FUJIFILM's DRI-CHEM is a dry chemistry analyzer that can perform various clinical chemistry test parameters. It has an integrated automatic pipetting system, requires no calibration*1 and uses no water, making it easy to operate and reducing maintenance. The DRI-CHEM NX500 provides results using a simple three-step procedure. With uncomplicated operation and high accuracy in the results, real-time clinical biochemistry without limitations becomes possible.
*1 Except for CRP
Fully Automated Procedure
1. Place the slide of the selected parameter. 2. Set the sample. 3. Press START.
No Parameter Input Required
It is not necessary to identify the parameter, the equipment automatically reads the barcode

Ease of operation with touch screen built into the equipment
Each test needs only 10μL of sample.
Manual pipetting can also be performed when a smaller sample is available.
Dilution, which in other technologies is a time-consuming process, is also automated at FUJI DRI-CHEM. Simply set the dilution ratio and press START. Dilution testing can also be performed simultaneously with regular testing and does not require separation of tests.
A magnetic card called a QC card adjusts the variability of the batch in the slide reagents. A QC card comes with all reagent boxes. The analyzer memorizes the batch adjustment information when a QC card is swiped. There is no need to pass QC on all measurements for the same batch of blades, it is mandatory once during the entire validity period
The NX500 analyzer can provide results for six calculated parameters. It provides calculated results based on the measured parameters.
(NA/K, BUN/CRE, GLOB, LDL, não-HDL, ALB/GLOB, ÂNION GAP, AST/ALT)
After measurement, the slides and pipettes will be automatically discarded in the disposal box, minimizing the risk of contamination
Wide variety of sample tubes with minimal pre-analytical sample handling, the Dri-chem can be adapted to a wide range of sample sizes
FUJI DRI-CHEM slide reagent has high reliability and stability backed by fine chemical technology cultivated during FUJIFILM's long history in the photographic film manufacturing industry.
A lower variation of results between operators, high reproducibility of results and daily accuracy, are some notable features.

Each slide comes with an ion-selective film electrode for each of na, k, and cl. The slides quantify the electrolytes in the sample by a sample interference filtering method and potentiometric reaction.
