Diagnostica Stago Start 4 Coagulation Analyzer Manual ~upd~ -
The is a reliable semi-automated benchtop hemostasis system utilized globally by medical laboratories. Engineered primarily for low-to-medium volume batch testing or as a back-up system for fully automated platforms, this 4-channel coagulometer delivers precise clinical results.
: A steel ball is dispensed into each cuvette. The analyzer measures the change in sample viscosity by tracking this ball's oscillation between magnetic transducers.
By 09:00, the START 4 was purring. Alena prepared the controls: STA-System Control N + P. diagnostica stago start 4 coagulation analyzer manual
Perform a calibration curve for fibrinogen or factor assays using standardized plasma.
Place one magnetic stirring ball into each cuvette using the automated ball dispenser provided with the kit. 3. Operating Procedure (Step-by-Step) Follow these steps to perform a standard clotting assay: Step A: Incubation The is a reliable semi-automated benchtop hemostasis system
Viscosity-based (mechanical) clot detection system. Test Channels: 4 independent measuring channels.
At 19:00, the evening tech arrived—new, fresh from certification. The analyzer measures the change in sample viscosity
The ball will begin oscillating. Keep the cuvette undisturbed until the mechanical sensor registers the clot, stops the timer, and prints the result. 5. Maintenance and Cleaning Protocols
The STart 4 operates using Stago's patented (a viscosity-based detection system). The official manual details everything from connecting the internal thermal printer to calibrating the dedicated electronic pipette.
She pipetted 50 µL of citrated plasma into a cuvette. Placed it in the carousel. Input the test: PT (Prothrombin Time).
Allows for simultaneous testing or running different assays concurrently.
