DiaSorin ETI-Max 3000 Fully Automated Microplate Analyzer

The ETI-MAX 3000 is a fully automated microtiter plate analyzer performing the complete sample processing (sample pre-dilutions, sample and reagent dispensing, incubations, wash processes, plate transports) as well as the photometric measurement and evaluation.

The instrument is controlled by Windows PC software. This software allows the user to process the pre-defined assays of DiaSorin as well as assays programmed by the user. The clear structure with intuitive user-guidance allows simple and quick operation of daily routine jobs as well as programming of user-specific assays.
