Laboratory blood glucose analyzers allow patients to be monitored for conditions such as diabetes, hyperglycemia, or hypoglycemia in settings that require high volume, accuracy, or speed. Such settings include a hospital, sports clinic, or research laboratory. The American Diabetes Association recommends the hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) test for monitoring a patient’s blood glucose levels. It further recommends HbA1c as the preferred diagnostic test for diabetes mellitus.
A glucose analyzer consists of a recognition element that identifies the target molecules, a transducer element to measure the signal from the target molecule, and a processing system so the signal can be read. Transducer elements can be electrochemical, optical, thermometric, piezoelectric, and magnetic. The majority of transducers available today are electrochemical, due to their high sensitivity and reproducibility with relatively low cost. Additional considerations when choosing a blood glucose analyzer include the software the system uses, throughput, capacity, speed, and footprint.

| Description | The Biosen series of glucose analyzers includes two models, Biosen C-Line Clinic and Biosen C-Line GP+. They are a familiar brand name in laboratories, sports medicine, science, and diabetes clinics.
Biosen analyzers can be manufactured as single-channel glucose systems or as dual-channel systems The Biosen series of glucose analyzers includes two models, Biosen C-Line Clinic and Biosen C-Line GP+. They are a familiar brand name in laboratories, sports medicine, science, and diabetes clinics.
Biosen analyzers can be manufactured as single-channel glucose systems or as dual-channel systems that can measure lactate at the same time. The device uses a special chip sensor technology to to deliver fast measurements with high accuracy at a low cost per test. Due to the long life of the sensor chip, the system requires little maintenance, and features such as the color touch screen and large memory only add to the Biosen analyzer’s user-friendliness.
All Biosen analyzers are supplied with an RS252C, USB, and encrypted ethernet interface to connect to hospital or lab information systems (LIS) and middleware such as EKF Link. The Biosen C-Line Clinic comes standard with an integrated barcode reader, and printer connectivity via RS232C or by utilizing EKF Link and EKF Link Lite is possible with both models.
Biosen can test whole blood, plasma or serum to provide glucose and lactate values with excellent precision (less than 3% CV) over a wide measurement range.
Features: - Easy to use – healthcare and sport
- Results in 20-45 seconds
- Up to 120 results an hour
- Encrypted ethernet connection to EKF Link possible

The system is intended for multiple-patient use in professional healthcare settings as an aid in monitoring the The STAT-Site® WB analyzer is designed for the quantitative determination of ß-ketones (Beta-Hydroxybutyrate or ß-HB) and glucose in whole blood taken from capillary or venous samples.
The system is intended for multiple-patient use in professional healthcare settings as an aid in monitoring the effectiveness of diabetes management programmes and assessing patients at risk of ketosis or diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA).Diabetic patients with elevated ß-HB levels are at increased risk of developing DKA. During metabolic decompensation, ß-HB becomes the predominant ketone body, accounting for approximately 78% of circulating ketones. As ketosis develops, the body breaks down stored fats due to insufficient glucose supply, producing ß-HB which is subsequently converted into acetoacetate and acetone. Because ß-HB reflects changes in a patient’s metabolic condition both before and after treatment, it is considered a more clinically appropriate indicator than traditional nitroprusside urine tests, which do not directly measure ß-HB.
The STAT-Site® WB uses two dedicated test strips to deliver rapid results – ß-ketone results in just ten seconds and glucose results in five seconds. This enables clear and comprehensive assessment of diabetes patients showing early signs of ketosis or DKA, supporting prompt treatment decisions and ongoing patient monitoring.
