Anteo Diagnostics, the inventor and develop of the Mix&Go molecular velcro surface chemistry is please to announce the launch of the Mix&Go based AMG™ Coupling Kit at the 2014 AACC Annual Meeting & Clinical Expo in Chicago.
Compact Dry is a self-contained device containing a membrane matrix saturated with a culture medium and a gelling agent, and then dried. A diluted food sample (1mL) is added to the center of the device, which diffuses automatically and evenly throughout the plate. The device is then incubated, after which a technician counts the colonies.
The Vision MINI Xi smart camera is the world's smallest machine vision system available with embedded Ethernet connectivity. Housed in our patented mini design and featuring built in lens and LED lighting, our award-winning compact smart camera is now available for flexible implementation of machine vision inspection (from decoding to color matching to OCR and more) into industrial environments. The Vision MINI Xi has corner-exit cables with both serial and Ethernet options to meet any connectivity requirement in space-constrained applications, and also packs 24 V interface, optically isolated I/O, and autofocus into its tiny form factor for powerful machine vision tasks with a small footprint.
The Precision Fluidics Division of Parker Hannifin Corporation, the global leader in motion and control technologies, announces the release of its newest Diaphragm Isolation liquid Valve. This 6.4 mm diaphragm isolation valve improves performance of Clinical Diagnostic and Analytical Chemistry systems requiring precision fluid and delivers liquid dispense performance in a very small package. At just 6.4 mm wide it can be easily mounted over microplates improving performance and saving space. When mounted on a manifold the R6’s ultra-small footprint enables smaller and more efficient fluidic circuits by taking less space and shortening fluid channels. The R6 provides solutions to today’s demanding analytical, clinical and agent detection applications.
The new A2 (A-squared) Multiplex IA glass slide offers the user an open platform from which to prepare quantitative multiplex immunoassays of their choice
Focus Diagnostics received expedited FDA 510(k) clearance and CLIA moderate complexity categorization for its new Simplexa HSV 1 & 2 Direct molecular test on the Integrated Cycler. The test, which is now available for purchase in the United States, is the first molecular test to be cleared by the FDA for the qualitative detection and differentiation of herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV-1) and herpes simplex virus 2 (HSV-2) in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) from patients suspected of HSV central nervous system (CNS) infection, including encephalitis. The test uses a proprietary process that eliminates nucleic acid extraction, so clinicians can expect results within about an hour after providing a specimen for testing.
Abbott is developing diagnostic solutions for today and tomorrow, which it will showcase during the American Association for Clinical Chemistry (AACC) Annual Meeting and Clinical Lab Expo, July 27 through July 31, 2014, in Chicago.
Atomo Diagnostics is introducing the world’s first integrated rapid blood test device to the USA market at the 2014 AACC Annual Meeting & Clinical Lab Expo (July 27-31) following a successful presentation at the 20th International AIDS Conference 2014 in Melbourne (July 20 -25, 2014).
A recent study presented during ASM 2014 found shows that Puritan's Liquid Amies Collection and Transport System and HydraFlock® flocked swabs work as well or better in Copan's WASP®.
UNIConnect announced the release of its new PrecisionMDx (PMDx) System. Building upon a history of software engineering and support for research, development and delivery in the "omic" sciences, PMDx represents dramatic innovation driven by experience gained from the interplay of client and vendor in the realm of molecular diagnostic test development.
UNIConnect, L.C., a Utah-based software firm, announced today it will donate an innovative laboratory process management software platform for the life sciences to the George Washington University’s (GW) Computational Biology Institute (CBI).
The winning abstract, “Versatile Electrical Platform for Accelerated Development and Commercialization of In-Vitro Diagnostic Assays”, describes a process to integrate a novel silicon biosensor into a microfluidic chip which has the potential to enable customers to design highly cost-effective, mass-fabricated Point-of-Care (POC) devices with better sensitivity and higher robustness than any commercially available solution.
There are 17 million cancer survivors in the US who are at high risk of recurrence of their disease. The AMAS Test, an immunoassay designed to detect levels of an antibody correlated with nearly all cancer types, can be an important tool in detecting recurrence since it becomes positive at an earlier stage than other diagnostics.
Rees Scientific (www.reesscientific.com) a leading provider of Automated Temperature and Environmental Monitoring Systems is introducing Presidio On The Go.
Dr. Lakshmann Ramamurthy (Avalere Health) will discuss Regulatory & Reimbursement Policy Trends Affecting Market Access for Diagnostic Devices – Emphasis on Validity and Quality. Dr. Ramamurthy was formerly senior reviewer/policy advisor, FDA’s Center for Devices & Radiological Health, where he led the pilot project of the FDA-CMS parallel review
Committed to providing the solutions labs need to meet the challenges they face, Beckman Coulter Diagnostics has been ranked among the industry’s highest performing Service providers in the clinical diagnostics industry in the 2014 IMV ServiceTrak Executive Summary Report.
Beckman Coulter Diagnostics will be featuring its latest solutions at the 2014 American Association of Clinical Chemistry (AACC) Annual Meeting and Clinical Lab Expo in Chicago, Ill., July 27-31, 2014.
