HORIBA India is committed to bringing products of indigenous make to customers while ensuring HORIBA’s global product standards and quality. HORIBA has invested in manufacturing facilities in India and these investments contribute to the Make in India of the Government of India’s (GOI) push toward industrial development, economic growth, more job creation, and self-sustainability, i.e., Atmanirbhar Bharat.
One such state-of-the-art manufacturing facility was recently inaugurated at Butibori, Nagpur, which is spread across an area of 12 acres. This one-of-a-kind facility comprises of manufacturing, refurbishment, central warehouse, an international training center, HORIBA Experience Zone, and HORIBA India Technical Institute (HITI). We have started manufacturing analyzers in the clinical chemistry segment at this facility.
- Yumizen CA40, a semi-automated clinical chemistry analyzer with the facility to perform chemistry, immunoturbidimetry, and coagulation tests (PT and APTT). This analyzer is an asset for any laboratory, offering several benefits that can help to improve the efficiency, accuracy, and affordability of healthcare. It is ideal for small and mid-sized laboratories and can also work as backup chemistry support for all laboratories with high workloads.
- Yumizen C150, a new bench-top automated clinical chemistry analyzer with a throughput of 200 tests per hour. It has a unique compact design with inbuilt laundry and cooling facilities for reagents, making it ideal for space-constrained laboratories along with unique software features, such as user-defined reflex action and unlimited patient result storage capacity. This system would be ideal for small and mid-sized laboratories.
- Yumizen E60, a user-friendly and reliable electrolyte analyzer, ideal for medium- to high-volume laboratories and hospitals. It allows measurement of specific ions, accurately and precisely, supporting fast diagnosis. It has a throughput of 60 samples per hour, a 5” color LCD touchscreen display, and a storage capacity of 10,000 patient results.
The new emerging, cutting-edge technologies in medical healthcare and life sciences are expected to redefine the entire healthcare ecosystem. India is one of the fastest-growing life sciences markets in the world and the sector is poised to see multi-fold growth by 2030. Over the past decades, the Indian life sciences sector has witnessed exponential growth in terms of broadening scope, new research and development and deepening of capabilities across the industry value chain. In recent years, HORIBA has also expanded into the field of life science by uniting with scientific analysis equipment technology.
HORIBA will develop and deliver innovative analytical and automation solutions, combining state-of-the-art, optical, electrochemical, Raman spectroscopy, and x-ray fluorescence technologies, with core competencies in sampling, engineering, and data science. HORIBA will contribute to breakthroughs in drug development and manufacturing, leading to the adoption of new technologies, and contributing to healthier, more affordable and more equitable health care for all.
