Description
Nephrolux® Human Breath Ammonia Analyzers by Pranalytica, Inc. represent a groundbreaking advancement in the noninvasive diagnostics of kidney disorders. This revolutionary sensor offers a rapid and efficient alternative to traditional methods of assessing kidney function, which often require invasive blood draws and lengthy laboratory analyses. By measuring the concentration of ammonia in exhaled human breath, the Nephrolux® provides a direct correlation to blood urea nitrogen and creatinine levels, delivering results in a mere two minutes. This quick and non-invasive approach is particularly beneficial for patients undergoing dialysis, allowing for frequent monitoring and immediate adjustments to their treatment.
The Nephrolux® analyzer is designed with precision and ease of use in mind. Its autonomous operation requires no continuous operator attention, making it a practical choice for clinical settings. The device's measurement process is direct and efficient, eliminating the need for preconcentration or conversion. With a minimum detectivity of 1 ppb and a measurement cycle that can be continuous or single-shot, the Nephrolux® ensures reliable and accurate readings. Furthermore, its selectivity is robust, with no interference from other compounds, ensuring that the results are both precise and dependable.
Another potential application of the Nephrolux® is in monitoring abnormal pregnancies, including conditions such as preeclampsia. By tracking breath ammonia concentrations, healthcare providers may be able to gain early insights into potential complications, allowing for timely interventions. The analyzer's embedded Pentium class microcomputer and LINUX-based operating system assure high reliability, while its solid-state memory offers crash-proof data storage for over a year, with options for extended storage capabilities.
With its innovative technology and user-friendly design, the Nephrolux® is poised to transform the landscape of medical diagnostics, offering a safer, faster, and more efficient way to monitor critical health parameters.
