The FURIX FHF-100 Fluorescence Immunoassay Analyzer is an advanced, user-friendly veterinary diagnostic tool designed to provide simple, rapid, and accurate quantitative analysis for a wide range of biomarkers in companion animals, primarily canines and felines. Leveraging time-resolved fluorescence immunoassay technology, it enables veterinarians to perform point-of-care testing with minimal training, delivering reliable results in just 3-15 minutes. This device stands out for its plug-and-test simplicity, eliminating complex setups while ensuring full traceability through QC availability and historical record support. It is engineered for durability and versatility, with a compact design that fits seamlessly into busy clinical environments, supporting multi-lingual operations and seamless integration with laboratory information systems (LIS).

Key Features and Specifications-

• Physical Design: Compact dimensions of 24 x 21 x 13 cm and lightweight at 3 kg, allowing easy portability and benchtop use without occupying excessive space.
• Optical System: Utilizes customizable excitation light at 365 nm and emission light at 610 nm for precise fluorescence detection, ensuring high sensitivity in immunoassay reactions.
• Operational Modes: Offers rapid mode for quick screenings and standard mode for detailed analyses, with automatic card ejection to streamline workflow and reduce manual handling.
• User Interface and Software: Features a multi-lingual display (Chinese/English, expandable), internal thermal printer for immediate result printouts, and data storage capacity for up to 50,000 entries, including history records for audit trails.
• Connectivity Options: Equipped with multiple interfaces including serial, USB, LAN, WIFI, and Bluetooth, enabling easy connection to LIS, external devices, or networks for data sharing and remote monitoring.
• Power and Battery: Powered by 120-240V AC at 50/60Hz for stable operation; includes an optional battery for use in field or mobile veterinary settings where power access is limited.
• Environmental Requirements: Operates optimally in temperatures of 10-30°C, humidity 15-80%, and air pressure 85-106 kPa; test cards and reagents have a 24-month expiry period when stored at 4-30°C, ensuring long-term reliability without refrigeration needs.
• Performance Metrics: Delivers exceptional accuracy with CV precision ≤1%, inter-batch difference ≤3%, and bias <5% (based on system standard test cards), making it a competitive choice for cost-efficient diagnostics.
• Sample Handling: Supports one-hole sampling for ease, compatible with 40 customizable sample types such as serum, plasma, whole blood, feces, or conjunctival secretions, with minimal volumes required (10-75 µL).
• Superiority Highlights: Plug-and-test functionality for immediate use; standard multiple test capabilities; built-in printer for on-site reporting; and robust interfaces for LIS integration, enhancing overall laboratory efficiency.

Functionality and Working Principle-

The FHF-100 operates on a straightforward four-step procedure, making it accessible even for non-specialists:

• Step 1: Load ID Card: Insert the identification card to initialize the test parameters and ensure traceability.
• Step 2: Add Sample: Pipette the required mixed sample volume (typically 10-75 µL) into the test card's sample well, using one-hole sampling for simplicity and reduced contamination risk.
• Step 3: Insert Card into Device: Manually insert the prepared test card into the three-dimensional card slot; the analyzer automatically detects and processes it via barcode scanning (Code 4 compatibility).
• Step 4: Read Results: The device performs the fluorescence immunoassay reaction, exciting fluorophores at 365 nm and measuring emission at 610 nm; results are displayed and printable in 3-15 minutes, depending on the test.

This workflow supports both qualitative and quantitative analysis, with full traceability through QC protocols and automatic data logging. The analyzer's single-channel design ensures focused, high-throughput testing without cross-contamination, ideal for busy vets needing quick insights into pet health.

Applications and Uses-

• Diagnostic Scope: Primarily used in veterinary laboratories, hospitals, and clinics for detecting a comprehensive array of markers, including inflammation indicators, hormones, pregnancy status, special renal/cardiac markers, infectious diseases, and immunological responses.
• Target Animals: Tailored for canines (dogs) and felines (cats), with species-specific tests like canine CRP or feline SAA.
• Benefits in Practice: Enables fast decision-making for conditions such as infections (e.g., parvovirus), endocrine disorders (e.g., thyroid issues), or cardiac health (e.g., NT-ProBNP), improving patient outcomes through timely interventions while being cost-effective with minimal reagent waste.
