ESR analyzer

The miniiSED measurement of erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) is unaffected by variables associated with traditional methodologies, such as hematocrit. This single position, fully automated ESR analyzer works directly from primary EDTA tubes or BD Microtainer MAP Microtubes, requires 100 microliters of sample, has an internal barcode reader, and produces results in 15 seconds.

ALCOR Scientific

HbA1c analyzer

The ADAMS A1c HA-8180V is a fully automated hemoglobin A1c analyzer that utilizes gold standard HPLC technology. The analyzer has the lowest CVs on market (≤1 percent), eliminates interference from the most common hemoglobin variants, features on-board sample mixing and eliminates routine chromatogram review.

ARKRAY

Automation system

The DxA 5000 is a total laboratory automation system featuring a comprehensive pre-analytical specimen check system designed to identify up to 70 percent of the most common pre-analytical errors. The single point of entry supports various tube types and sizes for batch loading, with STAT samples having the highest priority.

Beckman Coulter

Film array system

The BioFire FilmArray Torch System is compatible with all existing infectious disease panels on the BioFire System. It has a workflow that includes a touchscreen interface and integrated barcode scanner. Its reduced footprint provides up to six times the throughput per square foot of laboratory bench space.

BioFire

Benchtop analyzer

The EasyRA is a fully automated benchtop clinical chemistry analyzer. This system allows clinical laboratories to screen for drugs of abuse in urine while also allowing healthcare providers to assess routine chemistry panels including CMPs, lipids and liver enzymes on a single analyzer.

Carolina Liquid Chemistries

Immunoassay instrument

The LUMIPULSE G1200 is a mid-sized fully automated immunoassay instrument, based on chemiluminescent enzyme immunoassay (CLEIA) technology. The analyzer processes 120 tests per hour and provides results in 30 minutes for all assays. It also allows for continuous loading and unloading of samples, reagents and consumables without operational interruption.

Fujirebio

Molecular diagnostics system

The Panther molecular diagnostics system is a fully automated, sample-to-result platform that can be used in low-, medium- or high-throughput laboratories. With a small footprint, adaptable workflow options and consolidated testing menu, it combines women’s health, sexually transmitted infections, viral load and respiratory virus testing, which can all be done simultaneously.

Hologic

Recapping device

The bench-top KapSafe Recapper automates the process of recapping sample tubes of various heights at a throughput of 750 tubes/hour. KapSafe helps lab staff members eliminate their exposure to repetitive stress injury during manual recapping. It uses multi-tier caps to fit various tube diameters.

LGP Consulting

Breath test

The BreathID Hp Lab urea breath test system for H. pylori detection provides batch-test analysis for maximizing lab testing throughput. For initial active infection detection or confirmation of eradiation, the technology automates data input and batch analysis to reduce human error and simplify reporting.

Meridian Bioscience

Critical-care analyzer

The Stat Profile Prime Plus is a whole-blood critical-care analyzer that combines cartridge technology for sensors and reagents with non-lysing whole blood co-oximetry technology. The test menu includes pH, PCO2, PO2, Na, K, Cl, iCa, iMg, Glucose, Lactate, BUN, Creatinine, Hct, Hb, SO2%, CO-Ox, and estimated plasma volume calculation, with results in about one minute

Nova Biomedical

Chemistry Analyzer

The RX imola is a bench-top clinical chemistry analyzer that has a throughput of 400 photometric and up to 560 tests per hour including ISE. The test menu includes proteins, lipids, antioxidants, cardiac and diabetes testing. The system also features random access, STAT sampling and intuitive software functionality to boost productivity.

Randox

Automated assays

The Seegene analyzer performs a broad menu of molecular diagnostic tests in the areas of infectious diseases, women’s health and personalized medicine. This includes the Allplex SARS-CoV-2/FluA/FluB/RSV Assay, which is pending submission and authorization from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.

Seegene Technologies

Imaging system

The ZEUS dIFine Digital IF system is an IFA imaging and automated pattern recognition system. It allows users to analyze 96 HEp-2 wells in under an hour, including pinpointing the exact location of mitotic cells. The system performs positive/negative determination as it is scanning each well.

ZEUS Scientific

Automation solution

The Aptio Automation includes pre- and post-analytical modules that automate sample loading, preparation and handling. The portfolio of mid- and high-volume automation-ready analyzers also supports more than 800 clinical chemistry, immunoassay, hematology, and hemostasis tests and allows for interfaces to third-party analyzers.

Siemens Healthineers

CBC analyzer

The five-part CBC analyzer takes blood directly from a fingerstick or venous sample. OLO uses a disposable cartridge, eliminating the need for reagent management and maintenance. The analyzer comes factory calibrated for a quick set-up with minimal training. The CBC test is suitable for patients who are at least 3 months old.

Sight Diagnostics

Data upload feature

The PT Data Upload allows labs to upload their quantitative proficiency testing data, much like patient information, directly to WSLH, saving time and reducing manual data entry.
