Fully automated stand-alone faecal analyser for a throughput of up to 270 tests/hour
Single-step analysis: simply load pierceable tubes onto the sample tray and start testing
Fast and continuous sample loading
Superior performance with excellent price/quality ratio
Possibility to run FOB and Calprotectin test in the same run

Analysing faecal samples is an important diagnostic procedure/measurement in determining intestinal disorders or diseases. A positive result might indicate a serious disease such as colorectal cancer (CRC), whereas a negative result may help to exclude such diseases. Quantitative faecal immunochemical tests (FIT) show a performance superior to conventional qualitative tests and answers laboratories’ need for automation and traceability. Testing of symptomatic populations within the scope of decentralised screening programmes as well as symptomatic patients in all hospitals or clinical laboratories requires a reliable, fast, and cost-efficient solution with little hands-on time.

With the SENTiFIT 270 Analyser, together with the pierceable tubes for sample collection and analysis, and next-generation immunological latex reagents, Sysmex offers a fully automated stand-alone clinical-chemical system for measuring faecal immunochemical tests with superior performance and an excellent price/quality ratio. The SENTiFIT 270 Analyser is a highly reliable solution, suitable for FIT testing of asymptomatic populations within the scope of decentralised screening programmes as well as symptomatic patients in all hospitals or clinical laboratories.

The SENTiFIT 270 Analyser for medium throughput of up to 270 tests/hour has fast and continuous sample loading and high on-board reagent stability. With the single-step analysis on this high-speed instrument, you can gain walk-away time, receive fast results and acquire cost-efficient solutions for your laboratory. The FOB Gold test fulfils the requirements set by the WEO CRC Screening Committee recommendations and several other country-based guidelines.
