For lab managers
Chemistry testing without the automation headaches
4.86 kg = truly portable
Built-in incubator = no external incubator needed
8 wavelengths = comprehensive test menu
Built-in timer = accurate reagent preperation
Incredibly small footprint fits anywhere
At just 50cm wide by 15cm high by 33cm deep, the BioChem SA takes up less bench space than most computers. Weighs under 5 kg. Move it between rooms. Take it to outreach sites. Store it when not needed.
Storage for 10,000 results
No dependency on unreliable network connections or external computers for patient data. Results stay accessible even when other systems fail. Built-in thermal printer means immediate hard copies.
Built for the realities of small laboratories
No external computer needed. No complex installation. No specialized IT infrastructure. Just plug in, run through the 10-minute warmup, and you're testing. The 7" color touchscreen guides operators through every step.
8 wavelengths cover your essential test menu
Most semi-automated analyzers limit you to 1-2 wavelengths. The BioChem SA gives you 8 (340, 405, 492, 510, 546, 578, 630 nm), covering glucose, liver enzymes, kidney function, lipids, and more. One analyzer handles your entire basic chemistry menu.
Built-in incubator eliminates external equipment
Ten-well incubator at 37°C sits right in the analyzer. No separate incubator taking up additional bench space. No worrying about temperature accuracy. Reactions happen where they should, when they should.
80 user-defined profiles let you customize for your needs
Program your specific test protocols once, then run them consistently every time. Different operators can have their own profiles. Perfect for clinics where staff rotate or training levels vary.
Backup analyzer that actually backs you up
When your main chemistry analyzer goes down for maintenance or breaks unexpectedly, the BioChem SA keeps essential testing online. Small enough to store when not in use, capable enough to handle critical samples when needed.
Works with the samples you have
Immediate hard copy results for patient charts and records. No external equipment required. Print results on the spot, hand them to patients or file them immediately. Essential when working in settings without computers or electronic records.
Quality control that makes sense for small volume
Stores QC results for up to 10,000 runs. Levy-Jennings charts track performance over time. Even with just a few patients per day, you maintain the documentation needed for accreditation and quality programs.
Multiple calibration options match your workflow
Factor calibration for simple tests. One-point linear for routine chemistry. Multi-point linear for assays that need it. You're not locked into a single calibration method - use what works for each test.
For distributors
The analyzer that opens markets others can't reach
The most successful distributors in emerging markets build sustainable businesses through high-touch relationships rather than transactional sales. By partnering with HTI, these distributors get comprehensive training, marketing support, and direct access to manufacturing leadership, helping them grow into market leaders.
Reach clinics that can't afford automation
Thousands of small clinics need chemistry testing but can't justify automated systems. The BioChem SA opens an entire market segment others ignore - facilities with 5-10 patients per day that still need liver panels, kidney function, and glucose monitoring.
Backup market is huge
Every laboratory with an automated chemistry analyzer needs a backup plan. The BioChem SA gives them reliable backup capacity at a price that makes sense - not another $30,000 automated system sitting idle 90% of the time.
Portability creates opportunity
At under 5 kg, the BioChem SA works for mobile health programs and outreach clinics. Your customers can take chemistry testing to remote communities instead of asking patients to travel hours for basic lab work.
Simple operation means lower support burden
No complex installation. No IT infrastructure requirements. No elaborate calibration procedures. When customers call with questions, solutions are straightforward. Most issues resolve through the touchscreen interface without service visits.
Multiple languages built in
English, Spanish, Russian, Ukrainian, and intuitive visual queues. Your customers can operate in the language their staff actually speaks. No struggling with manuals translated poorly or interfaces that only work in English.
Low capital investment, recurring revenue
Tests still need reagents. QC materials need replenishment. Even low-volume facilities order regularly. The BioChem SA creates steady revenue streams without massive equipment capital requirements.
Training is actually simple
The touchscreen interface is intuitive enough that training happens in hours, not days. Your customers get productive quickly, and you move on to the next sale instead of babysitting installations.
Backed by HTI's regional support
Direct access to technical leadership in your time zone and language. We understand that small clinics often have the least technical expertise - making support even more critical.
Real-world applications where BioChem SA solves problems
Small community clinics processing 5-10 chemistry panels daily
Where full automation can't be justified economically but manual methods are too time-consuming and error-prone. The BioChem SA brings semi-automation to facilities that need better than manual but can't afford full automation.
Backup capacity for district hospitals
When main chemistry analyzers go down for maintenance or repair, the BioChem SA keeps essential testing online. Process urgent glucose, creatinine, liver enzymes without sending samples to distant reference labs or delaying critical diagnoses.
Rural health posts in regions with limited infrastructure
Portable design and minimal power requirements (120VA) work in facilities where electricity is inconsistent. Built-in incubator and printer mean no external equipment competing for power or space.
Laboratories transitioning from manual methods
Facilities ready to move beyond completely manual chemistry but not ready for full automation. The BioChem SA provides a middle ground - better than manual, more affordable than automation.
Mobile health programs serving remote populations
At 4.86 kg, the BioChem SA travels to patients instead of forcing them to travel to distant laboratories. Bring chemistry testing to communities that otherwise go without basic metabolic monitoring.
Veterinary clinics needing occasional chemistry panels
Animal hospitals that don't process enough chemistry samples to justify veterinary-specific analyzers. The BioChem SA handles occasional metabolic panels for dogs, cats, and other animals at fraction of the cost.
How BioChem SA compares with alternatives
Versus fully automated chemistry analyzers
While systems like the Beckman AU480 or Roche Cobas c111 offer complete automation, they require infrastructure, maintenance, and capital investment that small facilities can't justify. The BioChem SA gives you reliable photometric measurement without the complexity or cost of automation.

Depends on method
Versus single-wavelength photometers
Basic photometers offer portability but limit you to one wavelength, requiring multiple devices or the inability to run comprehensive chemistry panels. The BioChem SA's 8 wavelengths cover your entire basic chemistry menu in one device.
Versus manual colorimetry
Manual methods are cheap but time-consuming, operator-dependent, and prone to error. The BioChem SA automates the measurement while keeping sample handling under your control - the best of both approaches.
Fair chemistry analyzer pricing for small facilities
The BioChem SA is priced for facilities where every dollar counts. We understand that small clinics can't make the same capital investments as district hospitals, but they still need reliable chemistry testing for their patients.
Equipment cost is just part of the picture. The BioChem SA's minimal power consumption (120VA), no external equipment requirements, and simple maintenance keep operating costs low over the analyzer's lifetime.
