Bilirubin analyzer

Bilirubin analyzer is a medical device designed to detect bilirubin in serum or liver tissue. Bilirubin is a product of the decomposition of red blood cells in the blood after aging. Jaundice occurs when the liver's ability to process bilirubin decreases or bilirubin cannot be excreted normally from the bile ducts. The following is a detailed introduction to the bilirubin analyzer:

1. Working principle: The bilirubin analyzer measures bilirubin through a photoelectric sensor and chemical reaction. The sensor reacts bilirubin with a diazo compound to produce a red dye, and detects the intensity of the red dye through a photomultiplier tube to calculate the concentration of bilirubin.

2. Clinical application: Bilirubin analyzer is mainly used to diagnose liver diseases, such as jaundice, hepatitis, cirrhosis, etc. It can also assess the risk and severity of jaundice in newborns and monitor rejection after liver transplant surgery.

3. Advantages: Compared with traditional biochemical analysis methods, the bilirubin analyzer has higher sensitivity and accuracy and can complete the test in a short time. In addition, it can automatically record and process data to facilitate subsequent analysis and diagnosis by doctors.

4. Precautions: Before using the bilirubin analyzer, make sure the patient has fasted for 8-12 hours and is not using certain drugs, such as aspirin, vitamin K, etc. In addition, in order to obtain accurate test results, patients need to keep their physical condition stable and avoid strenuous exercise or mood swings.

In conclusion, the bilirubin analyzer is an important medical device used to detect liver disease and assess the risk of jaundice, and is of great significance to both doctors and patients.
