Alera Analyzer Reagents & Supplies

Laboratories running the ACE Alera Clinical Chemistry System depend on a steady supply of matched reagents, diluents, and consumables to keep results accurate and instrument uptime high. This collection brings together the general chemistry reagents and hardware that keep ACE, ACE Axcel, and ACE Alera analyzers performing to specification — the same platform-specific supplies your lab already validates against.

Because reagent compatibility is not interchangeable across analyzers, everything here is formulated for the ACE family. You'll find 3M ACE General Chemistry Reagents in cartridge configurations like the SA1012 (R1: 3 x 30 mL, R2: 3 x 9 mL, 560 tests) and higher-volume packs such as SA1010 and SA1023 (6 x 30 mL, 800 tests) for busier chemistry benches. The General Chemistry Reagent Diluent (SA1020, 6 x 12 mL) supports proper sample dilution, while serum/plasma reagent kits like the SA1052 and SA1053 (450 tests) cover routine panel testing.

Test yields vary by pack, so it helps to map your monthly volume against configuration before ordering — a 600-test cartridge (SA1009, SA1014) may suit a mid-volume lab, while the 800-test packs reduce reorder frequency for high-throughput sites.

Beyond reagents, we stock the durable consumables that keep the fluidics running: the Alfa Wassermann cuvettes (ACD-2) used across ACE Alera clinical chemistry systems, and the ACE Evap-Cap closure (ACD-5) that limits reagent evaporation on ACE, ACE Alera, and VetACE analyzers — a small part that protects reagent integrity between runs.

Ordering the correct catalog number the first time matters, since these are analyzer-specific SKUs; each listing notes the compatible instruments and test count to make matching straightforward. If your facility also handles patient-facing products, explore our Alera Skin Care Products collection.
