iFlash 1800 immunological analyser

iFlash 1800: an efficient system for controlled diagnostics

The iFlash 1800 from YHLO is a benchtop analyser dedicated to chemiluminescence immunoassays (CLIA), designed to provide laboratories with a reliable, stable and consistent tool for their daily analyses. Thanks to its compact architecture, it maximises production per square metre, with a processing capacity of up to 180 tests per hour. This sustained pace is accompanied by access to initial results in just 12 minutes, saving considerable time in emergency situations or during periods of high throughput.

With 50 sample positions, 20 reagent positions and a 1,000-cuvette continuous loading reaction tank, the system is designed to reduce interruptions in the analytical process. It also allows simultaneous loading of samples, reagents and consumables without stopping current cycles, enabling smooth, uninterrupted work. Automatic functions such as dilution, restart and reflex analyses support the technician by limiting manual handling and improving overall accuracy.

The ergonomics of the iFlash 1800 are based on targeted technical choices. Its cuvette loader simplifies handling and reduces loading time, while its independent gripping device ensures safe and accurate handling of containers. The contactless vortex mixing system eliminates the risk of cross-contamination, preserving sample integrity.

The range of tests available covers a wide variety of fields, such as reproductive health, autoimmunity, tumour markers, bone metabolism, infectious diseases, thyroid disorders, diabetes, respiratory diseases, viral screening (including HIV and SARS-CoV-2), and cardiac markers. With over 110 parameters available, the iFlash 1800 allows analyses to be consolidated on a single platform, limiting sample fragmentation and ensuring increased traceability.

Thanks to its meticulous design, the iFlash 1800 provides total control over diagnostic processes. It offers optimal reagent stability via its refrigerated carousel (2-8°C) and allows automatic monitoring of reagent levels. All these features combine to offer a comprehensive, robust and efficient solution that is perfectly suited to the current requirements of clinical laboratories.
