The basis for the Reflotron^® Clinical Analyzer is a dry chemistry test system that uses single reagent strips requiring no special preparation. Small samples of whole blood, plasma, serum or urine are applied directly to the reagent strips. The test strip is inserted into the analyzer and results are displayed in 3 minutes or less.

Each test strip has a cellular retention device that forms a barrier to cells reaching the reagent pad. The sample's fluid phase migrates onto the reagent pad where the relevant color reactions take place. The instrument measures reflectance from the reagent test pad and calculates the concentration of analyte being measured.

Whole blood, plasma, serum, or in some cases, urine may be used. Small sample volume.

Rapid and reliable results.

Simplicity of procedure using the pre-calibrated, fixed-volume delivery pipette minimizes operator training and the possibility for technical error.

Self-contained, dry chemistry reagents strips require no pre-test preparation. Minimal system maintenance consists of running a CHEK strip once per week to monitor performance of optical system.

Provides in-clinic, real-time chemistry results to support rapid medical management decisions.

Particularly economical for monitoring patient progress once a diagnosis is established.

Simple, in-clinic, real-time blood chemistry tests are useful for real-time confirmation of differential diagnoses and medical management decision making. Once a diagnosis is known, monitoring of one to several selected chemistry analytes becomes even more efficient and economical compared with comprehensive profiles. Analytes in the reagent test strip menu, arranged by general application, are given below:
