Description
Built for busy clinics and laboratories, the CLINITEK Advantus Analyzer processes a sample every seven seconds, up to 500 tests per hour at peak demand. Auto-Checks technology validates each strip as it runs, and automatic calibration with every strip removes a routine manual step. It is the high throughput step up from benchtop point of care analyzers.
- Seven seconds per sample – delivers throughput up to 500 tests per hour for peak clinic and laboratory demand
- Auto-Checks technology – identifies strip types and detects humidity exposure, protecting result quality at volume
- Automatic calibration – with every strip keeps the analyzer ready without a separate calibration routine
- One touch STAT interrupt – lets an urgent sample jump the queue without disturbing batch processing
Main Description
High volume urinalysis needs an analyzer that keeps pace without giving up quality control, and that is the role this instrument fills in the Siemens lineup. It reads the Multistix family of reagent strips by reflectance photometry, taking dual readings at reactive and reference wavelengths and adjusting automatically for urine color. Sample loading is self-paced rather than dictated by the analyzer, and single or batch modes let the bench match the workflow of the moment. Three sieve functions flag confirmatory and microscopic follow up, so abnormal results surface quickly for review instead of hiding in a result list. Automatic QC prompting and QC lockout support the compliance routines a high volume service depends on. Ethernet connectivity and a 500 patient memory round out a system designed for centralized urinalysis benches.
Features and Benefits
Throughput and Test Handling
- High speed processing – runs at seven seconds per sample, up to 500 tests per hour, in single or batch mode
- Self-paced loading – lets operators load samples at their own rhythm, with one touch STAT interrupt for urgent work
- Barcode sample entry – accepts sample ID by manual entry, barcode, or download from the LIS, cutting transcription errors
Quality and Data
- Auto-Checks technology – identifies validated strip types, detects humidity exposure, and flags common sample interferences where available
- Result flagging – applies three sieve functions across confirmatory and microscopic review to highlight abnormal results
- Data capacity – stores 500 patient records and 200 control results, retrievable by patient ID

Why Choose This Product?
Benchtop point of care analyzers run out of headroom when urinalysis volume concentrates in one laboratory or a busy clinic. This analyzer is built for that workload, combining the highest throughput in the CLINITEK line with the same strip quality checks as the smaller units. It lets a service centralize testing without retraining staff on a new strip menu.
- Volume ready – 500 tests per hour absorbs morning peaks that would swamp a point of care benchtop unit
- Consistent at scale – Auto-Checks and automatic calibration keep quality uniform across thousands of strips
- Review focused – sieve flagging pushes abnormal results to the top of the review list, saving technologist time
- Familiar menu – reads the same Multistix strip family your point of care sites already stock
Frequently Asked Questions
How fast is the analyzer in routine use?
It processes a sample in about seven seconds, which supports up to 500 tests per hour. Loading is self-paced and both single and batch modes are available, with a one touch STAT interrupt for urgent samples.
Which strips and tests does it run?
It reads the Multistix family of urinalysis reagent strips by reflectance photometry. The menu covers leukocyte, nitrite, protein, blood, glucose, ketone, bilirubin, urobilinogen, pH, specific gravity, creatinine, and protein to creatinine ratio, with automatic urine color measurement.
What do the three configurations change?
The base configuration includes the analyzer with a barcode reader and a 12 month warranty term. The other two configurations carry 36 and 60 month warranty terms on the same instrument, so coverage can be matched to service planning.
How are abnormal results flagged?
Three sieve functions, covering confirmatory and microscopic review, flag abnormal results for quick attention. The analyzer stores 500 patient records and 200 control results for retrieval by patient ID.
Does it connect to a laboratory network?
Yes. A bidirectional Ethernet connection at 10/100 Mbit supports data exchange, and sample IDs can be downloaded from the LIS. An onboard 24 character thermal printer provides immediate hard copy results.
What quality control features are built in?
Auto-Checks identify strip types and detect humidity exposure, and the analyzer adds automatic QC prompting with QC lockout capability. Calibration is automatic with every strip, so there is no separate calibration routine to schedule.
Packaging and Ordering
Sold as listed: ea (SKU 1420, 10636672-EXT-3, 10636672-EXT-5). Benches that scan sample IDs at loading usually pick the barcode reader configuration.
