How does it work?
AFIAS-1 and AFIAS-6 (AFIAS-automated fluorescent immunoassay system) are automatic immunoassay systems that measures the concentration of a targeted analyte in a sample, using quantitative or semi-quantitative methods using blood, urine, and other samples.
The AFIAS reader is easy to carry and has a simple structure. Also, AFIAS uses all-in-one cartridges which automates the entire procedures from sample preparation to test when user loads sample only.
The AFIAS-1 analyzer has a single channel so it is optimized for small and mid-sized hospitals (or clinics) testing up to six COVID-19 Ab samples per hour while the AFIAS-6 comes with six channels with the capacity to process up to 36 samples per hour. For some tests, such as COVID-19, TSH, CRP, PCT, and HbA1c, a quantitative test can be performed using a small sample (10uL or 50uL) of whole blood from a finger or heel using an applicable C-tip (capillary tip).

FAQ
Yes. AFIAS-1 is a semi-automatic immunodiagnostic device that automatically mixes and dispenses samples when user loads sample only.
C-tip is an special tip with a capillary shape at the end. It is possible to measure some specific markers such as HbA1c, PCT, TSH, CRP and total b-hCG easily with AFIAS readers by fingertip sampling.
No. After inserting the ID Chip once for a specific lot, it is not necessary to insert the ID Chip continuously because the AFIAS readers store the corresponding ID Chip information.
The SD card slot is located on the bottom of the product. Please be sure to leave the tip waste box empty before use.
Once a day is recommended.
