Every analyser on your bench, connected.

Open by design. From single-result handhelds to multi-channel benchtop instruments, if your analyser speaks an open standard, it can talk to Catenix.

Connectable instruments include Seamaty, Abbott, Roche, Siemens, Sysmex, Wondfo, Nova, Werfen, Radiometer, Quidel, bioMérieux, QIAGEN, Tosoh, HORIBA, Arkray, Snibe and ACON, with more added on request, typically within days.

Connect your analyser

46 step-by-step connection guides, by device.

How each analyser connects, how quality control is kept separate, and how results reach your LIS or EHR.

No guide matches that search. If your analyser speaks HL7, POCT1-A2 or ASTM, we can almost certainly connect it anyway: see custom integrations or send us the make and model.
Protocol

HL7 v2

ORU result messages and ORM orders over MLLP or raw TCP. Inbound and outbound: Catenix both receives results and sends orders back to a LIS or EHR.

ORU^R01 · ORM^O01 · ACK
Protocol

POCT1-A2

The point-of-care connectivity standard (POCT1-A2 / A2). Catenix runs a compliant device-to-observation listener with bidirectional directives.

POCT1-A2 · bidirectional
Protocol

ASTM & proprietary

ASTM E1381/E1394 framing plus selected vendor-proprietary frame stacks, decoded the way the spec actually reads, not the way a brochure does.

ASTM · vendor frames

Analyte coverage

Every category of point-of-care test.

Glucose & HbA1c

Diabetes monitoring handhelds and benchtop analysers.

Blood gas & electrolytes

Critical-care near-patient panels.

Coagulation

INR / PT and point-of-care coagulation.

Cardiac markers

Troponin, BNP and rapid cardiac panels.

Urinalysis

Strip readers and automated urinalysis.

Haematology

Compact CBC / full-blood-count analysers.

Infectious disease

Molecular and rapid antigen platforms.

Lipid panels

Cholesterol and full lipid profiles.

Drug & alcohol

Questions, answered

The device questions clinics ask first.

Which protocols does Catenix support?

Catenix supports HL7 (v2.x), POCT1-A2 and ASTM, REST and selected proprietary device frames. Connectivity is bidirectional.

My analyser isn't listed. Can you still connect it?

Most likely yes. If a device speaks HL7, POCT1-A2 or ASTM, Catenix can integrate it. New device profiles are typically added within days of receiving the interface specification.

Do I need new hardware?

Usually not. A lightweight edge agent runs on an existing clinic PC and talks to analysers over the local network. Some older analysers may need a network module or serial-to-network bridge.

Not on the list

Your analyser is missing? We build the connection for it.

Niche instruments, regional brands and discontinued models are exactly the ones no middleware supports. If it can speak over serial, ethernet or a file drop, we can usually read it. Send us the make and model and we will tell you what is possible, then quote for it.

Custom integrations →Request a quote

Tell us three things

1. The make and model.
2. What it has on the back: serial, ethernet, USB.
3. Whether it already prints or exports anything.

That is usually enough for us to say yes, no, or what it would take.

Onboarding

Live in days, not quarters.

01
Install
Drop the signed edge agent onto a clinic PC; it auto-discovers and stays current.
02
Point
Aim each analyser at the gateway's listener. Catenix auto-detects the wire format on first connect.
03
Confirm
Run one test per device; results land in the dashboard and you diff against the printout.
04
Go live
Switch on QC, reporting and billing. The thread is connected end to end.
