The Changchun Institute of Optical Devices and Physics has developed an automatic biochemical analyzer based on its own technology.

The analyzer, a medical measurement instrument commonly used inclinical treatment, is the first of its kind developed from Chinese technologies as the result of a research program carried out since 1999 by the institute under the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) and the Ministry of Science and Technology.

An automatic biochemical analyzer is an efficient medical measurement device with multiple functions capable of providing prompt data concerning the functioning of a patient's blood, heartand liver. Although widely used in western countries, only large Chinese hospitals can afford it due to its high price.

U.S. and Japanese companies currently dominate the medical biochemical analyzer market, however, the new Chinese product willbe introduced at a lower price.

The institute has already begun production in order to satisfy the rising demand in the country. It's estimated that revenue fromthe project will reach 100 million yuan (12.4 million U.S. dollars)by the year 2005.
