Axis-Shield's Afinion state of the art AS100 Analyzer is designed to enable quick and easy on-the-spot testing, regardless of the sample type, which may be whole blood, plasma or urine, and to deliver accurate results during patient consultation for improved patient management.

The Afinion Point-of-Care Analyzer now has a new dedicated website. For further information about the Analyzer visit www.afinion.net, our website specially dedicated to Afinion, and which includes a demonstration video.

The Analyzer and test cartridges have been precision engineered by external organisations according to Axis-Shield designs and specifications, with each test cartridge containing an integrated sample collection device and all necessary reagents for one single analysis.

Currently the following tests are available: HbA1c for monitoring of diabetic control and increasingly disease diagnosis, Albumin/Creatinine Ratio (ACR) urine test for assessing degree of diabetic renal complications and C-Reactive Protein (CRP) test for differentiation between bacterial and viral infections and whether antibiotic treatment is merited. A lipid panel for cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk assessment is close to launch and this will be followed by a high sensitivity CRP (hsCRP) test for CVD risk.

Multiassay Analyzer

The Afinion Analyzer is a concept comprising an instrument specially designed to measure various chemistries, and consequently a very wide range of potential tests. The reagent cartridge and the instrument are designed as closed units.

A unique fail-safe system supervises and logs every step during processing and measurement. This ensures that a result will never be displayed if an error occurs during sample handling or measurement.
