This refers to the number of tests the analyzer can perform in a given time frame, usually measured in tests per hour. Throughput can vary widely depending on the model and size of the analyzer.
Clinical chemistry analyzers typically offer a wide range of tests, including basic metabolic panel (BMP), comprehensive metabolic panel (CMP), lipid panel, enzyme assays, hormone assays, and more. The specific tests available can vary between different analyzer models.
Clinical chemistry analyzers employ different assay principles to measure analytes in samples. Common assay principles include photometry, potentiometry, ion-selective electrode (ISE), enzymatic methods, immunoassays (e.g., ELISA), and chromatography (e.g., HPLC).
Clinical chemistry analyzers may offer connectivity features such as integration with laboratory information systems (LIS), bidirectional interface with laboratory automation systems, and support for barcode scanning of samples and reagents.
Clinical chemistry analyzers require regular calibration to ensure accurate and reliable results. Calibration methods may vary depending on the analyzer and the assays being performed.
The physical size and footprint of clinical chemistry analyzers can vary widely. Benchtop models are common in smaller laboratories, while larger floor-standing models may be suitable for high-volume testing facilities.
Automates blood and fluid analysis using technologies like spectrophotometry and immunoassays for diagnostic testing.
Basic metabolic, lipid, enzyme, and hormone assays, evaluating health parameters in blood and urine samples.
Improved efficiency, accuracy, and standardization, offering diverse testing options and streamlined workflow for clinical laboratories.
