Hitachi Clinical Analyzer

Hitachi Clinical Analyzer is a compact automatic analyzer designed for POCT use. It can be easily operated by anyone. Its special reagents cover 22 major test parameters including HbA1c and LDL-C.
It takes only 30 minutes from the blood draw to report test results.
The clinical analyzer can be used not only for daily or emergency use, but also for night or holiday use. It may be used as a dedicated instrument for one test parameter, or as a backup instrument for larger analyzers.

Allergy Diagnostic Kit

This product measures the levels of allergen-specific IgE antibodies in human serum, which helps physicians identify the allergens responsible for the patients’ symptoms.
Including seven new allergens, 33 major allergens can be measured with a single serum sample by this product.

Tear Total IgE Detection Kit

This product is the first measurement kit of total IgE in tear fluid using an immunochromatography method in Japan. The test provides results easily and rapidly. It doesn’t require any special detection device and results can be obtained in ten minutes from collection of patients’ tear fluid. The kit is useful as a POCT because it can be conducted at medical facilities without a dedicated clinical laboratory space, and the results are provided to the patients in a single visit.

In-Vitro Diagnostic Kit for Anti-Chlamydia Trachomatis IgA, IgG and IgM Antibodies

This product is a test kit for the diagnosis of C. trachomatis infection, a sexually transmitted disease. Because the levels of anti-C. trachomatis IgA, IgG and IgM antibodies in serum are measured by ELISA method, the test provides objective results using an easy procedure.
Moreover, since the kit uses highly purified outer membrane complex protein of C. trachomatis, it has high specificity.

In-Vitro Diagnostic Kit for Anti-Chlamydia Pneumoniae IgA, IgG and IgM Antibodies

This product is a test kit for the diagnosis of C. pneumoniae infection, which causes respiratory diseases such as pneumonia and acute upper respiratory tract infection, etc.
Because the levels of anti-C. pneumoniae IgA, IgG and IgM antibodies in serum are measured by ELISA method, the test provides objective results using an easy procedure.
Moreover, since the kit uses highly purified outer membrane complex protein of C. pneumoniae, it has high specificity.

Rapid Onsite Toxicity Audit System is a rapid portable toxicity test based on naturally occurring bioluminescent bacteria (Vibrio fischeri). These bacteria emit visible light when in a state of metabolic health. Light emission is directly linked to the production of ATP, so the relative level of bioluminescence reflects the metabolic health of the cell; or the total toxicity of the sample which has been exposed to the bacteria. Unlike any other rapid, field-based toxicity test, Rapid Onsite Toxicity Audit System has been specifically developed and validated for the testing of solid matrices, including soil, sludge, sediments and waste.
The principle of using bioluminescent bacteria for the toxicity testing of soil and water samples has been used for over 30 years. There are over 500 papers published on the technique and the test has been used to detect over 1,300 different known environmental contaminants and toxins in soil, sludge, sediments, composts, waste material, wastewater, potable waters, leachate and groundwater samples.
Rapid Onsite Toxicity Audit System comprises: hardware (portable luminometer and accessories; Figure 1a); kits of consumables to process batches of samples (Figure 1b); and software to drive the assay procedure, and analyse and report the results (Figure 1c).
