B-Analyst – μTAS Single Drop Analyzer

Biochips based on semiconductor and manufacturing expertise

ROHM biochips utilize a combination of microfluidics, microfabrication, design, and optical technologies. Microchannels allow chemical reactions to occur in an extremely small space via reagents.

Next, sensing technology enables accurate detection of target biomarkers using a trace amount of blood. Biochips such as these are expected to play a major role in health care and medical testing in the future.

B-Analyst realizes rapid and high accuracy measurement with only a drop of blood by utilizing μTAS and liquid reagents.

Simple Operation
B-analyst performs measurement from plasma separation to data output with a drop of blood in 7min 30sec. The measurement is completed by following steps

High Accuracy
High correlation to reference methods.
Reliable measurement result can be provided.

Easy Maintenance
Cleaning and washing are not required.
Calibration curve data corrected via 2D barcode.
