Possible applications

In developing countries (especially in non-urban areas), clinical testing by manual or semi-automatic is still widely performed so that the quality of test tends to be unstable. And even if it is performed by fully automatic, test quality depends heavily on the quality of the analyser. BIOLIS 30i is compact, high quality and easy operation. And it is the most suitable system for those who intend to switch from manual or semi-automatic to fully automatic testing.

We have received feedback from many end-users that the system has been working for more than 10 years with almost no failures and accurate data has been obtained stably.

Competitive advantage

Technical Advantages:
(1) Contamination avoidance design
– Air pressure mixing for sample and reagent prevents the carry over caused by a stirrer
– Three individual probes for Sample, R1 and R2 prevent the cross-contamination caused by probes

(2) Convenient feature for HbA1c test
– Automatic hemolysis for whole blood sample or red blood cell
– HbA1c (from red blood cell) and GLU (from plasma) results can be obtained simultaneously from one patient sample

(3) Sample clot (fibrin) detection

Cost Advantages:
(1) Less water consumption (Max. 3.8 L/h)

(2) Semi-disposable (reusable) cuvettes (rough lifespan: 6 months)

Export of product
We will appoint a distributor in each country and supply products and necessary supports to them from Japan. We will invite engineer(s) to Tokyo for the technical training. After completing the training, they can set up and maintain the analyser by themselves.
