Clinical Biochemistry Analyzer Your Health Condition Revealed by Your Blood
Identifying the Substance and Quantity by Change of Color
Clinical Biochemistry Analyzer Application Example
Studying pathology using blood, indispensable clinical test data for
modern medicine
The Clinical Biochemistry Analyzer is an instrument that uses the pale yellow supernatant
portion (serum) of centrifuged blood sample or a urine sample, and induces reactions
using reagents to measure various components, such as sugar, cholesterol, protein,
enzyme, etc. These tests are performed for routine health checks or at hospitals, and the
results provide objective data enabling early detection and diagnosis of disease, as well as
indicating the effects of treatment and patient prognosis.
In addition, due to the increasing costs of medical care, medical equipment is also
expected to be economically efficient. BioMajesty™ is the most economical instrument on
the market, using micro volume of samples and reagents to deliver highlyaccurate, high
speed processing through the incorporation of a sample dilution tray, which is an
outstanding unique feature of BioMajesty™ analyzers.
Furthermore, we have developed the Laboratory Information Systems as well as the
Laboratory Automation Systems, offering a total support to our customers and
streamlining the everyday laboratory activities.disc which is not available from other
makers. Moreover, our company has developed products for test information systems as
well as a total sample automatic transfer system to support all activities from drawing
blood to reporting; , allowing remarkable improvements in the speed and efficiency of
clinical testing work.
Your Health Condition Revealed by Your Blood
For example, to check kidney function, we measure and evaluate the concentration of
substances such as urea nitrogen and creatinine in blood. If more than a certain
concentration level is found in the blood, the doctor will probably tell you that “I'm a little
worried about your kidney function”. Urea is a final product that remains after protein, one
of the major nutrients inside the body, is metabolized,
This urea is filtered by the kidney and excreted as urine under ordinary circumstances.
However, if the kidney fails to work properly, the unfiltered urea remains in the blood, so
the urea nitrogen level in blood becomes high. On the other hand, creatinine is a break
down product (final metabolite) which is produced when muscles move, and this is also
absorbed and excreted by the kidney. Therefore, if significant quantities of these
substances exist in the blood, it can indicate the possibility that the function of the kidney
has declined. For a healthy adult the upper limit for creatinine is 1.2mg (1.2g/1,000) in
100ml (1dl) of blood serum. If more than this quantity is detected, the kidney function is
considered suspicious. This example is for the kidney. There are other indicators, such as
for hepatic function using transaminase (AST or GOT, ALT or GPT), cholesterol, and
bilirubin concentrations, and for diabetes using blood glucose (Glu) concentration and
diastatic hemoglobinA1C fraction percentage (indicated with %), and so on. The
concentrations of various substances in the blood can tell us a great deal about the clinical
state. Today’s medicine requires this kind of test data to make accurate diagnoses. This
area is called biochemical examination in clinical testing.
Identifying the Substance and Quantity by Change of Color
Colorimetric Analysis Method and the Measurement Principle
BioMajesty™ is an automatic analyzer for biochemical testing, and it can analyze more than
100 different components in blood. The measurement principle is as follows.
You may recall the iodinestarch reaction experiment from a school science class. When you
add iodine solution to a starch solution, the solution will turn blue instantly. The existence
of starch can be confirmed in this way. In addition, if saliva is added to the colored
solution, the color will disappear. This is because the starch is dissolved by the function of
an enzyme called amylase contained in saliva. An automatic biochemical analyzer utilizes
this kind of reaction, and converts the quantity of a specific substance in blood into an
amount of color change for measurement. The analysis method of measuring the amount of
color change is called the colorimetric analysis method. The origin of this method is quite
old, and the shading of colors was originally evaluated by the naked eye. It is a method
that has been used since the age of alchemy. The automatic biochemical analyzer has
automated the sequence of operation processes which used to be conducted by hand and
evaluated by eye (or using a spectrophotometer) in the past.
Techniques for the measurement process
Summary of equipment BioMajesty™
The figure above shows the outline of BioMajesty™
The samples for BioMajesty™ are the pale yellow liquid portion of blood called blood serum,
and urine. A certain precise volume of sample (normally 30 micro liters) is collected by
using a dilution pipette, and diluted by 5 times using a dilution disc. The measurable
sample is 150 micro liters (μl). From this dilution sample, a preciselymeasured amount of
2 to 25 microliters per test item is transferred to a reaction cell (1 eye drop in the rotating
reactor is about 40 microliters). The reaction cell already contains reagent transferred from
the reagent bottle in reagent turntable 1.
Reactions are induced in the samples in the reaction cells at a temperature of 37μ. If a
color reaction does not occur with one kind of reagent, it is possible to add a second or
third kind of reagent (reagent turn table 2). After allowing the reaction to proceed for a
certain time (normally 10 minutes), the color density is measured by using a colorimeter
(in the figure, “multiwavelength photometer”). The mechanism of the colorimeter is to
shine a light through the sample being measured, and then electrically detect the amount
of transmission. The measured data is indicated numerically using A/D converters
(analogue→digital converter), calculated by CPU, and the results are output.
BioMajesty™ offers high dispensing performance of sample and reagent, reduction of
residual water to the minimum, due to a cleaning mechanism for the outside of the
pipettes and measures to eliminate residualwater in the reaction cells, and acquisition of
good accuracy measurement data.
Clinical Biochemistry Analyzer Application Example
BioMajesty™is a clinical biochemical analyzer that contributes to clinical testing by
achieving ultrahighspeed processing with ultra small volumes of reaction fluid.
It has been used in small and mediumsized hospitals and test centers (nongovernmental
agency dedicated to analysis of patient samples), as well as large hospitals, such as
university hospitals, etc. The ultra small volume measurement function is expected to
contribute to the development of test items, such as for immunity, tumor markers, drugs,
infection markers, etc. as well as to the development of pharmaceutical products.

