AlphaION: In-house laboratory diagnostics

Now you can conduct complete, extensive laboratory testing at point of care. AlphaION (Alpha-ion) includes five analyzers that perform nine lab functions, so you can do extensive diagnostic workups without the delay and inconvenience of sending samples to a reference laboratory.  

Flexible setup options let you organize analyzers in a single base to neatly store power cords – or set them up to operate as individual analyzers. Modular, easy-to-use, space-saving design to take up a smaller footprint. AlphaION is simple, powerful laboratory testing at the point of care.

Simple and reliable tests

AlphaION is designed for busy veterinary practices. The engineers at AlphaION know point-of-care lab testing must be easy, reliable and accurate to make medicine easier, not harder. 

All-in-one consumables mean reagents are precisely aliquoted, and calibration is verified with each patient test. Say goodbye to bulky reagent packs, clogged tubes and complicated quality control procedures. 

AlphaION works for your practice

General

Your high-performing clinic is focused on screening healthy-appearing patients. Run automated urine and fecal testing, full chemistry with electrolytes and CBC with 6-part differential covers pre-surgical and geriatric health checks. 

Emergency

Your urgent care clinic is busy at all hours with emergency cases. In-clinic coagulation and blood gas testing combined with full chemistry, hematology, automated urine testing and specialized biomarker testing ensure results are available to meet patient needs, not the reference lab schedule. 

Specialty

You have a specialty practice with special cases. Leverage extensive cardiac, renal, hepatic, endocrine and inflammatory biomarker testing plus CBC with 6-part differential and reticulocyte count. 

Time-sensitive

A patient with a serious infection requires answers, sooner rather than later. Automated bacterial culture and sensitivity testing for easy testing at point of care and results within 24 to 48 hours. 

New technology for better care

AlphaION is a customizable solution, developed to fit your unique needs. The analyzers have an elegant, modular design intended to minimize physical footprint – and can be utilized as a suite or individually. 

AlphaION’s cutting-edge technology is built to evolve and last. Lab operations are improved by AlphaION’s workflow automations, consumable-based background and calibration verification, artificial intelligence with clinical decision logic and PMS integration. Patient health insights grow with new test method technologies, such as holographic cell reconstruction, bacterial culture on chromogenic agar and surface acoustic wave biosensing. 

In-house lab analyzers
