It is an internationally renowned supplier and service provider of testing products. Focusing on the testing industry for 22 years, it is a leader in China in the field of urinalysis and biochemical analysis.

2. Beckman AU-680 biochemical analyzer

(1) Optical path system

AU-680 biochemical analyzer adopts the world's most advanced cluster type optical path holographic grating technology, making the wavelength range wider and more stable. The instrument combines high-speed digital technology to improve detection accuracy and speed, realizing ultra-micro reaction detection with a test volume as low as 120ul.

(2) Thermostat system

The original thermostat liquid circulation heating method. The thermostatic fluid is a high heat capacity, strong heat storage energy, non-corrosive liquid, so that the constant temperature is uniform and stable. In addition, the colorimetric cup is a hard quartz cup that can be used permanently, so it is free of regular replacement and maintenance.

(3) Stirring system

The unique three-head double cleaning stirring system, stirring bar is micro-spiral stainless steel. The surface of the analyzer adopts "Teflon" non-stick coating to avoid the adhesion of liquid, one group of stirring and two groups of cleaning at the same time to ensure fuller stirring, cleaner rinsing and minimal cross-contamination.

(5) Dispensing system

Ceramic core syringe is used for sample and reagent dispensing. The ceramic core is designed to resist wear and tear and has a long service life.


Bechmann is a company with a long history. It has been internationally known for the manufacture and sale of clinical analytical instruments. Its own in the testing industry already has a very strong competitiveness, and in 2009 after the acquisition of the Japanese Olympus Life Sciences Division of the clinical testing business, so that Beckman in the field of clinical testing as a whole to a new level.

Although Beckman biochemical analyzer technology is relatively mature, but in some details also need to improve. For example: the circulating system of thermostat solution also belongs to the indirect air bath. The air between the colorimetric cup and the thermostat solution is also susceptible to external temperature effects. At the same time, the constant temperature solution needs to be changed regularly, which is relatively expensive. The spiral stirring bar has a large contact area with the reaction solution, which is easy to cause carryover contamination. In addition, the inherent reaction time of AU series biochemical analyzer is 8 minutes and 15 seconds, which requires project calculation for individual projects.

3. Hitachi HITACHI 7180 biochemical analyzer

(1) Optical path system

Adopt the technology of cluster type optical path without phase difference concave etched grating, which makes the wavelength range wider and more stable. Combined with high-speed digital technology to improve detection accuracy and speed, ultra-micro reaction detection is achieved with a low test volume of 120ul.

(2) Thermostat system

Adopt high stability constant temperature water bath temperature control technology, constant temperature uniformity and stability. Together with the cost-effective semi-permanent UV colorimetric cup, the measurement results are more accurate and stable.

(3) Stirring system

Two independent stirring needles, using paddle stirring, stirring evenly, no spillage, no bubbling. The surface adopts "Teflon" non-stick coating to avoid the adhesion of liquid. After stirring, the stirring bar is thoroughly cleaned by gushing type rinsing method to ensure that no contamination is carried before the next stirring. All these improve the accuracy of test results.

(4) Probe system

The new intelligent probe safety system, with the plugging needle alarm function, three-dimensional anti-collision function, with the amount of tracking function, etc.

(5) Dispensing system

Ceramic core syringe is used for sample and reagent dispensing. The ceramic core is designed to resist wear and tear and has a long service life.

Hitachi automatic biochemical analyzer is manufactured and operated by HITACHI, and is an important equipment for clinical chemistry testing in hospitals at all levels. However, the Hitachi refrigeration system uses "compressor" refrigeration technology, which can cause vibration during the refrigeration process and affect the accuracy of colorimetric results. The dispensing system uses a "syringe" for sample addition, and the accuracy of sample addition is low for an internationally known brand like Hitachi.

4. Toshiba TBA-120FR Automatic Biochemistry Analyzer

(1) Optical path system
Adopting the ion etched holographic grating technology of the cluster type optical path, the wavelength range is wider and the stability is higher. Combined with high-speed digital technology to improve detection accuracy and speed, it achieves ultra-micro reaction detection with a test volume as low as 80ul.

(2) Thermostat system

Adopt high stability constant temperature water bath temperature control technology, constant temperature uniformity and stability. Together with the permanent new hard glass colorimetric cup, the test results are more accurate and stable.

TBA-FR series fully automatic biochemical analyzer is a series of single-line multi-channel random access fully automatic biochemical analyzers designed and produced by TOSHIBA in the 1990s for the in vitro quantitative determination of serum, plasma and other body fluid samples. The series offers excellent performance and proven technology. This has made the Toshiba TBA-FR series of fully automated biochemistry analyzers one of the most popular brands in its class and has a wide range of users around the world.

However, Toshiba's biochemistry analyzer dispensing system uses a "syringe" to refill samples. This is a low accuracy for an international brand like Toshiba. The stirring system uses piezoelectric vibration stirring, which is not uniform and prone to mechanical failure.

5. Mindray BS-800 biochemical analyzer

(1) Optical path system

Adopt the technology of cluster optical path holographic grating, which makes the wavelength range wider and more stable. Combined with high-speed digital technology to improve detection accuracy and speed, it achieves ultra-micro reaction detection with a low test volume of 100ul.

(3) Stirring system

Three-head flat paddle stirring, multi-step circulation stirring, secondary warm water cleaning, small cross-contamination, more adequate mixing.

(4) Probe system

The new intelligent probe safety system, with the plugging needle alarm function, three-dimensional anti-collision function, with the amount of tracking function, etc.

(5) Dispensing system

Ceramic core syringe is used for sample and reagent dispensing. The ceramic core is designed to resist wear and tear and has a long service life. The precision is lower than that of ceramic dispensing pump.

Founded in 1991, Mindray is a leading manufacturer of high-tech medical device research and development in China. Since its establishment in 1991, Mindray has been committed to the development and manufacture of clinical medical devices, with products covering four major fields: life information and support, clinical tests and reagents, digital ultrasound, and radiological imaging.
