MISPA CHEM DX from Agappe Diagnostics

The Agappe auto dry biochemistry analyzer. Agappe has been in the forefront of Indian IVD segment, providing total solutions for entire in vitro diagnostic solutions including chemistry, nephelometry, immunology, hematology, coagulation, POC testing, pre-analytics, molecular biology etc. An auto dry biochemistry analyzer is a smart, compact and mobile laboratory instrument used in medical and clinical settings to perform biochemical analysis to measure various chemical parameters, such as enzymes, electrolytes, metabolites, proteins, and other substances present in blood, urine, or other body fluids. Way back in 2014, Agappe has brought paradigm shift in testing special proteins by introducing cartridge based Mispa i3 nephelometer to enable smaller labs also able to perform special proteins testing to avoid outsourcing to large labs. Now, Agappe is pleased to introduce rotor/cartridge-based biochemistry analyzer, Mispa ChemDx, for various customers ensuring high quality and affordability.

Mispa ChemDx is meant for on-site testing like physician clinics, fertility clinics, diabetes clinics, ICUs, emergency departments, wellness clinics and primary healthcare centres etc. With just 0.1cc of whole blood, serum, or plasma, an array of medical tests / profiles can be tested more quickly, accurately by Anyone, Anywhere and Anytime testing approach.

Principal advantages of the equipment are low sample consumption, easier to use, maintenance free, accurate results, disposable reagent disc etc. Again, the sample volume is only 100µl, testing time is less than 12 minutes/sample at temperature 37°C ± 0.3°C. Sample type is heparinized whole blood, serum, plasma and calibration is intelligent quality control/calibration. Testing method is end-point, kinetic, fixed time, turbidimetry, light source is 12V/20W, halogen tungsten lamp with life span over 2500 hours. The display is android 7.0 inch 800*480, multi-point capacitive touch screen and the machine has a storage capacity is 500,000 results.

Three sets of testing discs / rotors are available to support the diagnosis of various critical organ relevant diseases.

• General chemistry (19 measure plus 4 calculated) which can test Crea, UREA, UA, ALB, TP, GLU, TC, TG, HDL, ALP, GGT, TB, DB, CHE, TBA, ALT, AST, CK, AMY, GLOB, U/C, A/G & LDL;
• Liver profile (10 measured and two calculated) with tests like ALB, ALP, ALT, AMY, AST, CHE, GGT, TBA, TB, TP, GLOB & A/G; and
• Renal profile (10 renal and one calculated) for tests like K+, Na+, Cl-, Ca, PHOS, Mg, tCO2, UREA, Crea, UA, & U/C.

Reagent disc consists of lyophilized reagent beads, diluent, and calibration details are in the QR code. The reagent disc contains an intelligent internal quality control system, which continuously monitors the disc function to ensure reaction stability and optimal disc performance, internal quality control system is the engine that drives the Mispa Chem Dx accurately and precisely.

System works with pre-coated lyophilized reagents in a rotor disk, which are activated when the sample is applied, and the chemical reactions occur without the need of any other auxiliary reagents, and pipetting.

Mispa Chem DX can assist the operators in making medical decisions from a distance by using cloud computing. Real-time quality control, QR code, built-in centrifuge. After 12 minutes, the test results will be automatically printed. It works on Absorption Spectroscopy where change in absorbance is detected by an absorption spectrum and an algorithm is used to calculate the end concentration of the sample. The machine comes with affordable pricing and economic reagent discs for multiple tests on one go.

Thus, ChemDX is very useful for clinical practitioners at their local clinics where the physicians can do the testing in his room for immediate decision making and commencing proper treatment without losing any time. Chem Dx is also very useful in remote urban clinics where laboratories are not in proximity, and physicians can do the diagnostic tests and take timely decisions which will improve the overall patient treatment process / outcomes.
