 The Afinion’s large, colour touch-screen, fast analysis and range of testing options makes for a convenient and essential tool for doctor’s practices, hospitals, specialist rooms and all diabetes management programs.
The Afinion analyser offers next generation point of care testing of multiple analytes on the one monitor. This exceptionally easy to use instrument tests glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c), albumin / creatinine ratio (ACR), and C-Reactive Protein (CRP).
Key Features
- Multiple analytes on one instrument – HbA1c, ACR and CRP
- Very easy to use
- Short assay times e.g 3 minutes for HbA1c
- Tiny sample size
- All-in-one Reagent Cartridge
- Large colour touch-screen
- Long shelf life of reagents at room temperature
- Integrated error detection system prevents erroneous results from being displayed
- No service requirements
- Simple flash-drive upgrade as new updates become available
Multiple Assay Analyzer
The Afinion Analyzer System is a concept comprising an instrument specially designed to measure various chemistries, and consequently a very wide range of tests. The reagent cartridge and the instrument are designed as closed units.
A unique failsafe system supervises and logs every step during processing and measurement. This ensures that a result will never be displayed if an error occurs during sample handling or measurement.

- Weight: 11 lbs. (5 kg )
- Storage capacity: 500 patient results + 500 control results
- Colour touch display in local language
- Test Cartridge with integrated Sampling Device
- Bar coded label with test specific information
- Whole blood, plasma or urine-samples can be used
- No end-user calibration of Analyzer or tests required
- Power supply: AC/DC adapter
- Interface: RS232 and USB port
- Accessories: Barcode reader and printer

The Afinion ACR provides a simple, fast and reliable point of care test for determination of albumin, creatinine and albumin/creatinine ratio (ACR) in human urine, which can indicate microalbuminuria. Microalbuminuria is the first clinical sign of diabetic renal disease and cardiovascular disease. Simple testing for microalbuminuria is extremely efficient as an early indicator of renal failure.
- 3 tests in one cartridge: albumin, creatinine and ACR
- Assay time: 5:30 minutes
- Sample volume: 3.5 µL
- Sample material: human urine
- Measuring Range:
- Albumin: 5.0 – 200.0 mg/L
- Creatinine: 16.4 – 339.9 mg/dL
(1.5 - 30.0 mmol/L)
- ACR: 1.0 – 1225.0 mg/g
(0.1 – 140.0 mg/mmol )
- Good correlation to laboratory methods and PoC method
- Total imprecision: CV < 10%
- Kit size: 15 tests. Separately packed cartridges
- Afinion ACR Controls: 2 levels, ready to use
The ACR Test Cartridge contains all reagents necessary for measurement of albumin and creatinine in human urine. |

The Afinion CRP test is an important point of care assay to indicate bacterial or viral cause of infection. With a total assay time of only 4 minutes, the CRP test result can support the clinical diagnosis of an inflammation. Unnecessary use of antibiotics can be avoided if the CRP result points to a viral or self-limiting bacterial infection.
- Sample volume: 1.5 µL
- Assay time: 4 minutes
- Sample material: Capillary blood, serum or anticoagulated venous blood (EDTA or heparin)
- Measuring Range: 5 - 200 mg/L (whole blood), 5 - 160 mg/L (serum and plasma)
- Excellent correlation to laboratory methods
- Total imprecision: Whole blood < 6% CV, serum < 5% CV
- Automatic measurement and correction for hematocrit
- Kit size: 15 tests. Separately packed cartridges
- Afinion CRP Controls: 2 levels, ready to use
The CRP Test Cartridge contains all reagents necessary for measurement of CRP in whole blood, serum or plasma.
The Afinion CRP test is not available in the US,

Afinion™ Lipid Panel
- Test for the quantitative determination of
- Total Cholesterol (Chol)
- High-Density Lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL)
- Low-Density Lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL)
- Triglycerides (Trig)
- non-HDL and Chol/HDL ratio
in whole blood, serum and plasma, used in the diagnosis and treatment of lipid disorders.
• simple • fast • reliable
- Specially designed sampling device ensures easy and safe sample collection
- Barcode includes calibration and lot specific data - no user calibration necessary
- Fully enclosed testing environment increases user safety
It is recommended by NCEP (National Cholesterol Education Program) that a Lipid Panel/Cholesterol Test should be measured:
- Every 5 years in healthy adults.
- More regularly if you have other risk factors
- In children and youths who are at an increased risk
- To evaluate the success of lipid-lowering treatment
- 15 μL sample volume
- 8 minute test time
- 6 results in one test
- Configurable display of measuring units
- Ready to use controls in 2 levels
