The consumables of analyzers is the heart of success in a market
The purchase of an analyzer is the first but not the most important step for a laboratory.
The accompanying consumables of analyzers are those that make the purchase of an analyzer successful or not. The consumables must be reliable, high-performance with those specific machines and affordable.
The cost per test in the laboratory is that defines its viability and not the glamor behind the brand name of an analyzer.
The consumables must be tested by the manufacturer of analyzer and the customer must avoid the process of "ping-pong" between the manufacturer and the producer of a lowest-price consumable.
At the end of the day the anguish for producing the right result and repetition to achieve it, actually "kills" the laboratory economically and and psychologically.
