Secure Operation

The Duet is designed to work either in stand-alone mode or integrated with a sample processor such as the Qasar IV or BeeGroup 300. Whichever mode is used, automatic identification of both plates and cards is achieved using an integral bar-code reader. Results data is then be automatically linked to the sample identifiers and can then be exported to the laboratory computer system.

Powerful Data Manipulation

Aurora software from Sanguin International provides almost unlimited flexibility for viewing and reporting of results. Reports can be custom designed to your own specification. Aurora also enhances security of operation by comprehensive password protection at all levels to reduce the risk of unauthorised access. A complete audit trail of user operations can be used to aid retrospective fault finding.
