DxLAB sample rack for streamlined sample handling

Meet the SimpleSolve Onboard Guide 

Partnering with you every step of the way, the SimpleSolve onboard guide notifies you of problems and helps you fix them before they derail progress—minimizing downtime and putting control back in your hands.

Deliver Critical Results at the Speed of Patient Care

The DxC 500i offers rapid time to first results—in as few as eight minutes for chemistry tests and 18 minutes for immunoassay panels like βhCG. Coupled with random access to expedite priority samples, this analyzer can support even the busiest shifts.

Furthermore, we help you handle testing surges with rapid throughput—up to 100 immunoassay tests per hour and 400 photometric chemistry tests per hour (up to 800 with ISEs).

Optimize Your Workflow

In today’s busy labs, every minute counts. We’ve optimized every part of the DxC 500i to maximize your efficiency so you can focus on your top priorities.

Load chemistry and immunoassay reagents and consumables on the fly
Reduce hands-on time with one point of entry for chemistry and immunoassay samples
Streamline sample handling and deliver critical results faster with a 12-lane sample handler

One-Tube Chemistry and Immunoassay Testing

You don’t need multiple tubes to run multiple tests. With the DxC 500i, load just one tube for both chemistry and immunoassay testing. That means fewer pour-offs, less time handling samples, more walk-away time, and simpler workflows for everyone.
