Clinical biochemistry analyzer, using blood to study pathology, clinical test data indispensable for modern medicine
Clinical biochemistry analyzers are instruments that use the light yellow supernatant (serum) of centrifuged blood samples or urine samples and use reagents to induce reactions to measure various components such as sugar, cholesterol, proteins, enzymes, etc. These tests are used for routine health checkups or in hospitals, and the results provide objective data that can detect and diagnose disease early and indicate treatment effectiveness and patient prognosis.
Additionally, medical devices are expected to be cost-effective as healthcare costs continue to increase. The most economical instrument on the market, BioMajesty™ provides high-precision, high-speed processing using micro-volume samples and reagents by incorporating a sample dilution tray, a standout unique feature of the BioMajesty™ analyzer.
In addition, we develop laboratory information systems and laboratory automation systems to provide our customers with comprehensive support and streamline daily laboratory activities. This is something no other manufacturer can offer. In addition, our company has also developed testing information system products and a full sample automatic transmission system to support all activities from blood drawing to reporting; significantly improving the speed and efficiency of clinical testing work.
Find out your health from your blood
For example, to check kidney function, we measure and evaluate the concentration of substances such as urea nitrogen and creatinine in the blood. If more than a certain level is found in the blood, your doctor may tell you "I'm a little worried about your kidney function." Urea is the final product remaining after the metabolism of protein (one of the main nutrients in the body).
This urea is normally filtered by the kidneys and excreted as urine. However, if the kidneys are not working properly, unfiltered urea will remain in the blood, so blood urea nitrogen levels will increase. Creatinine, on the other hand, is a breakdown product (final metabolite) produced during muscle exercise and is also absorbed and excreted by the kidneys. Therefore, the presence of large amounts of these substances in the blood can be a sign that kidney function may have declined. In healthy adults, the upper limit of creatinine in 100ml (1dl) of serum is 1.2mg (1.2g/1,000). If more than this amount is detected, kidney function is considered questionable. This example is for the kidneys. There are other indicators such as aminotransferases (AST or GOT, ALT or GPT), cholesterol and bilirubin concentrations for liver function, and blood glucose (Glu) concentration and glycated hemoglobin A1C fraction percentage (expressed as %) for diabetes. , and soon. The concentration of various substances in the blood can tell us a lot about the clinical status. Today's medicine requires this kind of test data to make accurate diagnoses. This area is called biochemical testing in clinical testing.
Identify substances and quantities by color change
Colorimetric analysis methods and measurement principles
BioMajesty™ is an automated analyzer for biochemical testing that can analyze more than 100 different components in blood. The measurement principle is as follows.
You may remember the iodine-starch reaction experiment from school science class. When you add an iodine solution to a starch solution, the solution immediately turns blue. This confirms the presence of starch. Also, if saliva is added to a colored solution, the color disappears. This is because starch is dissolved by the action of amylase contained in saliva. The automatic biochemical analyzer uses this reaction to convert the amount of specific substances in the blood into a color change for measurement. The analytical method of measuring the amount of color change is called colorimetric analysis. The origins of this method are quite ancient, with shades of color originally being assessed by the naked eye. This is a method that has been used since the days of alchemy. The fully automatic biochemical analyzer automates the process of manual operation and naked eye (or using a spectrophotometer) evaluation in the past.
