source which adjusts to the samples
turbidity and a rotating steel ball. Different parameters lead to clot detection. The light signal decreases due
to a strong clot. Clots are centered by the rotation of the ball and this amplifies the measuring signal. Due to
the centering of weak clots, the remaining fibrinogen is rapidly removed and guarantees a strong signal.
■ Flexibility
After switching on the system automatically checks all important functions and is ready for use in a short
time.
■ Standardized workflow
With a definable incubation time for the test, as well as acoustic and visible signal when finished, incubating
sample and reagent is easy. The system starts the measurement automatically upon start-reagent addition
by using a standard laboratory pipette.
