Reads Plates and Cards
Duet is
a dual-purpose image analysis reader designed to measure
and interpret a wide range of blood grouping and other
haemagglutination assays using microplates, gel and
other similar card technologies.

Advanced Image and Data Analysis
Duet
incorporates the latest image analysis technology to
provide high resolution images for the greatest
sensitivity in the interpretation of all agglutination
based reactions. Advanced, programmable data analysis
software is used to enhance the sensitivity further
allowing parameters to be optimised for the specific
requirements of a particular test.

Reagent Flexibility
Duet
gives you the flexibility to choose the reagent supplier
to suit your particular needs. It is designed to read
all of the card technologies on the market and currently
has adaptors available for those from DiaMed, Ortho and
Sanquin (formerly CLB).

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.
