AutoSorter™ 1200 is Yaskawa Motoman’s high-speed sorting instrument for pre- and post-analytic specimen processing. It can process up to 1,200 tubes/hr. A large sort deck area yields extended walkaway times and expanded deck configuration options, while its reduced footprint saves lab floorspace.
KT-8000 is equipped with auto-loader and sample mixer. This brand new fully automated hematology analyzer can free your hands and extend walk-away time. Smart counting mode can fit into more application scenarios than other hematology analyzers. Support both open vial/auto loading mode, and emergency sample first, and fit all the demands. Powerful data management unit has improved the work efficiency markedly.
Participation Announcement
Messe Düsseldorf will participate in the AACC Clinical Lab Expo 2022 in order to promote its “MEDICAlliance” program of regional and international medical trade fairs organized around the globe.
The planning for the world’s leading medical trade fair MEDICA 2022 as well as for COMPAMED 2022, the No. 1 trade fair for suppliers of the medical technology industry, has entered the next stage. The current number of exhibitor registrations indicates that participation will surpass last year’s results (MEDICA 2021: 3,033; COMPAMED 2021: 490). Exhibitors can still register online for all segments at www.medica.de/2330 and www.compamed.de/2330 MEDICA and COMPAMED will take place concurrently from November 14 – 17, 2022 at the fairgrounds in Düsseldorf, Germany.
Microencapsulation is becoming increasingly important in pharmaceutical, cosmetics, food and agricultural industries. New dosage forms are emerging and the efficacy is increasing. Precise metering techniques in the low-volume range are a necessary prerequisite for the production and processing of APIs. Metering pumps by HNP Mikrosysteme are a suitable technical solution.

OPTI Medical Systems will be displaying their next generation of blood gas and electrolyte analyzer at the 2022 AACC Clinical Lab Expo (booth #631). The OPTI® CCA-TS2 Blood Gas and Electrolyte Analyzer provides fast accurate results for blood gases, acid-base balance, electrolytes, ionized calcium, glucose, BUN/urea, lactate and additional blood parameters such as total hemoglobin concentration (direct measurement) and oxygen saturation (sO2). The instrument runs samples of whole blood, plasma, and serum on single-use disposable cassettes.
OPTI Medical Systems B-Lac Cassette measures lactate, pH, PCO2, PO2, tHb, and SO2 in whole blood.
The OPTI® SARS-CoV-2 RT-PCR Test has received FDA Emergency Use Authorization and CE-IVD for sample handling using the OPTI® Rapid Lysis Buffer.
The US Food and Drug Administration granted OPTI Medical Emergency Use Authorization for the OPTI® SARS-CoV-2/Influenza A/B RT-PCR Test on April 21st.
The OPTI® SARS-CoV-2 RT-PCR Test has received FDA Emergency Use Authorization and CE-IVD for pooled testing and asymptomatic screening.
Earlier this year, Lighthouse Lab Services conducted it's first survey of wage and morale among Medical Laboratory Professionals, gathering responses from more than 1,100 individuals across the industry. Our results, which are now available in the report linked below, show a majority of our inaugural respondents are feeling overworked and are performing in understaffed labs, despite most receiving modest bumps in compensation when compared to 2021 salaries. Overall, our results show an industry that continues to struggle to replace retiring lab professionals at a sustainable rate while also facing challenges created by the recent pandemic. Although many are receiving annual compensation increases of 1% to 5%, a number of respondents indicated better salaries could help to alleviate the recruitment problem.
AACC, a global scientific and medical professional organization dedicated to better health through laboratory medicine, is pleased to announce that the impact factor of its journal Clinical Chemistry has risen to 12.167 in the 2021 Clarivate Journal Citation Reports. This impact factor places Clinical Chemistry in the top 2% of 21,430 ranked academic journals and reaffirms that it is the top journal on medical laboratory technology—a position it has held for more than a decade.
AACC is pleased to announce that Erika Cheung and Tyler Shultz—two of the key whistleblowers who helped bring down Theranos—will speak in a special fireside chat at the 2022 AACC Annual Scientific Meeting & Clinical Lab Expo in Chicago. In this session, Cheung and Shultz will discuss the ethical challenges they faced in their efforts to reveal Theranos’ fraud and protect patients from the company’s faulty tests.
AACC, a global scientific and medical professional organization dedicated to better health through laboratory medicine, is pleased to announce that Octavia Peck Palmer, PhD, FAACC, has been elected to serve on the AACC board of directors as president-elect starting in August 2022.
AACC joins more than 100 other medical and patient organizations that have expressed concerns about the Senate HELP committee rushing to pass the VALID Act, a bill that would limit patient access to vital laboratory developed tests and the lifesaving diagnoses these tests enable. Specifically, the medical and patient communities urge Congress to remove the VALID Act from the FDASLA Act, a piece of must-pass legislation that the Senate is on the cusp of ratifying.
AACC, a global scientific and medical professional organization dedicated to better health through laboratory medicine, is pleased to announce the recipients of the 2022 AACC and AACC Academy Awards. Through this annual awards program, AACC and its academy recognize individuals around the world for outstanding research and service in the field of laboratory medicine, and strive to raise awareness of the vital contribution made by all lab professionals to patient care.
