It
is commonly acknowledged that as much as 70% of the information
used by a clinician to make a diagnosis is information sourced
from the laboratory. The objective of evidence®
is to maximise the diagnostic information available for each patient
sample. Therefore empowering the clinician to follow the most
effective treatment plan.
Biochip
Array Technology from Randox is the latest technological innovation
in clinical chemistry analysis.
|
|
| evidence®
is a "walk away" fully automated main laboratory system.
This integrated
analyser performs simultaneous quantitative detection of a wide range
of protein analytes in a multi-analyte format. evidence®
performs multiple immunoassays on each patient sample.
The "new technology" is based on a novel concept to use a biochip
as a reaction platform, with multiple specific ligands (antibodies or
antigens) attached at pre-defined sites on the surface. The biggest advantage
of this technology is the specific and simultaneous profiling of biological
markers. The biochip hosts chemical recognition sites for the analysis
of multiple parameters.
After addition of a patient sample to the biochip, analytes present in
the sample bind the specific ligands. The degree of binding is determined
using a chemiluminesence light source and quantified using a Charge Coupled
Detector (CCD) camera and imaging system.
evidence® processes one patient sample per biochip. Other
automated systems use one cuvette per sample. evidence®
can produce up to a hundred test results per biochip unlike such systems
that report only one result per cuvette.
Unique features
include:
- A system
that has the capacity to perform a test output in excess of 3,600 tests
per hour (Based on twenty tests per chip)
- An imaging
system that can read up to 100 analytes simultaneously
- Biochip
technology, a 9mm2 solid substrate containing an array of discrete test
regions located on the surface of the biochip
Several different
immunoassay based multi-analyte panels have been developed for use on
evidence®. An
array is numerous different assays, located at pre-defined co-ordinates,
on a biochip surface. The array of tests currently available includes:
- Thyroid
Array
- Fertility
Array
- Tumour
Array
- Cytokines
and Growth Factor Array
- Drugs
of Abuse Array
- Allergen
Array
- Cardiac
Array
- Drug Residue
Array
- Test panels
in development (Please contact for further information)
 |
All
operational functions of evidence® are managed
and controlled by the dedicated Windows® based
system software. System sensors enable regular updates of onboard
inventory details, which are displayed on the user screen.
Due to the test results needs of laboratories varying, evidence®
software offers the option to report only the test results required
by the clinician.
|
It is feasible
to retrieve de-selected results at a later date, using the retrospective
test result facility.

| Disease
Diagnosis |
|
As one
of the world's leading manufacturers of clinical diagnostics, Randox
are committed to improving individual's health. The Randox product portfolio
has been developed with this in mind, creating disease specific test
panel/menus, which not only identify and monitor disease effectively
but also facilitate earlier diagnosis of some of the world's largest
killers.
In addition
to help diagnose illness evidence® is used as a method
for monitoring treatments for various conditions.
|
The areas, which are currently in the spotlight, are drugs of abuse, thyroids
and probably most importantly tumour markers, cytokines and allergy testing.
This new technology can and will be applied to the field of diabetes diagnosis
and monitoring of treatment. One biochip will have the capability of containing
all the tests recommended to assess the development and progression of
diabetes.
The use of in vitro diagnostics is becoming an increasingly important
market sector, while the use of genetic testing for diagnosis and prediction
of disease will feature heavily in the future. Randox Laboratories goal
is to continue investing in the development of new healthcare technology
solutions to improve disease diagnosis and patient care.
