Catalyst One: the chemistry analyser that optimises your veterinary diagnostics
The IDEXX Catalyst One is a fully automated chemistry analyser designed specifically for veterinary clinics. This innovative device can perform up to 25 tests simultaneously from a single sample, whether serum, plasma, urine or processed whole blood. Its compatibility with the IDEXX VetLab workstation provides a centralised view of results from different analysers, facilitating clinical decision-making.
One of the major strengths of Catalyst One is its speed: results are available in less than 8 minutes for some tests, enabling veterinarians to make accurate diagnoses and initiate immediate treatment. Its exclusive IDEXX dry slide technology reduces interference and ensures optimal sample quality, even with potentially disruptive substances present in the blood.
Catalyst One also includes self-monitoring features such as SmartQC, which performs monthly quality checks to ensure consistent results. Its ease of use allows staff to learn quickly and perform tests independently. Workflows are streamlined with an intuitive interface and visual or audible alerts that guide the user through each step.
In terms of maintenance, the device has been designed to minimise manual intervention: cleaning of internal and external components is facilitated by step-by-step instructions and dedicated consumables. Compact and lightweight, the Catalyst One fits easily into any clinical environment, even small ones, while maintaining optimal ventilation and protection of its components.
Thanks to its connectivity, the Catalyst One can print illustrated and detailed reports, enabling better communication of results to pet owners. This helps to build customer confidence and improve adherence to the recommended treatments.
