The target of development is to extend te range of parameters for the mobile photometer. We are concentrating on the following: immediate availability of measurement values, easy testing and long life for test packages. Older photometers can be upgraded to the current program version without problems.

This year the following tests from capillary blood were added to the range of parameters by the use of a mobile minicentrifuge, which can also be fitted into the carrier case: lipid status, with measurement of cholesterol, triglycerides and the LDL/HDL cholesterol quotient as well as urea, protein and neonatal bilirubin.

The advantage of the photometric measurement technique is that the analysis techniques that we have developed are based on proven laboratory methods. This means that the results from the laboratory method and our POCT method are closely correlated. As early as the development phase we participated in the ring tests conducted by the DGKC (German Association for Clinical Chemistry) and Instand (Institute for Standardisation and Measurement Technology) to ensure that the analysis procedure is correct.

In the last year (2007) we advanced the Homocystein Photometer and the CK Photometer. Furthermore we developed the Biodiesel Photometer and a photometer exclusively designed for veterinary medicine.
