DRI-CHEM NX600
An automated clinical chemistry analyzer with a large, easy-to-operate touch panel and improved workflow for setting consumables with the Consumable Disk.
Advanced operations in a smaller body.
- Large, easy-to-operate touch panel with fast response time
- Intuitive and simple operation
- Improved workflow for setting consumables with the Consumable Disk.
Fujifilm utilizes technology it has cultivated in the field of photography. In the subsequent 4 decades, we have worked on improving ease-of-use and downsizing the analyzer. That is why FUJI DRI-CHEM devices are used at various medical sites, such as outpatient clinics, hospital laboratories and medical laboratories. In addition, it can be used in situations where the water supply is interrupted by disasters.
Large, 7-inch, intuitive LCD touch panel
The simple and easy-to-use operation screen provides a swift transition speed of 0.5 seconds or less for stress-free operation.

3-Step easy measurement
Set the slide and the specimen, then press the Start key.
All the processes hereafter are fully automated.
Improved design supports smooth workflow
Set consumables for multiple samples at once
The layout is simpler than our previous models, and this makes it easier to set consumables.
Multiple tips can be set at once, which eliminates the need to set reference solution for each measurement. This reduces the frequency of consumable replacement.
More compact
A sliding front cover eliminates the need for a large space above the device to open and close the cover.
Patient-friendly testing
Each test needs only 10μL of sample. (CRP needs 5μL/test, ISE needs 50μL/3 tests). Manual pipetting can be also performed when the sample is less. Less invasive for newborns at NICU. * 50 μL are used for the simultaneous measurement of 3 electrolyte items.
High throughput
128 tests can be processed per hour.
Easy lot compensation by QC card
Corrections are made simply by reading the QC card included in the slide package into the main unit. * CRP: Calibration is required. ISE: Calibration and correction are not necessary. QC card is not attached.
Electrolyte measurement function
Electrolytes (Na-K-Cl) can also be measured.
Wide range of usable blood collection tubes
In addition to Fuji tubes (0.5/1.5 mL), commercially available blood collection tubes can be used as specimen tubes. * Please select suitable sample racks for your work flow. (refer last page: Option items/Sample Rack)
Automatic dilution function
Labor intensive operations like dispensing, mixing etc. are automated. The only operation is to input the dilution ratio.
Minimize the risk of biological hazard
Slide reagents after measurement are automatically discarded to the disposal box, minimizing the risk of contamination.
Complies with international standards (HL7)
Complies with international standards. Smoothly links with a facility’s host system.
Reliable technology ensures test quality.
The FUJI DRI-CHEM slide reagent has high reliability and stability thanks to fine chemical technology cultivated through FUJIFILM’s long history in photographic film manufacturing.
Less variation of results between operators, high result reproducibility and daily precision,and excellent correlation with wet chemistry are its remarkable features.
FUJI DRI-CHEM SLIDE
Two types of slides are provided for different test items.
Colorimetric method slide
Enzymes, General chemistry, and Immunology
This multilayered slide is composed of dry chemical ingredients needed for the reaction and other functional materials. It quantifies enzymes and chemicals using a colorimetric method.
Potentiometric method slide
Electrolytes
Each slide comes with an ion selective film electrode for each of Na, K, and Cl. Slides quantify electrolytes in the sample by a potentiometric method.
Accurate and reliable test results from long-term and field-proven technology & experience
IFCC standardization method (no PALP) (U/L)
Hexokinase method (mg/dL)
Ion-selective electrode method/ dilution method (mEq/L)
Latex immunoturbidimetry (mg/dL)
Plasma Filter
Blood separation in 1 minute
Plasma Filter (PF) can cut the turn around time and the pre-treatment process of the sample. It can generate a plasma sample by aspirating and separating the whole blood inside the PF within 1 minute. Just set the PF on top of the sample tube and press START.
- * This function is not available in the NX600i
- * TCO2: not applicable
- Read PF card.
- Set PF on the top of sample tube. (A)
- Press Start.
- Suction unit move to be connected on PF and start aspiration of whole blood. (B)
- Whole blood is separated at the glass fiber layer in PF to sample plasma. (C)
Operator Information Record
Operator information can be recorded with test results.
User Safety Mode (USM)
Only the registered person can operate the NX600. * For this application, FUJI DRI-CHEM OPERATOR ID EDITOR KIT is necessary to register and edit operator ID on a PC.
Built in quality control tools
Quality control in the NX600 is made easier with the advance QC functions. Results of quality control can be viewed on the NX600 screen.
