Clinical Chemistry InstrumentsClinical chemistry is used to analyze samples from patients to gather information about their health and tailor a treatment protocol for them. Clinical chemistry is used in medical labs, research labs, pharmaceutical companies, and academic labs. Some of the many clinical chemistry instruments used to gather information for health analysis are microscopes; blood analyzers, including cell counters; electrolyte, glucose, and oxygen analyzers; equipment for urinalysis; various immunoassays; and gel electrophoresis equipment for analyzing DNA. Clinical chemistry instruments allow scientists to determine properties in blood, urine, stool, tissues, and even DNA that can help them pinpoint the patient’s problem and how to best treat it.
