Following the installation of an ABX Pentra 400 chemistry analyser at the University of Oxford, researchers in the Department of Physiology, Anatomy and Genetics are already seeing the benefits. Researching the role of diet and exercise on heart function, the team is analysing plasma metabolite levels, lactate, triglycerides, ketones and fatty acids in blood on a daily basis.
Now, same-day results are achieved on the ABX Pentra 400.
“Installing the ABX Pentra 400 has enabled us to bring all its work on-site, where previously we were outsourcing costly assays to the NHS,” explained Emma Carter, laboratory manager in the Department of Physiology, Anatomy and Genetics. In doing so, consistency and reliability is maintained across all research areas.
“Florence, as our ABX Pentra 400 is known, has become invaluable to our research. Having the analyser has enabled rapid delivery of results, enabling researchers to continue working with the minimum of delay,” continued Emma.
