Globe Scientific Horiba ABX Pentra 400 Racked Cuvette Segments — PMMA, 15/Rack, 30 Racks/Unit (5162)

Globe Scientific Horiba ABX Pentra 400 Racked Cuvette Segments (5162) are PMMA cuvette segments manufactured for the Horiba ABX Mira S Plus and Pentra 400 clinical chemistry analyzers. Each unit ships with 30 racks of 15 cuvette segments — 450 segments total — pre-loaded for direct placement into the analyzer's cuvette loading system. The racked format eliminates individual segment handling during high-throughput chemistry runs.

5162 vs. 5123: Different Analyzers, Different Cuvettes

Globe Scientific manufactures two racked cuvette products for related but distinct analyzer platforms. The 5123 is designed for the original Roche Cobas Mira, Mira S, Mira Plus, and Horiba ABX changer analyzers. This product — the 5162 — is specifically manufactured for the Horiba ABX Mira S Plus and Pentra 400 analyzers. Although both cuvettes use PMMA and appear similar, the rack configuration and segment geometry are optimized for each platform's unique loading mechanism. Installing the wrong cuvette format causes loading jams, misalignment errors, and wasted segments. Always verify your analyzer model number before ordering.

Horiba ABX Pentra 400 Platform

The Pentra 400 is a benchtop random-access clinical chemistry analyzer deployed in small to mid-sized hospital laboratories, reference labs, urgent care facilities, and veterinary diagnostic centers. It supports a broad test menu covering general chemistry, specific proteins, drugs of abuse, and therapeutic drug monitoring. The system's compact footprint and moderate throughput make it a common choice for laboratories that need comprehensive chemistry capabilities without the space requirements and operating costs of a floor-standing analyzer. These Globe Scientific cuvettes provide a third-party alternative to OEM Horiba ABX consumables at below retail pricing.

PMMA Material Performance

Polymethylmethacrylate provides the optical clarity and UV-visible transmittance required for photometric clinical chemistry measurements. Each segment is molded to tight wall thickness and path length tolerances to ensure consistent absorbance readings across the segment. The material is compatible with the aqueous reagent chemistries used in standard clinical chemistry assays. Non-sterile.
