Which chemistry analyzer can work with reflectance?

Reflectance photometry reads the color change produced on a dry-slide reagent by measuring light that reflects off the slide surface, rather than light that passes through a liquid. The Vitros 950 uses this dry-chemistry slide technology and relies on reflectance measurements to quantify analytes. The other models listed are cuvette-based photometric systems that detect light transmitted through liquid samples, not reflectance from a slide surface. Because reflectance is a hallmark of the dry-chemistry approach used by the Vitros platform, this analyzer is the one that can work with reflectance.
