P-GL5 Portable
Sports Analyzer

P-GL5


The P-GL5 portable sports analyzer offers assays for lactate, glucose and cholesterol, as well as urate and alcohol, for a small additional capital increase over the P-LM5 dedicated lactate analyzer.

The integral rechargeable battery allows the analyzer to be used at track or poolside and the optional all-weather carrying case enables the P-GL5 to be operated in virtually any environment. A mains version, the Model GL5, is also available.

Analytical Principle:

    In oxidase enzyme reactions, the analyzer measures the rate of oxygen uptake and under appropriate controlled conditions, this is directly proportional to the concentration of the analyte.

    Example:
    Lactate in whole blood or plasma

Operation:

    For each assay, the simple injection of a sample is all that is needed to obtain a result and prepare the analyzer for the next analysis. Sample injection via an accurate positive displacement pipette triggers the complete analytical cycle and a hard-copy result is then printed within 20 seconds. The analyzer is first calibrated with a standard of the metabolite in question.

    Samples can be whole blood (for key assays such as lactate and glucose), plasma, serum or other biological fluids

    Analyses are menu-driven via the 32-character display which guides the operator through the complete procedure. Subsidiary menus are reached via YES and NO buttons which enables the user to change analysis type, optimize operational modes, utilize special functions and perform statistical data analysis. The display also provides self-test diagnostics in relation to electrode status and fluid movements.

    Changeover between analytes is quickly and simply effected and all fluid pathways inside the analyzer can be rapidly sterilized without compromising performance.
