What it is

The Dimension EXL 200 Integrated Chemistry System is a clinical chemistry and immunoassay analyzer manufactured by Siemens Healthineers. The system integrates photometric chemistry testing and immunoassay testing on a single platform intended for smaller-sized laboratories. The Dimension EXL 200 has a compact footprint of 1.5 sq m (16.2 sq ft).[3][2][4]

How it works

The Dimension EXL 200 uses LOCI (Luminescent Oxygen Channeling Immunoassay) advanced chemiluminescence technology for immunoassay testing, providing sensitivity with small sample volumes. Photometric testing is performed using a tungsten halogen lamp and a filter wheel with wavelengths from 293 nm to 700 nm. The system also includes integrated multisensor technology (IMT) for electrolyte measurement of sodium, potassium, and chloride.[2][1][5]

The analyzer operates as a random-access system with continuous sample loading. Samples, reagents, controls, and calibrators can be loaded and unloaded without pausing processing. The system can perform up to 440 photometric chemistry tests per hour, 187 IMT tests per hour, and 167 immunoassay tests per hour. A basic panel can return first results in 4 minutes, and electrolyte results in under one minute.[2][1][6]

Where it fits in the process flow

The Dimension EXL 200 is used in clinical laboratories for routine chemistry and immunoassay testing of patient samples. The system accepts a variety of sample tubes including 5 mL, 7 mL, and 10 mL tubes, as well as pediatric tubes and sample cups. STAT samples can be placed in any position for priority processing. The system performs automatic sample integrity checks for hemolysis, lipemia, and icterus.[1][6]

Applications

The Dimension EXL 200 is applied in clinical diagnostics for a wide range of test categories. The system's assay menu includes general chemistry, cardiac markers (such as troponin I and BNP), therapeutic drug monitoring, drugs of abuse/toxicology, immunosuppressive drug assays, thyroid function tests, tumor markers (PSA), and specific proteins. The system can test serum, plasma, urine, and cerebrospinal fluid.[2][4][1]
