For lab managers
Real automation without premium system headaches
240 tests/hour = handles growing volume
40 sample positions = continuous loading
Disposable cuvettes = zero washing maintenance
24 hours refrigerated reagent compartment = onboard stability
Built for the realities of growing laboratories
Random access with STAT priority means urgent emergency department samples get immediate attention while routine morning draws process efficiently. No more choosing between emergency responsiveness and efficient batch processing - the FC-200 Plus handles both simultaneously.
Works with the water you have
While DI water gives you the best analytical performance, the FC-200 can operate with lower quality water when DI systems aren't available. This flexibility matters in facilities where water infrastructure varies or DI water systems compete for limited resources. You get accurate results whether you have perfect laboratory water or standard filtered tap water.
81 cuvette positions with disposable segments
The reaction tray holds 81 positions organized in 9-cuvette strips. Each strip is disposable, eliminating cross-contamination concerns and washing maintenance. No cuvette washing systems to break down. No carryover investigations. No optical contamination. Just fresh optical quality for every test.
Refrigerated compartment maintains reagent stability
40 reagent positions stay at proper storage temperature (2-8°C) with 24-hour cooling. No separate reagent refrigerator competing for space. Reagents stay onboard, stable, and ready for continuous operation.
Method-defined washing protects reagent integrity
While cuvettes are disposable, intelligent probe cleaning prevents reagent contamination between aspirations. Interior and exterior automatic probe washing with method-defined programs means each test gets appropriate cleaning levels.
User-defined profiles and calculations let you customize
Your protocols. Your calculations. Your workflow. The FC-200 adapts to how you work instead of forcing you into predetermined methods that don't match your patient population or clinical needs.
Quality control that handles moderate throughput demands
Levy-Jennings charts track performance over time. Westgard multi-rule detection flags problems before they affect patient results. When processing 150-200 samples daily, automated QC monitoring catches issues early instead of after dozens of potentially affected results.
Comprehensive calibration options for diverse test menus
Factor, one-point linear, multi-point linear, multi-point non-linear, log linear, exponential linear, logistics-log 4P, logistics-log 5P, exponential 5P, polynomial 5P, parabola, spline. The FC-200 Plus gives you calibration flexibility needed for routine chemistry, immunoassays, drug monitoring, and specialized testing.
For distributors
The analyzer that captures mid-volume laboratories
The most successful distributors in emerging markets build sustainable businesses through high-touch relationships rather than transactional sales. By partnering with HTI, these distributors get comprehensive training, marketing support, and direct access to manufacturing leadership, helping them grow into market leaders.
Win district hospitals and regional laboratories
These facilities need real automation but can't afford high-end systems from premium manufacturers. The FC-200 Plus delivers 240 tests per hour at pricing that works in emerging markets. You're competing where other mid-range analyzers like the Mindray BS-240 operate, not against unaffordable premium systems.
Disposable cuvettes = predictable recurring revenue
At 150-200 tests daily, cuvette consumption creates significant recurring revenue. Every test needs a fresh cuvette. Laboratories reorder frequently. HTI manufactures the cuvettes directly, ensuring reliable supply chain and consistent quality.
Replace aging equipment profitably
Many district hospitals operate old, refurbished analyzers from various manufacturers. Support is inconsistent. Parts are expensive. Downtime is frequent. The FC-200 Plus offers modern automation with support structures that actually work - at pricing that makes replacement financially viable instead of aspirational.
Training and support for growing operations
Growing laboratories can't afford extended downtime for training or troubleshooting. User-defined profiles and calculations let operators customize workflows. Clear interfaces in multiple languages (English, Spanish, Russian, and Ukrainian) mean less training time. Regional support responds when technical issues arise.
External computer appeals to IT departments
Hospital IT departments prefer standard Windows-based systems they understand over proprietary platforms. The FC-200 Plus uses familiar technology that integrates with existing networks and security protocols. This reduces IT objections that often kill analyzer purchases.
Bi-directional LIS connectivity meets institutional needs
Facilities processing 150+ tests daily need analyzers that integrate with laboratory information systems. The FC-200 Plus provides true bi-directional connectivity, meeting institutional requirements at this operational level.
Compact footprint fits existing laboratory spaces
At 80cm x 60cm x 65cm, the FC-200 Plus fits on standard laboratory benches. Your customers don't need laboratory renovations or dedicated analyzer rooms. Install in existing spaces without facility modifications.
Backed by HTI's emerging market focus
Regional support in your time zone and language. We understand that growing laboratories in developing markets need responsive support, not three-week waits for technicians from another continent.
Real-world applications where BioChem FC-200 Plus thrives
District hospitals in Kenya processing 150-240 chemistry tests daily
Managing comprehensive metabolic panels for diabetes monitoring, kidney disease staging, liver function assessment, and lipid screening. Random access handles diverse test menus efficiently. Continuous loading maintains workflow when samples arrive throughout the morning.
Regional reference laboratories in Mexico serving satellite clinics
Receiving samples from 5-10 rural clinics daily. Bi-directional LIS connectivity tracks samples from collection through result reporting. External computer manages workflows involving multiple ordering facilities. Refrigerated reagent storage handles diverse test menus without constant reagent changes.
Hospitals in Eastern Europe modernizing their laboratories
Moving beyond older semi-automated systems or aging analyzers. The FC-200 Plus delivers automation at realistic pricing for facilities transitioning to modern laboratory operations. Contemporary technology with regional support that understands local challenges.
Emergency departments with growing STAT chemistry demand
When patient volumes increase, STAT priority ensures urgent samples get processed immediately. Random access lets emergency samples interrupt routine workflow automatically without manual intervention. Critical for facilities seeing increased emergency department utilization.
Laboratories establishing specialized chemistry programs
Adding therapeutic drug monitoring. Expanding immunoassay capabilities. Building comprehensive metabolic disease programs. The FC-200 Plus supports program development with the throughput and flexibility that specialized testing requires, without premium system investment.

Key advantages over reusable cuvette systems
Disposable cuvettes eliminate entire categories of problems that plague washing-based systems. No cuvette washing pump failures. No inadequate cleaning causing carryover. No biofilm formation. No washing solution management. While cuvettes add consumable cost, the reduction in service calls, troubleshooting time, and repeat testing more than compensates.
Water flexibility matters in real-world conditions
The ability to operate with filtered tap water when DI systems aren't available gives the FC-200 Plus a significant advantage in facilities where water infrastructure varies. Premium results with DI water, acceptable results with filtered water - flexibility that keeps your laboratory running when conditions aren't perfect.
Fair chemistry analyzer pricing for growing laboratories
The BioChem FC-200 Plus is priced for laboratories that need automation but operate in emerging healthcare markets where every purchase competes with other critical needs. We understand that district hospitals and regional laboratories need modern automation without premium pricing structures designed for Western healthcare systems.
While disposable cuvettes add consumable costs compared to reusable cuvette systems, total cost of ownership stays competitive through reduced maintenance, fewer service calls, and elimination of washing-related downtime. Factor in the included computer, pre-programmed applications, and regional support, and the FC-200 Plus delivers exceptional value.
