Machinery Masters is a marketplace for new and used clinical chemistry analysers, the instruments that measure biochemical analytes in blood, serum, plasma, and urine to support diagnosis and patient monitoring. A clinical chemistry analyser quantifies enzymes, metabolites, proteins, and electrolytes across common profiles such as liver function tests, urea and electrolytes, lipids, and glucose, generating results that guide clinical decisions every day.

These instruments operate as regulated in vitro diagnostic devices within laboratory quality systems accredited to ISO 15189 or equivalent standards. Buyers include hospital core laboratory managers, point-of-care coordinators, and veterinary and research testing teams. Browse verified sellers to compare assay menu, throughput, reagent system, software version, condition, and price before you buy.

Shop Clinical Chemistry Analysers by Type

Clinical chemistry analysers are available in several configurations suited to different sample volumes, test menus, and levels of automation. Selecting the correct type keeps the assay menu, throughput, and reagent system matched to your workload and accreditation requirements. The main differences between configurations relate to whether testing is random-access or batch, the sample throughput, the detection methods supported, and whether the analyser is a compact benchtop unit or a floor-standing consolidated platform.

Random-Access Analysers

Random-access analysers run any requested test on any sample at any time, loading urgent and routine samples together without waiting for a batch. This flexibility, combined with STAT prioritisation, makes them the standard for hospital core laboratories where turnaround time is critical and the test mix changes constantly through the day.

Batch Analysers

Batch analysers process groups of samples through the same test together, which suits screening programmes and laboratories running defined panels at scheduled times. They offer an efficient, cost-effective route for predictable, high-repetition workloads where the same assays are run across many samples.

High-Throughput and Consolidated Chemistry Platforms

High-throughput floor-standing analysers, often integrated with immunoassay modules and sample-track automation, process very large sample volumes with minimal manual handling. They anchor total laboratory automation in large hospital labs, consolidating chemistry and immunoassay onto one line to cut turnaround time and labour cost per test.

Benchtop Clinical Chemistry Analysers

Benchtop analysers deliver a broad chemistry menu in a compact footprint for small and medium laboratories, clinics, satellite sites, and back-up capacity. They require minimal infrastructure and give smaller settings full biochemistry capability without the scale of a consolidated platform.

Electrolyte and ISE Analysers

Electrolyte analysers use ion-selective electrode technology to measure sodium, potassium, chloride, and related ions directly. Available as standalone units or as a module within a chemistry analyser, they deliver the rapid electrolyte results that acute and critical care rely on.

Point-of-Care Chemistry Analysers

Point-of-care chemistry analysers use dry-slide or cartridge methods to deliver key biochemistry results near the patient within minutes. They suit emergency departments, clinics, and primary care, where speed changes decisions while still requiring the calibration, quality control, and governance of laboratory testing.

Clinical Chemistry Analysers: Applications and Uses

Clinical chemistry analysers are deployed across hospital, near-patient, veterinary, and research settings wherever biochemical analytes must be measured to support diagnosis and monitoring. Requirements depend on sample volume, the range of assays needed, and the accreditation framework the laboratory works within.

Hospital Core Laboratory Biochemistry

Hospital core laboratories use random-access and high-throughput chemistry analysers to process large volumes of urgent and routine samples from wards and emergency departments. Broad assay menus, STAT capability, and connectivity to laboratory information systems are essential where results directly support inpatient and acute care.

Point-of-Care and Near-Patient Chemistry

Point-of-care chemistry analysers deliver biochemistry results within minutes in emergency medicine, clinics, and primary care. Compact size, ease of use, and reliable quality control matter most where testing happens away from the central laboratory but must meet the same governance standards.

Veterinary Clinical Chemistry

Veterinary hospitals and practices use clinical chemistry analysers with species-specific reference ranges to assess animal health. Compact benchtop analysers with flexible menus suit companion-animal and large-animal practice, while dedicated veterinary platforms serve higher-volume settings.

Reference and Specialist Testing

Reference and specialist laboratories run extended or less common biochemistry assays that general hospital labs refer on. These settings prioritise analytical performance, menu breadth, and validated methods over raw throughput, supporting complex diagnostic investigation.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does a clinical chemistry analyser measure?

A clinical chemistry analyser measures biochemical analytes in serum, plasma, and urine, including enzymes, metabolites, proteins, and electrolytes. It runs common profiles such as liver function tests, urea and electrolytes, lipid panels, glucose, and renal markers. Most analysers use photometric methods for these analytes and ion-selective electrodes for electrolytes, producing the quantitative results clinicians use to diagnose and monitor disease.

What is the difference between a random-access and a batch analyser?

A random-access analyser runs any test on any sample at any time, mixing urgent and routine work without waiting to fill a batch, which suits the constantly changing workload of a hospital core laboratory. A batch analyser processes many samples through the same test together, which is efficient for screening and defined panels. Random access favours flexibility and turnaround, while batch favours throughput on repetitive work.

What is an ISE or electrolyte analyser?

An ISE, or ion-selective electrode, analyser measures electrolytes such as sodium, potassium, and chloride by detecting specific ions directly, rather than through a colour reaction. It can be a standalone electrolyte analyser or a module built into a chemistry analyser. ISE measurement gives the fast, reliable electrolyte results that acute and critical care depend on, complementing the photometric tests used for other analytes.

What should I consider when buying a clinical chemistry analyser?

Match the assay menu and throughput to your workload, and decide between random-access and batch operation and between benchtop and consolidated platforms. Check the reagent system and whether it is open or closed, ISE capability, connectivity to your laboratory information system, and footprint. For a used analyser, confirm the software version, service history, and manufacturer support. Confirm the specification with the seller before you buy.

Can used clinical chemistry analysers be used for patient testing?

Yes, with appropriate verification and quality-system management. As a regulated in vitro diagnostic device, a used clinical chemistry analyser must pass performance verification, including precision, accuracy, linearity, and reference intervals, before patient testing, and the laboratory must document that verification with ongoing quality control and external quality assurance. Confirm regulatory status, software version, and service support with the seller before deploying it.

Where can I buy clinical chemistry analysers on Machinery Masters?

Browse Machinery Masters for new and used clinical chemistry and biochemistry analysers, electrolyte and ISE analysers, and point-of-care chemistry systems from verified sellers worldwide.
