Olympus has announced that external performance evaluation has confirmed that the newly launched AU-Connector has excellent operational capabilities. This compact, consolidated system which combines high workload Olympus analysers with Intelligent Sample Management was put to the test by
scientists at a busy private laboratory in Munich, Germany. It was evaluated with differing combinations of Olympus analysers, these included two AU2700 clinical chemistry systems together and the combination of an AU3000i immunoassay
analyser with an AU2700. In particular it was noted that both AU-Connector hardware and software were easy to operate and that start up and shut down times were superior compared to other integrated systems to date.
