Serum electrolytes concentrations are most commonly used tests for assessment of a patient’s clinical conditions, and are associated with morbidity and mortality. Any derangements from the normal range of electrolyte levels in the body is described as electrolyte disorders. There are several common electrolytes found in the body, each serving a specific and important role, but most are in some part responsible for maintaining the balance of fluids between the intracellular and extracellular environments. This balance is critically important for issues like hydration, nerve impulses, and muscle function and pH level. The major electrolytes in the body are Potassium, Sodium, Magnesium, Calcium and Chloride. Serum Sodium, Potassium and Chloride are considered as the major determinants of electrophysiological properties of myocardial membrane

In recent years Ion Selective Electrode (ISE) technology has been developed with the application of sensor technology and micro-computer technology. Unlike flame luminosity method, Ion Selective Electrode method measures the serum directly without any dilution, by reducing the measurement time significantly.

Innolyte electrolyte analyzer is specially designed for clinical analysis of electrolytes (Na⁺, K⁺, Cl^-, Ca⁺⁺, Li⁺ and  pH) by much faster, more accurate and with very less sample volume. The user interface provides much more convenience to use with ease and maintain the quality of their results through quality monitoring function. For electrodes and electrolytes, kindly refer to the Ordering information section of this page.
