CONTEC BC300 Semi Auto Biochemistry Blood Analyser with Touch Screen and Free Printer

The CONTEC BC300 is a semi-automated biochemistry blood analyser designed for clinical laboratories and small diagnostic centres. It measures biochemical markers in blood and other body fluids to assist in disease diagnosis, organ function evaluation, and therapy monitoring. The device combines a Linux operating system with a 7-inch colour touch screen, offering flexible control via touch, function keys, or external USB mouse and keyboard. Supporting Chinese, English, Spanish, and Portuguese, it is suitable for diverse clinical settings. With a built-in thermal printer included free, the BC300 delivers reliable results with convenient documentation.

Features and Construction

The BC300 integrates advanced optics, flexible measurement methods, and robust data management in a compact, 6 kg unit measuring 410mm by 340mm by 150mm. Its design prioritises ease of use, accuracy, and maintenance.

Optical System and Wavelengths

The analyser uses a halogen lamp light source and a 30μl quartz flow cell. It operates across seven wavelengths: 340, 405, 510, 546, 578, and 620nm, plus two free positions. Absorbency range is -0.3 to 3.0Abs with a display resolution of 0.001Abs and internal resolution of 0.0001Abs. Half-bandwidth is ≤12nm, ensuring clear spectral data. Stability is ≤0.005A over 30 minutes.

Measurement and Calculation Methods

The BC300 supports end point, two-point, kinetics, and double wavelength measurement methods. Calculation options include factor, linear regression, and nonlinear regression. This flexibility allows the device to adapt to a wide range of biochemical assays. Cross contamination is kept to ≤1.0% to maintain result integrity.

Data Storage and Quality Control

The device stores up to 500 test items and 10,000 test results. Quality control can be set for two batch numbers per item, with automatic statistical QC charting and data storage for one year. Multiple print modes and reports are available. Power-off protection automatically saves measurement results, and the lamp has an auto-dormancy function to extend its life.

Uses and Placement

The CONTEC BC300 is designed for clinical laboratories, hospital outpatient departments, and small diagnostic facilities that require reliable biochemistry analysis without a full auto-analyser. Its compact footprint and touch-screen interface make it suitable for busy bench spaces.

Clinical Diagnostic Use

In a clinical setting, the analyser helps evaluate liver and kidney function, glucose levels, lipid profiles, and other biochemical parameters. The combination of multiple measurement methods and seven wavelengths enables a broad test menu. The self-check function alerts users to light path, liquid path, or mechanical issues, reducing downtime.

Small Laboratory and Point-of-Care Use

For smaller labs, the BC300 offers a practical balance of throughput and cost. The ability to store 500 test items and 10,000 results means frequent tests can be run without re-entering parameters. The free printer provides immediate hard-copy reports, while standard RS232, USB, and Ethernet interfaces allow data transfer to LIS systems if needed.

Benefits and Buying Value

The BC300 delivers dependable performance with user-friendly operation and minimal ongoing costs. Its self-maintenance features and included accessories reduce the need for frequent service or part replacement.

Reuse and Low Maintenance

The quartz flow cell is durable and easy to clean, helping to keep cross contamination low. The halogen lamp has an auto-dormancy feature that extends its working life. The device's self-check function identifies issues early, and the built-in thermal printer uses standard recording paper. Replacement lamp, fuses, and pump pipe are included in the package.

Why Choose This Product

The CONTEC BC300 provides a complete semi-automated biochemistry solution with a free printer and essential accessories. Its seven-wavelength optical system, multiple calculation methods, and QC charting capabilities suit clinics that need reliable results with minimal complexity. The unit's compact dimensions, light weight, and multilingual interface make it easy to integrate into any laboratory workflow.
