The Hitachi 917 is a automated biochemistry analyzer used by medical
laboratories to process biological fluid specimens, such as urine, CSF but
most commonly, blood.
Manufactured by Boehringer Mannheim, the Hitachi 917 is a commonly used
routine chemical bichromatic analyzer. Capable of doing 1200 test/hour with
ISE, it is a popular choice among small to medium size laboratories.
Appearance and use
The 917 has two trays for racks, plus a stat rack. Racks that hold five
test tubes slide in on the left side of the machine. There are two reagents
carousels on the right side of the 917. In the centre, towards the back, are
the reaction vessels, where the chemical reactions take place.
Ion selective electrode (ISE) reagents and components are in front of the
reaction carousel.
