Clinical and biochemical analysis is one of the most reliable methods for various medical diagnoses in modern medicine. The procedures differ according to the biomolecule investigated and are often sophisticated as well as time-consuming when performed manually. Manual procedures are always susceptible to human errors, and misdiagnosis is not tolerable. A Fully Automatic Biochemistry Analyzer is a lifesaver in such scenarios. It automates each step of the analysis, reducing manual involvement to produce highly accurate output.

A fully automatic biochemistry analyzer is laboratory equipment that identifies and measures specific chemicals in provided samples of body fluids. The most common biochemistry analyzers work based on the principles of photometry to estimate the presence of a specific analyte. The use of ion-selective electrodes is another popular method. The physical device will consist of reagent and sample carousels, a pipetting mechanism, and the photometric system in the background for analysis and output of the data through companion software installed on the connected PC.

A fully automated biochemistry analyzer doesn’t eradicate the need for lab technicians and experts, but makes it possible to produce more accurate outputs. Technicians still have significance in the diagnosis or analysis. The device is also equipped with automated quality control mechanisms to ensure accuracy. Overall, the use of automated systems guarantees optimal performance.

Applications of the Biochemistry Analyzer

1. Biochemistry analyzers are used in the pharmaceutical industry as well as for the diagnosis of various diseases.

2. In the biochemistry industry, biochemistry analyzers are used to analyze and also detect and identify various functions of biomolecules. They are used to determine the structure of the biomolecule as well.

3. The objective of a biochemistry analyzer is to use it to determine substances during the reaction that occurs in the cells due to enzymes.

4. Biochemistry analyzers are used in medical laboratories to perform a variety of tests, including sugar level testing and the study of enzyme or creatine levels in the blood. It has been used to identify, monitor, and cure many diseases in the medical industry.

5. In clinics, certain types of biochemistry analyzers are employed to figure out the link between antibodies and antigens in biological responses.

Features of Biochemistry Analyzers

Automatic analyzers are also equipped with advanced features. Support for using barcoded reagents, sophisticated auto washing systems, bubble detection, degassing, automatic error reporting, etc. are some of the features that improve efficiency highly. Manufacturers often offer proprietary photometry systems designed to overcome noise disturbances and equipped to reach super microanalysis. The size of the device, maintainability, quality of the manufacturing materials, etc. play a key role in the longevity and efficiency of the devices. 

Apart from the quality and maintainability of the hardware, the companion software is yet another significant part of the clinical chemistry analyzer. User-friendly software with a shallow learning curve can improve the user experience vividly. Having advanced control options through software is a definite plus in many use cases. Some manufacturers bundle their devices with dedicated computers with the software, while some provide software that’s compatible with any general-purpose system for more flexibility, both having their own pros and cons. 

The MISPA CXL Pro by AGAPPE is one such purpose-built, fully automated biochemistry analyzer. It has a compact form factor with a highly accurate and reliable photometric throughput of 180 tests per hour, made possible by their Holographic Concave Flat Field Grating (HCFG) rear spectrometry system. It provides best-in-class classic features like grating, mixing, and washing, delivering a highly competitive performance. The device is equipped with a 7-stop, 11-step onboard washing and cleaning system, vertical collision protection, digital liquid level detection for pipette probes, a degassing device to remove dissolved air from samples, and more. Conscious design choices in manufacturing materials like high precision ceramic pistons for syringes, nano-coating technology for probes, specifically designed lamp placement to reduce signal attenuation, etc. improve the longevity and maintainability of the device.
