WorldWide Clinical Chemistry Test Products Market

Definition

Clinical chemistry testing is defined as photometric or electrolyte testing conducted on an automated platform for diagnostics purposes. Clinical chemistry systems, typically considered the workhorse of the clinical laboratory, range significantly in size, throughput, and cost, but carry a fairly homogenous test menu due to the maturity of the aforementioned technologies. Many clinical chemistry platforms are also capable of performing homogeneous immunoassay testing, integrating with Laboratory Automation, and/or integrating with a heterogeneous immunoassay module to form a Work Cell.

End-User Segments

A vast majority of clinical chemistry testing is performed in the hospital laboratory setting, where a broad range of systems operate as stand-alone instruments, integrated with laboratory automation, or as part of a Work Cell. Clinical chemistry testing is also performed in an ambulatory setting, particularly in the POL.

Market Participants

The leading worldwide manufacturers of clinical chemistry systems include, but are not limited to:

  • Abbott (ARCHITECT® c8000)
  • Bayer (ADVIA® 1200, ADVIA® 1650, and ADVIA® 2400)
  • Beckman Coulter (UniCel® DxC 600 and UniCel® DxC 800)
  • Dade Behring (Dimension™ RxL, Dimension™ Xpand, and Dimension™ Vista)
  • Olympus (AU®640e, AU®2700, and AU®5400)
  • Ortho-Clinical Diagnostics (VITROS® 5,1 FS and VITROS® 350)
  • Roche (INTEGRA® 400, INTEGRA® 800, Hitachi models, and cobas® 6000).

Note:  while several of the above systems are classified as Work Cells, BBC calculates the clinical chemistry revenue of such systems independently from the immunoassay revenue.
