| Physical examinations at work and school,
hematology tests, X-rays and other clinical laboratory
tests carried out in hospitals are essential in discovering
abnormalities in the body, determining courses of treatment,
and monitoring the progress of disease. At Sysmex, we
are engaged in clinical laboratory testing of blood,
urine and other specimens. In addition to providing
instruments and reagents for clinical laboratory testing,
we also offer laboratory information systems as part
of our comprehensive service and support system. |
| We are also developing these technologies
and expertise to expand our areas of business. For example,
we are expanding into such fields as POC*
testing to enable faster diagnoses, centralized test
data management for improved testing efficiency, and
the establishment of local healthcare networks to link
hospitals and clinics. At the same time, we are also
creating new core technologies to address the challenges
of disease prevention and early cancer detection. By
expanding our business into these healthcare testing
fields, we intend to contribute to the creation of a
vibrant and healthy society. |
In addition, we are applying the technologies
that we have devised in the field of clinical laboratory
testing to industry, sports, and other new business
fields.

Urinalysis testing involves checking for the
presence of sugar, protein, and blood in the urine,
while also looking for the presence of urinary

blood testing involves checking for the presence
of bleeding from the digestive tract or cancer
using an occult blood reaction. Fecal occult blood
testing is also used to check for the presence
of parasites or their eggs. |
