Biosen C-Line

Glucose and lactate measurement

Pebble
The Biosen series of glucose analyzers includes two models, Biosen C-Line Clinic and Biosen C-Line GP+. They are a familiar brand name in laboratories, sports medicine, science, and diabetes clinics.

Biosen analyzers can be manufactured as single-channel glucose systems or as dual-channel systems that can measure lactate at the same time.

Biosen uses a special chip sensor technology to to deliver fast measurements with high accuracy at a low cost per test. Due to the long life of the sensor chip, the system requires little maintenance, and features such as the color touch screen and large memory only add to the Biosen analyzer’s user-friendliness.

All Biosen analyzers are supplied with an RS252C, USB, and encrypted ethernet interface to connect to hospital or lab information systems (LIS) and middleware such as EKF Link. The Biosen C-Line Clinic comes standard with an integrated barcode reader, and printer connectivity via RS232C or by utilizing EKF Link and EKF Link Lite is possible with both models.

Biosen can test whole blood, plasma or serum to provide glucose and lactate values with excellent precision (less than 3% CV) over a wide measurement range.

There are two different Biosen C-Line models. Each has been designed for different scenarios. The Biosen C-Line range consists of the Clinic and GP+.

  • The Clinic has been developed for use in sport facilities, clinics or laboratories that have moderate demand for sample testing (up to 20 samples).
  • The GP+ is designed for small clinics and surgeries with small demands on sample testing and likely to be used as a POCT device (up to 5 samples).

The range can be ordered as either one or two channel systems for measurements of either glucose or lactate, or both.
