Silicon Photodiodes for Blood Analysis and Point-Of-Care Devices
Hamamatsu’s silicon photodiodes feature high-speed response, high sensitivity, and low noise, and are available in metal, ceramic, and plastic packages with a wide variety of surface-mount types available. This page provides an overview of their use in medical applications.
Point-of-care devices and blood analyzers are used to help medical professionals diagnose and monitor their patients and employ immediate clinical management based on the results they capture. Hamamatsu’s silicon photodiodes feature a long lifetime, excellent linearity, high UV-VIS sensitivity, low dark current, and high resistance against damages from UV light. These features make them ideal for integration into portable, handheld, and benchtop medical devices used in point-of-care and blood analysis applications.
