Refurbished HITACHI 7180

The Hitachi 7180 is a fully automatic random-access clinical chemistry analyzer designed for medium-to-large clinical laboratories, balancing high throughput, precision, and operational flexibility for routine, STAT, and specialized biochemical testing. Below is a detailed breakdown of its core features and specifications:

Core Performance

• Testing Throughput: Up to 800 tests per hour (T/H) for basic biochemistry; with the optional ISE module, total throughput reaches 1,200 T/H.
• Test Menu: Supports up to 86 simultaneous test parameters plus 8 calculation items, covering routine biochemistry, enzymes, metabolites, electrolytes (optional), and special markers.
• Sample Compatibility: Serum, plasma, urine, cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), and STAT samples with priority processing.

Key Systems & Technology

1. Sampling & Reagent Management

• Sample Volume: 1.5 μL–35 μL, adjustable in 0.1 μL increments for minimal sample waste.
• Reagent Capacity: 86 positions with 24/7 refrigeration (2–12°C); reagent volume 20 μL–270 μL, adjustable in 1 μL steps.
• Smart Sampling: Liquid level detection, 3D anti-collision, automatic dilution (3–100x), and STAT sample priority handling.
  2. Optical & Reaction System
• Optical Design: 12-wavelength (340–800 nm) holographic concave diffraction grating  with 5×5 mm cuvettes, minimizing stray light and reaction volume (120 μL–300 μL).
• Reaction Control: Temperature stability at 37±0.1°C; reaction times 3–22 minutes (per test); up to 4 reagents per assay.
  3. Workflow & Usability
• OS & Interface: Windows-based touchscreen with result prediction, online help, operator ID management, and batch processing.
• Data Integration: Bidirectional LIS connectivity, real-time result transmission, and audit trails for compliance.
• Reliability: Full-needle 3D cleaning ensures cross-contamination ≤0.05%; long-life components reduce downtime.

Applications

Ideal for high-volume routine testing (liver/kidney function, glucose, lipids, enzymes), emergency STAT analysis, and specialized assays, the 7180 delivers consistent accuracy while optimizing reagent costs and lab efficiency.
