SUMMARY

Earlier Sysmex Corporation ( Sysmex; Kobe Japan ) had launched PAMIA Series immunochemical analyzers and ELSIA Series enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay systems, both of which are in use in many medical facilities. Nevertheless, there is a strong demand for assay systems with even higher sensitivity and specificity.

Recently at Sysmex we have developed automated immunoassay system HISCL-2000i , which can meet this demand. This system uses a chemiluminescence enzyme immunoassay as its measurement principle, which has given the system better performance and higher-value-added features than the earlier systems. In developing this new system, we sought to improve the ease of use, which is a requirement in clinical laboratories, through simplified operation, shortened turnaround time ( TAT ), etc. I shall introduce here an outline of the HISCL-2000i  system, and cite some basic data.
