The Pentra C200 clinical chemistry analyzer provides a continuous throughput of 90 colourimetric

tests/hour with optional high throughput of 270 tests/hour (ISE module). It features the "Pentra"
cassette for reagent management and fully automatic cuvette management with two racks of 96 single-
use cuvettes.