Multipurpose stage
In the CP, a shielding plate is mounted on the upper portion of the specimen, and then the portion protruding from the
shielding plate is irradiated with a Broad argon (Ar) Ion Beam (BIB). This procedure enables a cross section to be
prepared along the edge of the shielding plate. Compared with general mechanical polishing, the CP easily creates a
highly uniform cross section with no strain caused by milling. Thus, cross-section preparation can be made for various
specimens, such as composite materials and laminated materials. Patent: No. EP 1517355 B1, US 7722818 B2, JP 4557130 Patent related to rocking function
A larger specimen (40 mm diameter) can be milled. The specimen tilt angle is adjustable from 0°to 90°.

The standard specimen stage allows for the
use of a wealth of functions, from cross-

carbon coating.
Mount the edge of the shielding plate on the processing position, and then irradiate an Ar ion beam onto
the target position. The portion protruding from the specimen is etched by the Ar ion beam for enabling
the creation of a uniform cross section along the shielding plate edge. Long life shielding plate achieves 3 times higher
durability (approx. 8 h)*. This high-durability shielding plate is effective to process materials with low milling rate.
*In the case of 8 kV accelerating voltage and ion source with 500 μm/h milling speed

The use of the optional Large Specimen Rotation Holder (IB-11550LSRH) enables planar surface milling over a large area for specimens subjected to mechanical
polishing (beam irradiation angle is 0°to 90°). Beam irradiation at a low angle, with respect to the specimen surface, makes effective removal of scars caused by mechanical polishing, or
of crystalline strains on the surface. This leads to enhancement of the channeling contrast. On the other hand, the irradiation at a high angle, with respect to the specimen surface,
enables acquisition of the topographic information resulting from the difference of milling rate caused by the existence of crystalline grain boundaries or their internal crystalline structures.
The following example shows three backscattered electron images of a mechanically-polished copper plate, which is subsequently subjected to planar surface milling by changing
the irradiation angle of the Ar ion beam. The top two images show the result of low-angle milling (specimen tilt: 85°,ion beam irradiation angle: 5°,accelerating voltage: 4 kV, milling
time: 10 min). The bottom right image shows the result of high-angle milling (specimen tilt: 60°,ion beam irradiation angle: 30°,accelerating voltage: 4 kV, milling time: 3 min).

The use of ion beam sputtering enables carbon coating. A carbon-coated film with this capability has
high density, granularity and uniformity. Thus, this carbon coating suppresses charging and is effective for elemental
analysis and EBSD mapping of insulating materials.
This capability allows the coating of all of the specimens, to which cross-section milling, planar surface milling or cross-
section rotated milling, were applied by CP. In addition, specimens prepared by other techniques can be carbon-coated.

This mode automatically starts milling. Immediately after reaching the preset chamber pressure, milling (ion-beam
irradiation) starts automatically.
The intermittent milling mode can set the times for repeatedly turning the ion beam ON & OFF and control the beam dose per unit
of time for suppressing temperature rise of the specimen. Thus, this mode is effective for milling low-melting-point metals, rubbers
and polymers. In the following two images, a differently-milled rubber specimen is shown. The left image shows a specimen without
intermittent milling, exhibiting deformation of the rubber part resulting from heat due to continuous ion-beam irradiation. On the
other hand, the right image shows a specimen with intermittent milling, leading to a reduced deformation by thermal damage.

