How Modern Chemistry Analyzers enhance Laboratory Operations

Chemistry analyzers play an important role in modern clinical laboratories and research facilities. Used to perform different diagnostic procedures on a routine basis, these devices come with unique capabilities to identify the various chemicals present in biological samples. They are used perform a wide range of tests related to diabetes, anemia, liver and kidney function, hepatic function, antibiotic drug level monitoring, thyroid testing, electrolytes and enzymes, lipids, proteins and other types of therapeutic drug level monitoring tests. They are also used to analyze samples of blood like albumin, magnesium, uric acid, bilirubin, calcium, creatinine, inorganic phosphorus, urea nitrogen (bun), glucose, iron or assays for thyroid. Leading manufacturers offer innovative models of analyzers to meet needs and budget requirements of labs of different sizes. Top quality instruments provide accurate, consistent and timely results, helping in quick diagnosis and treatment decisions.

Top Chemistry Analyzer Models

Here are some of the top models of chemistry analyzers available today -

• STAT FAX 3300 - This analyzer from Awareness Technology consists of a flip-up display screen with a large 240 x 128 pixel graphical display. A vacuum system speeds sampling and reduces carryover. The device stores patient data and shows kinetic plots in real time. It comes with plug-in standard external keyboard for easier data entry.
• ChemWell 2910 - This instrument from Awareness Technology features an open system that allows easy programming. It can set up assays, routine jobs, quality control, panels, and even index calculations to suit your specific needs. The lab equipment has the capacity to perform 200 tests per hour.
• UniCel DxC 800 - Manufactured by Beckman Coulter, this device is ideal for clinical labs that process more than 500 samples per day. The lab equipment enables continuous sample loading and has a capacity to deliver the results for 90 comprehensive metabolic panels in just one hour (NA, K, Cl, CO2, CALC, GLUC, BUN, CRE, TP, ALB, ALP, AST, ALT, and TBIL). In addition, results for 11 critical care tests are also offered by this model within 42 seconds.
• EasyRA - Medica EasyRA enables stat sample analysis in less than 8 minutes. This fully automated analyzer that fulfills the different needs of small laboratories, performs 150 tests per hour (>300 with integrated ISE), 24 sample positions and 24 reagents on board. It allows automated download of QC values, calibration values and reagent parameters resulting in minimum data entry errors.
• Excel - This easy-to-use analyzer from Stanbio is equipped to handle endpoint, kinetic and EIA assays. An open system format, it accommodates 120 programs. It features different calculation modes such as single point calibration by standard or factor, uptake, multi-point calibration with point-to-point curve fit, rate by standard or factor (batch or single) and sample blanking.
• Dimension Xpand Plus - Manufactured by Siemens, this system combines chemistry, STAT and specialty testing on a single, compact, easy-to-use system. It features a comprehensive menu of over 90% of critical assays and 47 assays onboard concurrently. A patented cuvette system automatically produces cuvettes for use and seals them for disposal.
