Abstract: A cartridge for an apparatus for analyzing blood chemistry includes an apparatus frame having a compartment; a cartridge that is inserted into the compartment of the apparatus frame and includes a sensor card, a solution valve unit, and a blood introducing unit; a controller that receives a signal generated from the sensor card and processes the signal; a lever for the blood introducing unit connected to the apparatus frame; a power transmitting unit that is provided to the apparatus frame and transmits power of the lever for the blood introducing unit to open/close the blood introducing unit of the cartridge; a solution transporting unit that is provided to the apparatus frame and transports the solutions; and a driving unit that actuates the solution valve unit of the cartridge by the controller and opens or closes the tubing flowing of the solutions.

Abstract: The present invention provides a solution bag that is used for medical treatment and stores solution used for an apparatus for analyzing blood chemistry that measures and analyzes the concentrations of electrolytes, the partial pressures of gases, and the concentrations of metabolites or the volume ratio of red blood cells contained in blood. The solution bag for an apparatus for analyzing blood chemistry of the present invention includes: a receptacle that contains a solution; a valve body that is attached to the receptacle and has a through-hole longitudinally formed therein; a valve spool that is disposed in the through-hole of the valve body; and a solution leakage preventing unit that is disposed in the valve spool, in which the valve body has a flow channel and a solution discharging pipe spaced at a predetermined distance from each other.

Abstract: The present invention provides a cartridge for an apparatus for analyzing blood chemistry that is used for medical treatment, and automatically analyzes and records data needed for medical service, such as the concentrations of electrolytes, the partial pressures of gases, and the concentrations of metabolites, or the volume ratio of red blood cells contained in blood.

Abstract: Compositions and methods for reducing the rate of loss of oxygen from a solution and increasing the effective life span of oxygen-containing calibration solutions.

Abstract: The present invention provides ion-selective electrode (ISE) sensors for detecting one or more analytes in a sample that includes an electrode and an ion-selective membrane, wherein the ion selective membrane contains an epoxy resin and one or more amine curing agents. The invention also provides methods of making and using such ISE sensors.

Abstract: An electrochemical sensor for detecting urea in a sample includes a composite membrane that includes an enzymatic layer and an outer diffusional layer. The outer diffusional layer is disposed between the enzymatic layer and the analytical sample, preventing direct contact between the enzymatic layer and the analytical sample.
