When visiting a hospital whether for hospitalization, physical examination or to see a doctor for medication, many doctors will order a blood biochemical test. So what can this blood biochemistry test reveal about the disease? What role does the biochemistry analyzer play in it?

A biochemistry analyzer is an instrument used to detect and analyze chemical substances in the blood. It gives an important information basis for clinical disease diagnosis, treatment and prognosis and health status. Doctors use this information to determine the patient's condition and give appropriate treatment plans.

What are the routine biochemical tests?

Here is an example of Seamaty SD1 automatic dry biochemistry analyzer.

1. Liver function: total protein (TP), albumin (ALB), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), glutamyl transferase (GGT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), total bile acid (TBA), total bilirubin (TB), cholinesterase (CHE)
2. Kidney function: creatinine (Crea), urea (Urea), uric acid (UA)
3. Blood glucose and lipids: total cholesterol (TC), triglycerides (TG), glucose (GLU), high-density lipoprotein (HDL)
4. Electrolytes: sodium (Na), potassium (K), chlorine (Cl), calcium (Ca), inorganic phosphorus (PHOS), magnesium (Mg), carbon dioxide (tCO2)
Pancreas: amylase (AMY), lipase (LPS)
6. Myocardium: creatine kinase (CK), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), alpha-hydroxybutyrate dehydrogenase (HBDH), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH)

Seamaty dry biochemistry analyzer can test the above items. Biochemical analysis used in conjunction with this instrument

What are the components of biochemical instruments?

Biochemical analyzers can be simply divided into fully automatic biochemical analyzers and semi-automatic biochemical analyzers. Since most of them are now used, the following are the main components of fully automatic biochemical analyzers.

1. Sampler: place the sample to be tested, standards, quality control solution, blank solution and control solution, etc.
2. Sampling devices: including dilutors, sampling probes and pipelines for transporting samples and reagents, etc.
3. Reaction pool or reaction pipeline: generally play the role of cuvette (tube).
4. Insulator: to provide a constant temperature for the chemical reaction.
5. Detector: such as colorimeter, spectrophotometer, fluorescence spectrophotometer, flame photometer, electrochemical measuring instrument, etc.. Different instruments are configured differently.
6. Microprocessor: is the computer part of the analyzer, also known as the program controller. Control all the actions and functions of the instrument, the user can "talk" with the instrument through the keyboard, while the computer can also receive feedback from the components to the signal, and make the corresponding response to the abnormal situation issued a certain indication signal. Analysis software and analysis results are generally stored in the disk, available for query.
7. The printer: can draw reaction dynamic curve and print the test report form, etc.

8. The function of the monitor: the display is one part, you can view the reaction status, human-machine "dialogue" situation, the current instrument work status, analysis results, etc..



The above biochemical analyzer composition is mainly for clinical large biochemical analyzer. The SD1 dry biochemistry analyzer is composed of a 7.0-inch touch screen, a reagent tray, a built-in printer, a cooling fan, a USB interface, a wired network interface, and a power supply.
Dry Chemistry Analyzers
Although SD1 dry chemistry analyzer also adopts the analytical principle and optical measurement technology of large desktop biochemistry. However, it requires no sample pre-treatment and no diluent addition. There are no liquid paths, pump valves and other wearing parts inside the instrument, so it does not need to be cleaned and basically requires no maintenance, which makes it very convenient to use and operate.
