Russia’s first automatic analyzer for medical tests under way outside Moscow

Russia’s first automatic analyzer for medical tests under way outside Moscow September 22, 2016, 10:39

Eiliton, a Russian company headquartered in the Dubna special economic zone outside Moscow, has received a $38,000 Moscow Oblast government grant to develop Russia’s first automatic analyzer for in vitro medical tests, portal Rusnanonet.ru reported.

Today, diagnostic labs across Russia’s clinics predominantly use semiautomatic analyzers that require imported test strips. There are about 10,000 such analyzers in the country. Their main deficiency is reported to be substantial errors that stem from the necessity for medical staff to put sample liquids on test strips manually.

The solution to the problem would be a completely automatic analyzer capable of covering the entire cycle from taking a sample to producing test results all on its own. No manufacturer produces such analyzers in Russia as of now. Imported automatic analyzers are in limited use because of their high cost ($20,000–30,000 per device).

Eiliton is expected to develop a solution that would analyze urine by 12 obligatory and two optional parameters with a capacity of at least 240 tests an hour. Minister of Investment and Innovation of the Moscow Oblast Denis Butsaev promised the new analyzer «will beat analogs in price and will successfully compete in other characteristics.»

A little video game-playing 'linked with better-adjusted children'

A new study suggests video game-playing for less than an hour a day is linked with better-adjusted children and teenagers. The research, carried out by Oxford University, found that young people who indulged in a little video game-playing were associated with being better adjusted than those who had never played or those who were on video games for three hours or more. The study finds no positive or negative effects for young people who played ‘moderately’ between one to three hours a day. However, the study, published in the journal, Pediatrics, suggests that the influence of video games on children, for good or for ill, is very small when compared with more ‘enduring’ factors, such as whether the child is from a functioning family, their school relationships, and whether they are materially deprived.
