Express Healthcare, June 2022: With an increase in the number and types of infections and diseases, the need for testing has become even more relevant. Changing lifestyles have led to a greater demand for evaluating parameters such as CRP, LDL, HDL, HbA1c, etc. This in turn is creating opportunities for diagnostic manufacturers to provide systems that are highly automated and integrated with the latest technologies.  

The focus of all laboratories is now on Turnaround Time (TAT). The last few decades have seen diagnostic manufacturers develop systems that are more efficient to provide results faster and reduce manual intervention. These instruments form a part of the different segments of which clinical chemistry holds a significant share because of the wide range of parameters it entails. In fact, clinical chemistry has grown from simple blood and urine analysis to today include a whole panel of tests for various clinical profiles.  

The Indian clinical chemistry market in 2021 was estimated at Rs. 2400 cr with reagents holding an 83% market share. When compared to 2020, there has been a 22% increase in value and a 25% increase in quantity.    

Transasia’s presence in the clinical chemistry segment Transasia has been at the forefront of endorsing the ‘Vocal for Local’ sentiment. Among the first in the country to introduce Made in India clinical chemistry analyzers, Transasia leads the segment with a wide array of fully and semi-automated analyzers and a large portfolio of reagents for routine and specialized chemistries. In fact, the various auto-analyzers are the largest selling in the country and are being successfully deployed in large and prestigious government institutes and chain labs. So far, Transasia has installed more than 50,000 units of Erba clinical chemistry analyzers across the country. 

Transasia regularly enhances the user experience of its instruments to meet the needs of the customers.  

New Erba XL 640 with autoloader and Conveyor Rack System for greater convenience The Erba XL 640, a Made in India, fully automated clinical chemistry analyzer has been a preferred choice for many high throughput labs across the country for its various features that offer seamless workflow. Transasia has now upgraded the analyzer by thoughtfully integrating a Conveyor Rack System (CRS).    

The conveyor rack system allows for a continuous flow analysis with automatic loading, mixing, and pipetting of samples and reagents. This helps establish more efficient workflows by relieving lab technicians from manual work, easing their burden, and enhancing user safety by reducing exposure to bio-hazardous materials. For labs that run round-the-clock, it allows for faster TAT and increases walk-away time. 

The other key features and benefits of the system include: 

  • The Make in India advantage: Erba XL 640 has been a result of Transasia’s four-decade experience of manufacturing in India to offer the user world-class quality with affordability.  
  • Highly accurate and precise results: Erba XL 640 is based on the principle of photometry. High-resolution, optically corrected diffraction grating 12 wavelengths between 340 nm - 750 nm ensures a high degree of accuracy for the entire clinical chemistry range. 
  • Low TAT: With a throughput of 400 tests/hr with photometry and 640 tests/ hr with ISE, Erba XL 640 is best suited for labs with a high workload. The ISE module allows the determination of sodium, potassium, chloride, and lithium ions in parallel with photometric measurements.   
  • Lower CPT: Erba XL 640 has been designed keeping in mind environmental safety. The use of permanent hard glass cuvettes eliminates the recurring cost of disposable cuvettes, avoiding plastic usage.    
  • Minimum downtime: Erba XL 640 is Integrated with the Internet of Things (IoT) a Cloud-based service that allows for faster resolution of any technical errors through remote monitoring, thereby reducing downtime. 
  • Smart performance: The tip of the probe is equipped with a Clot Detection sensor, that halts the sampling in case of a clot and performs probe wash. As a result, there is proper dispensing of the samples, and the sample probe is protected from being clogged.
