Siemens BFT II Coagulation Analyzer – Benchtop CLIA Non-Waived Hemostasis System

Compact Hemostasis Analyzer for Accurate Blood Clotting Tests

The Siemens BFT II Coagulation Analyzer is a compact benchtop system designed to perform automated coagulation testing, including PT (Prothrombin Time), APTT (Activated Partial Thromboplastin Time), fibrinogen, and thrombosis-related assays.

It uses pre-defined assay protocols, dual measuring channels, and temperature-controlled incubation to analyze blood clotting function, providing accurate and reproducible results for clinical laboratories and diagnostic settings.

Who This Coagulation Analyzer Is For

Best For:

• Clinical and hospital laboratories
• Diagnostic labs performing hemostasis testing
• Laboratories requiring CLIA non-waived systems
• Small to medium-volume testing environments
• Labs needing compact benchtop analyzers

Not Ideal For:

• CLIA-waived or point-of-care testing
• High-throughput, large-scale reference laboratories

Core Testing Capabilities and Why They Matter

Comprehensive Coagulation Test Menu

Supports key hemostasis assays, including:

• Prothrombin Time (PT)
• Activated Partial Thromboplastin Time (APTT)
• Fibrinogen testing
• Thrombin time
• Factor deficiency assays
• Lupus anticoagulant testing
• Thrombosis risk evaluation

These tests are essential for diagnosing clotting disorders and monitoring anticoagulant therapy.

Throughput and Performance

• PT Throughput: Up to 60 tests per hour
• APTT Throughput: Up to 30 tests per hour
• Dual measuring channels enable simultaneous testing

This allows laboratories to improve turnaround times while maintaining accuracy.

Workflow and Sample Handling

Dual Measuring Channels

Allows two tests to run simultaneously, increasing efficiency and reducing delays in result reporting.

Low Sample Volume Testing

Supports half-volume and single cuvette testing, making it suitable for limited or sensitive samples.

Manual Pipetting with Error Reduction

• Light protection cap ensures proper pipetting workflow
• Channel remains closed until cuvette insertion

This reduces user errors and improves consistency.

Automation and System Features

Pre-Defined Assays with Stored Reference Curves

• Eliminates manual calibration
• Ensures standardized and reproducible results

Automatic Result Calculations

Automatically calculates:

• PT (seconds)
• % of normal
• INR
• Fibrinogen (mg/dL or g/L)

Temperature-Controlled Incubation Block

Maintains stable conditions for reagents and samples, ensuring accurate test results.

Onboard Capacity

• Supports up to 30 cuvettes
• Includes reagent mixer for consistent preparation

Result Handling and Output

Built-In Thermal Printer

• Prints test results directly
• Simplifies documentation and reporting

Automatic Timing System

• Built-in timer with automatic start/stop
• Ensures precise measurement intervals
