Keio University, Bio Gene Serv Jointly Begin Testing Infrared Spectrometry-based Blood Testing Device.Tokyo, Japan, Feb 1, 2006 - (JCN JCN Japan Corporate News JCN Journal of Cognitive Neuroscience JCN Journal of Cardiovascular Nursing JCN Journal of Christian Nursing JCN Job Control Number JCN Journal of Child Neurology JCN joint communications network (US DoD) ) - Keio University and Bio Gene Serv jointly announced on January 30 that they have begun a trial of a new blood testing device, Hikari Blood Testing System. The newly-developed device, which is based on infrared spectrometry, can measure blood components by allowing a patient to simply expose his finger to infrared light. Specifically, the system can provide various blood data including blood glucose, GPT GPT glutamic-pyruvic transaminase; see alanine transaminase. GPT abbr. glutamic-pyruvic transaminase GPT glutamic-pyruvic transaminase. , plasma protein, cholesterol and blood lactate Lactate A salt or ester of lactic acid (CH3CHOHCOOH). In lactates, the acidic hydrogen of the carboxyl group has been replaced by a metal or an organic radical. Lactates are optically active, with a chiral center at carbon 2. . The company envisions a wide range of applications from medical usage to doping doping, in electronics: see semiconductor. Altering the electrical conductivity of a semiconductor material, such as silicon, by chemically combining it with foreign elements. tests for athletes, sobriety tests for drivers and illegal drug tests by police. In collaboration with instrument manufacturers, the company aims to commercialize the new system at the earliest date possible. Copyright [c] 2006 Japan Corporate News Network. All rights reserved. |
