Stress-free testing from setup to confirmation of results

Simple operation: Just set the sample, reagents and consumables into the analyzer.

Just set the sample, reagents and consumables. Test parameters requiring dilution are automatically identified after reagent cartridge set and dilution is performed. Press the start button to start the measurement which takes about 10 minutes.

[Photo] Measurement procedures are very simple and only 2 steps.

[Image] No dispensing or stirring of reagents nor incubation required.

[Image] Measurement time is approximately 10min.

High sensitivity and short measurement time are achieved with proprietary technology.

Downsizing and shorter measurement time achieved by the SPF method*²

[Image] Measurement principle of cartridge for AU20V. For example SAA cartridge have reaction cup 1 which is set for extraction process by surfactant and reaction cup 2 which is set for reaction by specific antibody labeled fluorescent particles.

Measurement principle of vf-SAA

The sample is dispensed into Reaction cup 1, where it is mixed with surfactant. The mixture from Reaction cup 1 is dispensed into Reaction cup 2, where the fluorescent particle-labeled anti-SAA antibodies react with SAA in the sample. The amount of SAA binding to the fluorescent particle-labeled antibodies increases in proportion to the concentration of SAA in the reaction solution.
The reaction solution is dispensed into the immunoreaction channel. Anti-SAA antibody are immobilized on thin gold film placed in the flow channel, and SAA particles are captured by the anti-SAA antibody on the film in proportion to the amount of fluorescent particle-labeled antibody-SAA complex. Laser light is irradiated, and the fluorescent signal obtained by the SPF method is measured and converted to SAA concentration to obtain measurement results.

In immunoassays using antigen-antibody reaction, it is possible to measure even minute molecular markers in a sample. It is important, however, to suppress the influence of substances other than the target antigen. In this system, the target antigen labeled with fluorescent particles is captured on a gold film in the reagent cartridge. Laser light is irradiated from beneath the film, causing only the captured fluorescent particles to emit light, thereby eliminating the need for a cleaning process (B/F separation*³). Thanks to the SPF technology, downsizing and shorter time for the immunoassay have been achieved.

Objective assessment of inflammation and patient condition using SAA measurement

An example of changes in SAA in cat with visceral mastocytoma

SAA (serum amyloid A)

“Use in monitoring”
Feline SAA is used to aid in the diagnosis of various diseases and to evaluate treatment effectiveness. It is important to measure SAA levels at the initial consultation and at the start of treatment, and then monitor any changes thereafter in order to utilize this information in clinical practice.

* In a case of a cat with low SAA (below the lower limit of the measurement range) before treatment, high SAA was observed during chemotherapy, indicating the possibility of infection due to myelosuppression. Quote: From the late Dr. Takashi Tamamoto

All test parameters can be measured in serum and plasma

*4 Serum COR measurement can be performed with or without dilution.

No need to prepare reagents

All reagents and materials are already prepared inside the cartridge.

Automated calibration for reagents using attached QR code

All calibrations and measurements are conducted automatically based on the QR code*⁵ attached to the bottom of the cartridge, which eliminates the need for lot calibration.
