Pictus BThe semi-automated analyzer

for all laboratories

Diatron Clinical Chemistry • Quality without Compromise

Pictus B analyzer meets the needs of small laboratories having not only a low sample volume but also require a cost effective and reliable system. With a built-in thermal printer and simple operation it can be used to run a number of manual clinical chemistry and coagulation tests (in a cuvette). It is an open system but for optimal performance the Diatron range of reagents should be used.
