For lab managers
Real automation without the premium headaches
100 tests/hour = handles your growth
Random access = reduce turnaround time, and allow true walk-away operation
Disposable cuvettes = zero washing maintenance
STAT priority = urgent samples jump the queue
No cuvette washing, no cross-contamination
The FC-120 uses disposable cuvettes in a rotating 90-position tray (9 segments). No washing systems to maintain. No concerns about carryover between samples. No reagent contamination from inadequate cleaning. Each reaction gets a fresh cuvette, automatically.
Bi-directional LIS connectivity actually works
Connects to your laboratory information system and exchanges data both ways. Sample orders download automatically. Results upload when complete. No middleware headaches. No proprietary software requirements. Standard connectivity that works with existing systems.
Built for the realities of growing laboratories
Random access means you can run glucose for one patient, liver panel for another, kidney function for a third - all in the same batch. No more grouping tests by type and making patients wait for their specific panel to be scheduled. Test what you need, when you need it.
STAT capability for emergency situations
Urgent samples get priority automatically. Emergency glucose for a diabetic crisis. Stat creatinine before emergency surgery. Troponin for chest pain in the emergency department. STAT samples interrupt routine testing and produce results fast.
Method-defined washing programs keep reagent integrity
While cuvettes are disposable and don't need washing, the FC-120 still has smart probe cleaning protocols. Interior and exterior automatic probe washing prevents reagent contamination between sample aspirations. Method-defined programs mean each test gets the appropriate cleaning level.
500,000 result storage means years of data
No external server needed for basic storage. Patient results and QC data stay on the analyzer even when network connections fail. Export data when convenient, not because storage is full.
Flexible reagent configuration
Up to 26 positions for R1 reagents, plus 13 positions that can hold either R1 or R2. Configure based on your test menu needs. System tracks reagent levels and alerts before you run out.
User-defined profiles and calculations let you customize
Your protocols. Your calculations. Your workflow. The FC-120 adapts to how you work instead of forcing you into predetermined methods that don't match your patient population or clinical needs.
Quality control that satisfies accreditation requirements
Levy-Jennings charts track performance over time. Westgard multi-rule detection flags problems before they affect patient results. Store comprehensive QC data for audits and regulatory compliance. Even in challenging environments, maintain the documentation needed for quality programs.
Multiple calibration curves handle diverse assays
Factor, one-point linear, multi-point linear, multi-point non-linear, log linear, exponential, logistics-log, polynomial, parabola, spline. The FC-120 gives you the calibration options needed for everything from basic glucose to complex immunoassays and drug monitoring.
For distributors
The analyzer that captures growing laboratories
The most successful distributors in emerging markets build sustainable businesses through high-touch relationships rather than transactional sales. By partnering with HTI, these distributors get comprehensive training, marketing support, and direct access to manufacturing leadership, helping them grow into market leaders.
Perfect market timing for emerging healthcare
Growing clinics need to automate but can't burn budget on premium Western brands. The FC-120 hits the sweet spot - real random access automation at pricing that works in developing markets. You're selling laboratories what they need to grow, not what premium brands think they should buy.
Disposable cuvettes = predictable recurring revenue
Every test uses a fresh cuvette. Every laboratory needs continuous cuvette supply. This creates steady, predictable reorder patterns that build sustainable revenue streams. Plus HTI manufactures the cuvettes, so supply chain is direct.
Training that sticks with operators
10.4" color touchscreen with clear menus and user-defined profiles means training is straightforward. Operators can customize their work environment instead of memorizing complex navigation. Less time you spend on retraining, more time you spend growing accounts.
Service that doesn't need engineering degrees
Disposable cuvettes eliminate entire categories of service calls. No cuvette washing system failures. No optical cell contamination. No cleaning mechanism breakdowns. When service is needed, modular design allows component-level troubleshooting instead of complex system diagnostics.
Multiple languages speak to your market
English, Spanish, Russian, Ukrainian. Simple visual queues that are universally understandable. Training materials make sense. Error messages are understandable. You're not fighting against an interface designed only for English speakers in Boston.
LIS connectivity opens institutional accounts
Hospitals and reference labs need analyzers that integrate with their information systems. Bi-directional LIS connectivity makes the FC-120 viable for accounts that would automatically reject analyzers requiring manual data entry.
Compact footprint fits existing lab spaces
At 63cm x 48cm x 51cm, the FC-120 fits on standard laboratory benches. Your customers don't need lab renovations or dedicated analyzer rooms. Install where space exists, not where space could theoretically be created.
Backed by HTI's commitment to emerging markets
Regional support in your time zone and language. We understand that growing laboratories often operate with minimal technical staff - making responsive support critical to your customer relationships and your reputation.
Real-world applications where BioChem FC-120 delivers
District hospitals in Kenya managing chronic disease programs
Processing 50-100 chemistry tests daily for diabetes monitoring, kidney disease follow-up, and liver function screening. Random access lets staff run diverse test menus without batching delays. STAT capability handles emergency cases without disrupting routine workflow.
Reference laboratories in Mexico serving multiple clinics
Receiving samples from 5-10 satellite clinics daily. Bi-directional LIS connectivity streamlines sample tracking and result reporting. Disposable cuvettes eliminate cross-contamination concerns when processing samples from diverse sources.
Growing clinics in Eastern Europe graduating from semi-automation
Patient volumes have outgrown semi-automated methods but budgets can't support premium automation. The FC-120 provides true random access capability at pricing that makes the automation leap financially viable.
Emergency departments needing STAT chemistry capability
When chest pain patients need troponin, diabetic emergencies need glucose, or pre-surgical cases need metabolic panels, STAT priority ensures urgent results without manual intervention or workflow disruption.
Regional hospitals establishing cardiac biomarker programs
Starting troponin testing for acute coronary syndromes. Adding BNP for heart failure. Building specialized chemistry capabilities that random access systems enable. The FC-120 supports program development without premium system investment.
Laboratories replacing aging refurbished analyzers
Tired of maintaining refurbished equipment with unreliable support. The FC-120 offers modern automation with support structures that actually respond when technical issues arise. New technology at realistic pricing.
How BioChem FC-120 compares with alternatives
Versus similarly priced analyzers
The FC-120 competes directly with analyzers like the Mindray BS-200 but requires no refrigerated reagent storage and offers simpler maintenance. Both target growing laboratories, but the FC-120's simpler operation and lower infrastructure requirements make it more suitable for emerging markets.
