Diagnostic laboratories use coagulation analyzers to perform a number of tests that provide information about a patient's blood clotting status. According to the report from Coherent Market Insights, the global coagulation analyzers market that was valued at US$ 2,421.96 million in 2016 is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 9.7% over the period 2017-2025. The report notes that rising prevalence of heart diseases such as atrial fibrillation and blood disorders are driving the demand for coagulation analyzers. Let's take a look at the top coagulation analyzer models available today.
Siemens Sysmex CA-560
This compact, fully automated system features immunologic, coagulation, and chromogenic measurements in true random-access, allowing any sized lab to automate D-dimer testing. It offers the convenience of performing all coagulation assays on one analyzer. It has the smallest footprint in its class and is ideal for use as a backup instrument to larger instruments like the Sysmex CA-1500 and CA-7000 Systems, or as a primary instrument for smaller peripheral laboratories requiring a fully-automated analyzer.
