Product Overview
The MCL2142 13C-Urea Breath Test Analyzer is a high-precision system. It is built for the clinical detection and testing of H. pylori infections in the human stomach. This H. pylori detector is widely recognized as the clinical "Gold Standard" for non-invasive gastric diagnostics. It delivers exceptionally reliable results without requiring a patient endoscopy.
System Architecture & Structural Composition
The full configuration of the MCL2142 features a medical-grade desktop setup. The main unit houses the optical signal sensors, the sample collection parts, and the main control system. This setup also includes a computer interface, a power cord, and a built-in printer for fast diagnostic reports.
Operational Detection Principle
This medical breath analyzer utilizes advanced infrared spectroscopy to measure the delta value (). This value shows the difference between the ratio of 13C to 12C (13C/12C) in the breath of the patient. The system checks this ratio by comparing breath samples taken before and after the patient drinks a 13C-labeled urea liquid.
The H. pylori bacteria contain active urease enzymes. These enzymes break down the swallowed 13C-urea into ammonia and 13CO2 gas. This gas enters the bloodstream and leaves the body through the lungs. The clinical testing criteria are then accurately determined by the machine's measured Delta Over Baseline, or DOB, value.
l DOB > 4.0‰: Positive (H. pylori infection confirmed).
l DOB < 4.0‰: Negative (Clear of active H. pylori infection).
l DOB ≈ 4.0‰ (Borderline Zone): Suspected infection (Clinical re-testing or auxiliary diagnostic verification recommended).
Target Clinical Departments
This Helicobacter Pylori test equipment is highly automated and non-invasive. It has become an essential asset for expanding throughput across multiple hospital divisions.

Why Hospitals & Clinics Use MCL2142
1. Maximize Patient Turnover
Traditional lab cultures or stool tests take several days to complete. In contrast, the MCL2142 delivers accurate analysis results within 140 seconds, or under 3 minutes. This rapid processing time allows clinics to shorten patient wait times and optimize daily appointment schedules easily.
2. Superior Patient Compliance and Experience
This system eliminates patient anxiety caused by blood draws or invasive tubes. The MCL2142 uses a simple breath-collection method. It uses lightweight, odorless breath collection bags that require zero needles and cause zero discomfort.
3. Uncompromising Safety for All Demographics
Unlike radioactive 14C options, the 13C stable isotope used by this system is completely non-radioactive. It is proven 100% safe for children, elderly patients, and pregnant/lactating women. This high level of safety allows hospitals to offer universal screening without any health concerns.
4. High Profitability and ROI
Fast testing speed combined with affordable test kits helps medical centers recover their initial investment quickly. This allows facilities to build a steady, profitable revenue stream over time.

Technical Specifications
Product Structure & Operational Highlights
1. High Efficiency
The machine features fast operation and automated batch testing. It delivers full analysis within just 2 to 3 minutes for each set of samples. This help facilities maximize daily patient flow.
2. Simple & Intelligent Workflow
The system features a simple, one-touch user interface. It is managed by a fully automated control system that eliminates the need for long staff training.
3. Unrivaled Accuracy
The machine uses high-precision infrared spectroscopy to maintain high testing accuracy Ssd< 0.3‰. This design completely removes human error from the measurement cycle.
The 5-Step Simple Operational Flow:
1. Blow 1st Bag: The patient blows gently into the baseline breath collection bag to establish the initial control sample.
2. Take Tablet: The patient swallows one 13C-Urea capsule/tablet with a small amount of plain water.
3. Wait 20 Minutes: The patient rests comfortably for exactly 20 minutes. During this time, the stable isotope reacts naturally inside the stomach environment.
4. Blow 2nd Bag: The patient blows into the second breath collection bag to gather the diagnostic sample.
5. Test with Analyzer: The operator plugs both collection bags into the dedicated testing ports of the MCL2142. Next, pressing start delivers a printed diagnostic report within 140 seconds.
Required Consumables & Accessories
To run clinical tests, the analyzer operates alongside dedicated 13C-Urea Breath Test Kits. Each consumable set comes fully equipped with the 13C-Urea test reagent, available in tablet or powder format. It also includes matching baseline and diagnostic collection bags designed for simple air sample collection.
