IDEXX Catalyst One Veterinary Chemistry Analyser

IDEXX Catalyst ONE enables analysis of chemistry and electrolyte samples in as little as 8 minutes and t4 in 15 minutes. Allows processing of individual analytes or entire panels. You can simultaneously process up to 25 parameters using very low volumes of whole blood, serum, or plasma to achieve this with a single sample.

IDEXX Catalyst ONE Chemistry Analyzer Get the results you need, in one run, during the patient visit Run any of 34 parameters now for chemistry, electrolyte, and immunoassay profiles in a single run of whole blood.

The Catalyst One is a next-generation clinical chemistry analyzer for veterinary practice. The analyzer has a flexible test menu that allows users to choose the desired test and customize profiles by adding single tests to CLIPs.

IDEXX Catalyst ONE Features:

• Accuracy inside and out with proprietary technologies

Differences with the Catalyst Dx

Basically these teams differ only in design and size, the Catalyst in its most modern version Catalyst ONE has a more successful and stylish aesthetic and weighs half. IDEXX opted to do away with the touch screen and have a minimalist front panel. In terms of operation, both teams perform the same tests at the same speed and use the same reagents.

Analysis that it is capable of performing:

• Albumin, Alkaline Phosphatase, ALT, Amylase, AST,
• Bile Acids, BUN, Calcium, Cholesterol,
• Creatinine kinase, Chlorine, Creatinine, C Reactive Protein,
• UPC, GGT, Glucose, Potassium, Lactate, LDH, Lipase, Magnesium,
• Sodium, Ammonium, Phenobarbital, Phosphorus, Progesterone,
• SDMA, Total Bilirubin, Total Proteins,
• Triglycerides, total T4, UCREA, UPRO,
• Ac. Uric, Fructosamine.

Functioning:

It uses dry plate technology which has the advantage that you can perform analytes individually or together, in addition to improving the levels of precision in the results of hemolyzed, icteric or lipemic samples.

It works with whole blood, plasma or serum and can use from 0.6 ml of whole blood or 60 microliters (0.06 ml of serum or plasma).

It integrates and operates exclusively through the Vetlab Station, where the results will be stored, and you will obtain unique and integrated reports for each patient.

The equipment will receive updates and remote support through the IDEXX Smart Service system.

Costs per sample and Profitability:

IDEXX has only one local supplier that you can go to for reagent purchases. 

We will use CLIP CHEM 15 as an example for our calculations, which, as its name indicates, has 15 parameters to evaluate (ALB, ALB/GLOB, ALKP, ALT, BUN, BUN/CREA, Ca, CHOL, CREA, GGT, GLOB, GLU, PHOS, TBIL, TP). 

This panel can be purchased for 32 dollars, and the clinics that use this equipment usually charge clients 80 dollars for the panel.

This represents a net profit for each panel of 48 dollars. 

Covering the entire investment will take 142 exams like this if you buy the equipment in cash.
