SD1 Auto Dry Chemistry Analyzer

SD1 Chemistry Analyzer

SD1 is a fully automatic dry chemistry analyzer developed and manufactured by Seamaty, which can test electrolytes and routine biochemical items such as liver, kidney, cardiac, glycolipid, and pancreas. The SD1 is an intelligent, portable, easy to operate, highly automated, small sample size, accurate and maintenance-free instrument for medical and health diagnostics.

BS-480 Versatile mid to high volume chemistry analyzer

The BS-480 chemistry analyzer is a versatile mid to high volume chemistry platform with a traditional software design and easy-to-navigate interface; creating a positive user experience in today's fast-paced laboratory environment. A wide selection of test menus including general chemistry and electrolytes to meet the needs of most clinical laboratories and hospitals, making it one of the most advanced and uniquely designed diagnostic tools available for today's fast-paced, medium to high volume laboratories.

Advantages and disadvantages of the two biochemistry analyzers.

The SD1 is an instant-test portable biochemistry analyzer that can be tested anywhere, at any time, and can be installed in hospitals, clinics, laboratories, ambulances, and at the patient's bedside.

It contains the following features.

1. Multi-purpose: it can test liver function, kidney function, cardiac muscle, glycolipid, electrolytes and other items
2. easy to operate: only three steps to complete the testing process, put the sample, put the reagent tray, read the report; non-professional test physicians can also operate this instrument.
3. Small volume of blood collection: the sample volume is only 100μL, and multiple items can be tested in the tray
4. small and portable: small size, instrument size is only 200mm * 252mm * 299mm, weight is only 4.6Kg, small footprint, can be tested at the patient's bedside.
5. less consumables: lyophilized reagents, valid for up to one year; advanced microfluidic technology to avoid cross-contamination; fully automated operation, no sample centrifugation and manual addition of diluent

6. Lifetime maintenance: the key parts are imported, no internal liquid circuit, pump valve and other wearing parts; two-year warranty and lifetime maintenance.

However, SD1 is a single-channel biochemical analyzer, which can only measure one patient at a time.

BS-480 is a multi-functional medium-high biochemical analyzer, which is usually found in fixed places such as laboratory departments and laboratories where the number of test samples is high.

It has the following features.

1. Enhanced Liquid System
2. Economy Usage
3. Easy to perform maintenance
4. Intelligent Probe System
5. User-friendly Interface
6. Real-time QC Status Monitoring
7. Traceable Test Results
8. Reflex Function
9. Test Summary

However, the BS-480 also has problems such as the use of more consumables (cleaning solution, calibration products, outreach water machine), troublesome operation (manual calibration, regular maintenance, and the need for professional inspectors to operate), and high testing costs (more consumables are used, and some of them have a short shelf life).
