Clinical & Diagnostic Instrument

In any clinic, hospital or care facility, diagnostics are an important tool that helps determine the root cause of a disease. However, this action requires certain implements that can facilitate the process. Clinical diagnostic instruments are used to detect markers of health and disease status.

Some of the key measurements that diagnostic analyzers are used for are:

• Metabolic (blood chemistry) markers such as glucose, urea, and potassium
• Liver function tests
• Indicators of heart disease and stroke
• Thyroid disease markers
• Various blood cell counts and blood cell size
• Viral and microbial infection such as HIV or H. pylori
• Immunological markers and antibodies
