Mindray BS-360 Series Chemistry Analyzer: Reliable High-Performance Clinical Biochemistry Solution

In modern clinical laboratories, a dependable automated chemistry analyzer is critical for delivering fast, accurate diagnostic results to support patient care. The Mindray BS-360 Series Chemistry Analyzer is a compact yet powerful bench-top biochemistry system built for mid-volume labs, balancing high throughput, flexible workflows and robust traceability to meet daily clinical testing demands.

Core Performance & Throughput

The BS-360 adopts discrete random-access operation with STAT sample priority to handle urgent specimens promptly.

· Up to 360 photometric tests per hour; throughput can reach 540 tests per hour when equipped with the optional ISE module.

· Multiple measuring principles are supported: absorbance photometry, turbidimetry, and ion-selective electrode technology.

· Available assay modes include end-point, fixed-time, and kinetic tests. It works with single- or double-reagent chemistries, supporting both closed original pack reagents and open-system reagent compatibility, giving laboratories great operational flexibility.

Reagent & Sample Handling

Designed for high-capacity, stable sample processing:

· Refrigerated 2-12 °C storage compartment holds 50-100 reagent positions and 50-100 sample positions for 24-hour preservation.

· Precise dosing: R1: 100-200 μL (0.5 μL step); R2:10-200 μL (0.5 μL step); sample volume 2-35 μL (0.1 μL step).

· Probes feature liquid-level detection plus internal & automatic external washing, ensuring carry-over kept below 0.05 %.

· Pre dilution and post-dilution for automatic sample dilution, plus an independent mixing bar for thorough reaction mixing.

· Optional built-in barcode reader supports multiple barcode formats and bidirectional LIS communication for seamless lab data management.

Reaction & Optical System

· 80 reusable cuvettes sit in the reaction tray; reaction volume ranges 100-360 μL. Air-bath maintains stable reaction temperature at 37 ℃ ±0.1 ℃. Cuvettes are cleaned by a dedicated washing station using pre warmed detergent and de-ionized water.

· The halogen-tungsten light source provides 12 selectable wavelengths covering 340 nm-800 nm. Absorbance range reaches 0-3.5Abs with high resolution of 0.0001Abs.

· Optional ISE module enables direct measurement of potassium, sodium and chloride electrolytes.

Calibration, QC & Traceability

Rich calibration algorithms are available: K-factor, 2-point/multipoint linear, Logit-Log 3P/4P/5P, spline, exponential, polynomial, parabola and broken line fitting. One key calibrator import simplifies routine setup. For quality control, it supports Westgard multi rules, Levey Jennings charts, cumulative sum check and twin plot analysis. Following ISO 17511 standards, the complete measurement traceability chain links reference materials through calibrators to routine patient samples. Mindray’s reference laboratory has passed the international RELA external quality assessment for six consecutive years, confirming reliable result accuracy.

Hardware & Working Specs

· Runs on Windows 10 operating system with RS 232 interface.

· Power input: 200 240 V 50/60 Hz or 100 130 V 60 Hz, ≤1300 VA.

· Dimensions: 860 mm(L) × 660 mm(D) × 550 mm(H); weight: 115 kg.

· Water consumption ≤6.5 L per hour.

Extensive Assay Menu

The BS 360 covers comprehensive clinical test panels: hepatic function, renal markers, immune proteins, diabetes biomarkers, cardiac indicators, lipid profiles, anemia related items, rheumatism markers, lung, and pancreatitis assays. It supports HbA1c, microalbumin, cystatin C and many other high value clinical parameters, covering most routine biochemistry needs.

Who Is It For?

Thanks to its compact footprint, high throughput, open reagent option and complete QC traceability framework, the Mindray BS 360 series fits perfectly for medium sized hospitals, clinical diagnostic labs, reference laboratories and medical centers seeking stable, cost effective automated biochemistry performance.

If you are looking for a bench top chemistry analyzer that balances speed, accuracy and workflow flexibility, the BS 360 series deserves your full consideration.
