The HumaStar 200 Next Generation (NG) features several technical and operational upgrades over the original HumaStar 200 to improve precision and reduce long-term costs.

Key Technical Improvements

• Enhanced Pipetting Precision: The NG model features an upgraded pipetting unit that delivers higher precision, especially for low-volume aspirations, and improved repeatability across tests.
• Advanced Cuvette Washing: It includes a redesigned cuvette wash station with method-defined washing programs. This reduces the failure rate and improves overall assay performance by ensuring cleaner reaction environments.
• V-Shaped Reaction Cuvettes: The NG uses new V-shaped low-volume cuvettes. This design is a significant cost-saver, potentially reducing the price per test by up to 50% due to lower reagent consumption.
• Integrated 2D Barcode Scanner: Unlike the original model, the NG has an integrated 2D scanner. This allows for the effortless and automatic import of QC (Quality Control) and calibration target values, reducing manual entry errors.
• Updated Software: The NG runs on a new software version designed specifically for intuitive touchscreen interaction and streamlined workflows.
• Reagent Cooling: While both models emphasize reagent stability, the NG highlights that its reagent cooling system is independent of the main power switch, allowing for 24/7 cooling even if the analyzer is turned off.
