Global Ion-Selective Clinical Lab Analyzers Market Drivers
Leading manufacturers in the global ion-selective clinical lab analyzers market are focused on the development of products. For instance, Erba Mannheim launched EC90, a new electrolyte analyzer in February 2020 at the MEDLAB Middle East trade fair. The EC90 analyzer contains maintenance free electrode, cleaning of the pack is not required, and waste is self-contained. Moreover, it can analyze samples in 35 seconds.
In 2017, Beckman Coulter Diagnostics, announced the U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA) approval and commercial launch of its new DxC 700 AU chemistry analyzer in the U.S. The analyzer has combined features of two Beckman Coulter products; DxC analyzer and AU analyzer. Moreover, the system also uses concentrated reagents, ISEs which are long lasting, and non-disposable cuvettes. Horiba, Ltd received premarket notification for marketing Yumizen C1200, in 2019. Yumizen C1200 is an automatic chemical analyzer that measures analytes in samples, in combination with reagents, calibrators, quality control (QC) material and other accessories. It consists of glucose HK, sodium electrode, potassium electrode, and chloride electrode. The device is useful in the diagnosis of levels of sodium, potassium and chloride in blood and urine samples.
Other advantages of using ion selective electrodes over other methods are that they can be used for a sample size of 0.1 to 10,000 ppm. Moreover, they are shock-proof and chemical-resistant, upon calibration, and one can monitor concentration continuously and analyze the sample within 1 to 2 minutes. The above factors are expected to drive the global ion selective clinical lab analyzers market growth over the forecast period.
Global Ion-Selective Clinical Lab Analyzers Market Restraints
Manufacturers are focused on modifying conventional ISE in order to reduce the drawbacks of the technique which include the selective membrane used in the ISE, which can allow the entry of more than one type of ion at a time, and the electrodes have to be replaced periodically. Moreover, ISE calculates ions when they move across the membrane. In case of dilute solution the number of ions near the membrane would be less than the ions present in the bulk solution. Therefore, the membrane potential recorded may get altered in both the cases.
