Important actions at the start
Activating your warranty
This registration enables you to activate the instrument's warranty and benefit from the peace of mind, manufacturer support (performed through the distributor), notices of important updates, and many more advantages.
Checking the software version
We recommend using the latest CYANElite 290 Software version: 1.5.3.16
This version fixes some minor bugs, thereby making the CYANElite 290, even more, user-friendly. This new software is fully compatible with all existing CYANElite 290 instruments. We advise you to upgrade all CYANElite 290 analyzers already installed in the field to ensure that all users can benefit from the improved functions.
Receive analyzer updates
By subscribing, you will receive technical updates for the CYANElite 290 only. [Recommended]
The updates are about firmware releases, service bulletins, and application notes. These mailings are purely technical: no commercial or promotional content.
The latest application sheets and method files
Application Sheets are instructions on how to use our biochemistry kits on a specific biochemistry analyzer. They contain the best advice for the best results.
The first use
In this video, we present the accessories of the CYANElite 290 and the analyzer’s first use. We recommend this video to all lab technicians in anticipation of the delivery and installation of the CYANElite 290 automated biochemistry analyzer. You will learn how convenient the setup is, and you will be better prepared to start testing.
Routine actions
Here you will learn how to load reagents on the CYANElite 290 analyzer and how to match them in the software; how to refill the washing solution; how to replace cuvettes and how to do it when the analyzer is already running and last but not least how to refill the washing solution.
Calibrating & Quality Control
When, how and why calibrate the CYANElite 290? Performing calibrations and using quality controls regularly is an essential laboratory practice. It gives scientific validity to the reported results. Calibration is necessary because it influences the calculation factors. Verifying and correcting these factors contributes to accurate measurements, which is fundamental for producing conclusive clinical test results. Here we also we demonstrate how to program and schedule quality controls on the CYANElite 290 analyzer.
