RX Monaco - Clinical Chemistry Analyser from the Randox RX Series

Offering speed, versatility and efficiency

The RX monaco is a fully automated, cost effective solution for low to mid volume clinical chemistry testing offering the ultimate in convenience, performance and confidence.

The RX monaco is capable of performing up to 170 tests per hour; providing cost effective, high quality testing for small laboratories. This discrete random access system, combined with the market leading RX Series test menu, allows for complete consolidation of routine and specialised testing onto one efficient, easy to use platform.

An efficient and cost effective option to upgrade from a semi-automated to fully automated analyser, the RX monaco can be easily integrated into any laboratory setting, with the option of a floor standing unit if bench top space is a concern.
