The Erba EC 90 is engineered to simplify diagnostic workflows through its “Plug and Play” all-in-one cartridge system. Unlike traditional analyzers that require individual electrode maintenance and refilling, the EC 90 integrates the sensors and reagents into a single disposable unit. This design eliminates the risk of electrode failure and significantly reduces hidden maintenance costs.
The analyzer is particularly effective for pediatric and geriatric testing because it requires an exceptionally small sample volume of just 35 $\mu$L. Its software is intuitive, featuring a “one-click” analysis mode and comprehensive quality control modules with Levey-Jennings plots to ensure NABL compliance and laboratory accuracy.
