Kenza 240

The Kenza 240 TX is an automated biochemistry analyzer from BIOLABO, designed to perform routine tests in medical diagnostic laboratories. With a throughput of 240 tests per hour, a Random Access system, and a compact benchtop design, it can be a practical option for medium-throughput laboratories. According to the manufacturer, this model is also optimized for laboratories handling approximately 25 to 80 patients per day.

Kenza 240 TX Performance

One of the key features of the Kenza 240 TX is its Random Access capability, which allows samples to be processed without a fixed testing sequence. Emergency or STAT samples can also be added at any time and from any position, providing greater flexibility in sample management.

The analyzer features 60 independent, refrigerated reagent positions and up to 50 positions for samples, controls, and calibrators. Continuous sample loading also allows laboratories to introduce new samples during operation without fully stopping the system.

Speed and Ease of Use

The Kenza 240 TX is designed for laboratories that value both suitable testing capacity and ease of operation. It does not require a separate start-up or shutdown procedure and can be integrated into the workflow at any time. According to the manufacturer’s specifications, the first result can be obtained in less than two minutes.

Other features include internal and external probe washing, reagent incompatibility management, fiber-optic technology, and a quality control system with tools such as Levey–Jennings charts and Westgard rules. Bidirectional LIS connectivity also enables better integration with the laboratory information system.

Water Consumption and Instrument Maintenance

One notable aspect of the Kenza 240 TX design is its low water consumption, which is specified at less than 2 liters per hour at maximum operation.

The reagent compartment is refrigerated, and reagent storage conditions are maintained even when the instrument is switched off. This feature can be beneficial for reagent management and laboratory workflow.

Consultation for Choosing the Kenza 240 TX

A biochemistry analyzer should be selected according to sample volume, required test types, available laboratory space, and daily workload.
