QuickScan 2000 uses flat-bed densitometry to image visible electrophoretic analytes on agarose gels with the speed of Microsoft Windows® and the ease of Helena technology.

What you see is what you get.

What you see is the image of the patient pattern on the display for ease in editing. What you get is that image on the full color printed report too, as well as the densitometric data.
For ease of editing, cursor movements on the densitometric tracing are also reflected at the corresponding point on the patient pattern. Patients can be monitored over time by retrieving and overlaying previous results for comparison. Both are a tremendous help when it comes to interpretation.

Nice full-color presentation demonstrates patient results, pattern image and quantitation in choice of units.



QuickScan 2000 Data Handling Features

qs simple Simple to Use – Operators can master operation in minutes. There are no slits to select, no wavelength to choose.

auto editing Auto Editing – Cholesterol scan editing is automatically performed via intelligent software.

Pick a Beta – Choose quantitation of the split beta as one or two fractions.

Positive ID – Barcoded gels allow positive ID from patient tube to final results. When integrated with the Auto Sample Handler, the QuickScan 2000 can download patient worklists created from barcoded patient samples.

custreport Custom Reports – Combine a patient's IFE and SPE on a single report or profile up to 100 scan to view patient results over time. Report formats are totally customizable, including logos, demographics and appearance of data.

interpretive Customized Interpretive Analysis - Build your own decision limits and interpretive comments library, making reporting results a snap. Comments can be automatically added for "normals" and coded for quick retrieval. Text can be easily amended.

matching

Easy Retrieval – Quickly search, sort and retrieve results from up to 10,000 gels by your choice of up to four demographic fields.

 

Network Capability - Patterns can be viewed and edited over the LAN.

qcfunction Easy QC - Simply selecting the QC function sets the QuickScan 2000 in motion to scan a linearity step-tablet and neutral density control.
