High-Speed Amino Acid Analyzer LA8080 AminoSAAYA

1. Overview

Since the product launch, Hitachi high-speed amino acid analyzers have been used by a wide range of operators, from beginners to experts.

Their various application areas include the quality control of food and pharmaceutical products as well as biochemical research and contract analyses. This time, AminoSAAYA was developed in a compact design while maintaining the reliability and stability cultivated over many years.

The product was realized from users’ perspectives with the aim to provide better usability for beginner operators and a more comfortable operating environment.

2. Features

Comfortable:

• With consideration for the work and motions of operators based on the ergonomic concept
• Designed with consideration for the operational perspectives, daily work, and motions of users.
• Consideration for operability and safety: While retaining the conventional front access design, the height of the reagent setup unit was adjusted for better accessibility. It is devised to ensure the smooth operation of daily tasks such as reagent replacement and sample setup and maintenance, and the work performed in a half-sitting position has been minimized (The front door is also removable).

Compact:

Space-saving compact design (System setup area was reduced by about 30%). Compact design with the unchanged reliability and stability of the dedicated system.

Space-saving Design:

By optimizing the locations of the flow channel system and main unit internal module, the compact (system setup area reduced by about 30%) desktop type system was realized.

Reliable:

Use of highly reliable and stable post-column ninhydrin method
