Viscosity-Based (mechanical) Detection System consistently delivers accurate and precise results
• Exclusive technology standardised on all Stago systems
• Insensitive to interferences from coloured plasma (haemolysis, icteric and lipemic samples)
• Maximum precision for weak clot detection (Fibrinogen)
Its design as a “drop” shape is a visual nod to the lineage of Stago logos, but it has also been thought to improve user comfort thanks for example to the position of the incubation and measuring positions, the reagents and pipette, and the tilted display.
The STart Max is therefore a combination of modernity and simplicity, as its previous model the STart 4, whose robustness made its high reputation over the decades.
These semi-automated analysers can therefore be found in labs of various size: with either small volume of coagulation tests or as back-up of larger Max Generation instruments. But they can also present some special interest for fully automated optical systems, who may sometimes need an alternative method for their problematic samples.
