Biochemistry analyzers and hematology analyzers are two different instruments with different properties and categories. However, there is overlap in their testing programs. The hematology analyzer can replace the traditional biochemistry analyzer to determine blood potassium, blood sodium, blood glucose and total blood carbon dioxide, but there are differences in the results of blood potassium and total blood carbon dioxide.
Biochemistry Analyzer
Biochemistry analyzers use the photoelectric colorimetric principle to measure a specific chemical component in body fluids and can detect the following four types of items.
-
1. Liver function: glutamic aminotransferase (ALT/GPT) glutamic oxalacetic aminotransferase (AST/GOT) alkaline phosphatase (ALP) total bilirubin (T.BIL) direct bilirubin (D.BIL), total protein (TP), albumin (ALB)
-
2. Renal function: urea nitrogen (BUN), creatinine (Cre), carbon dioxide binding capacity (CO2), uric acid (UA)
-
3. Lipids: total cholesterol (CHO), triglycerides (TG), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C)
-
4. Blood glucose: glucose (GLU)
Hematology Analyzer
Hematology analyzers are also known as blood cell analyzers, hematology analyzers, and blood cell counters.
The hematology analyzer mainly detects red blood cell count (RBC), white blood cell count (WBC), platelet count (PLT), hemoglobin (HGB), mean red blood cell volume (MCV), lymphocytes (LYM), monocytes (MON), neutrophils (NEU), eosinophils (EOS), and basophilic fine (BAS).
The above is an introduction to biochemistry analyzers and hematology analyzers. In general, although both analyzers belong to analytical products, they are quite different from each other. Although the biochemistry analyzer and the hematology analyzer test items occasionally partly overlap, in terms of data differences are also relatively large, and generally will not be confused with the two.
