February 2025—Sysmex America has signed an agreement with Sentinel Diagnostics that grants Canadian rights to distribute and service Sentinel Diagnostics SentiFIT 270 and 800 analyzers as part of a new fecal immunochemical test.
The SentiFIT 270 analyzer for fecal testing meets the needs of colorectal cancer screening organizations and laboratories with a medium volume of fecal occult blood and calprotectin tests. The analyzer has a throughput of up to 270 tests per hour. Automated, closed-tube sampling is made possible with a patented pierceable tube design that reduces hands-on time and exposure to the sample. The SentiFIT 800 analyzer has a throughput of 550 tests per hour with automated and fully traceable samples. The analyzer can be connected to a dedicated sample rack loader, the RH-150, which provides a steady flow of up to 150 samples.
Distribution and service will begin during the first quarter of this year.
