The Octet® R4 System is priced for customers looking for a balance between throughput and cost. This system provides higher throughput than the 2-channel Octet® R2 instrument, and the same sensitivity as the 8-channel Octet® R8 instrument - at a lower overall price. Key benefits: Fast Results - The Octet® R4 system has four parallel, independent channels for increased flexibility and faster results.High Sensitivity, Moderate Throughput, Low Cost - The Octet® R4 system is designed for customers looking for moderate throughput sample analysis, without any compromise on assay sensitivity. Reduced Assay Time and Maintenance Cost - The Octet® platform provides faster time to results and process economy when compared to other technologies due to its fluidics-free Dip and Read format. Additionally, crude sample compatibility saves valuable time by eliminating the need for sample pre-treatment, and non-destructive testing conserves precious samples for other assays. Field Upgradeable within a Single Visit - Choose when to upgrade to an 8-channel Octet® system for higher throughput and full GMP compliance. Upgrades are performed on-site within a single visit by trained Sartorius engineers without the hassle of down time or system trade-in.
