Fully automated systems: Erytra
Grifols Erytra meets high demands without sacrificing the operational efficiency you would expect from Grifols automation.
Prioritize testing efficiency
Grifols Erytra manages throughput and turnaround time for you whether you are testing one sample or 96. The Erytra has an upright design that doesn’t require excessive space and moves samples, cards, and reagents seamlessly with self-organizing workflow.
Simplify manual testing
Test up to 48 Type and Screen assays and 60 complete ABO/Rh tests per hour with nonstop 4-hour walkaway autonomy.
Meet your lab’s demands
STAT samples are easily managed with the STAT access button for immediate sample loading and prioritization, maximizing autonomy and limiting required user intervention.
Maximize your resources
Erytra’s efficient use of system resources with smart system software means all aspects of testing are managed without sacrificing system throughput or turnaround time.