The figures below are EBSD patterns of a cross section of a milled silicon wafer.
In the milling only at high accelerating voltage, non-crystalline layers on the milled cross section become thick, thus
making the EBSD pattern unclear. But the use of the finishing mode enables thin non-crystalline layers to be prepared
in a short time, thus providing the clear EBSD pattern.

Data Processing for ESR Signal Analysis
The system is equipped with the tools required to obtain the information needed for ESR analysis
(g-factor, A value, spin, linewidth, etc.) from the acquired measurement data.
■ g-factor information
When a line is set on the ESR signal, the g-factor information can be extracted and a table of g-factors can be
generated. The g-factor table can be saved in text format and processed using spreadsheet software. Highly-precise
g-factors can be obtained by performing correction of the magnetic field using the Mn markers as a reference.
■ Spin calculation
The number of spins (radical concentration) can be calculated with the results presented in a list. The number of spins
is proportional to the doubly-integrated value (area) of the ESR signal. The number of spins for an unknown sample
can be determined by comparing the doubly-integrated value obtained for unknown samples with the value for a
standard sample, e.g. TEMPOL, with a known concentration. Sensitivity correction is applicable by doubly-integrating
Mn2+ signal as well.
5
■ Waveform Processing
Available processing includes arithmetic operations on the signal, conversion to exponential and logarithmic forms,
differentiation and integration, adjusting size and position for fitting signal, and baseline correction.
◦ Spectrum separation
If the conditions are matched, spectrum separation may be possible using subtraction.
◦ Background elimination
When there are known substances mixed into the sample, or when paramagnetic impurities are found in the sample tube,
the arithmetic functions can be used to eliminate the background signal from the impurities.
② Impurities

◦ BASELINE correction
Baseline correction can be performed by approximating the baseline components using a regression curve.

■ Various 2-Dimensional Displays
The display range can be set for signals and 2D data, and 2D data can be edited and created.
■ Peak information
By specifying an area on the ESR signal, it is possible to extract peak information (intensity, linewidth, intensity relative to
the Mn marker) and generate a peak table. The peak table can be saved in text format and processed using spreadsheet
software.
■ Other functions
◦ Partial signal zoom ◦ Batch conversion of multiple files into text format
The original spectrum data is a 64 K point binary format;
but, it is possible to compress the number of points and
convert the files into text format. All the data files contained
in a folder can be converted into text files at one time.

Simulation Assisting ESR Signal Analysis
■ Simulation software
Simulation of Isotropic and Anisotropic ESR signals is included in the standard configuration. In the simulation for an ESR
signal for which the radical types can be estimated, the waveform is calculated from the signal-specific information, such
as the splitting width, g-factor, and linewidth, in addition to the actual measurement conditions like resonance frequency,
center magnetic field and sweep width.
For the anisotropic simulation, the anisotropic parameters (g-factor anisotropy, A-value anisotropy, linewidth anisotropy)
are used to calculate the waveform. Axial symmetry as well as rhombic anisotropy can be handled.

Deposition
Ion-beam based deposition protects the specimen surface from damage due to FIB processing. The JIB-4000 comes with one
deposition unit and you can select a deposition material from carbon, tungsten and platinum. Up to two optional deposition units
can be installed. When changing a deposition material, the cartridge for a gas source is replaceable from the outside of a vacuum.
Automatic processing
The JIB-4000 enables you to set the processing procedure (recipe) for deposition, rough milling and final milling and also the
positions to be processed in advance, thus achieving continuous automatic processing of multiple positions. This function
increases the processing efficiency because all-night automatic processing is executed immediately before final processing, and
then, only the final processing is performed by the operator in the next morning.

The above SIM images show cross sections prepared by automatic processing. (tilt angle: 60°)
SIM images reveal that the oxide-film thickness of each position is almost the same, verifying successful processing with uniform thickness.
The JIB-4000 is also used as a specimen preparation system for TEM thin-film specimens, SEM specimens and specimens to be
analyzed by an EPMA or Auger instrument. To help smooth specimen transfer to a TEM or SEM instrument, various optional
attachments are available.

Unlike the electron beam, the penetration depth of the ion beam into a solid is very small, thus SIM images reveal the top-surface
state of the specimen. In cross-section observation, SIM image does not contain information on an internal structural object,
precisely offering the cross-sectional state.
