The MassTox®, TDM Series A from Chromsystems allows for the fast and efficient monitoring of a broad range of therapeutic drugs. Substances such as antidepressants, antiepileptic drugs, benzodiazepines, neuroleptics, psychostimulants, and more are analysed by LC-MS/MS. The modular system consists of 3 components: MassTox®TDM BASIC Kit A, MassTox®TDM Analytical Column A and one of 14 MassTox®PARAMETER Sets. All determinations require the use of BASIC Kit A and Analytical Column A. The MassTox®PARAMETER Sets specify the particular drugs for analysis; the user chooses the parameter set according to his requirements. The parameter set contains the relevant calibrators, quality controls, and internal standards. Reagents can be combined to meet individual requirements and all components are available separately.

The benchtop Indiko Plus is the latest addition to the Thermo Scientific clinical chemistry analyser series. Sample oriented, the random access analyser is designed for uncompromised level of performance and ease-of- use. The throughput of the system is up to 350 photometric tests/hour and 135 ISE tests/hour making it suitable for small and medium sized laboratory settings. Its on-board sample capacity is 54, and it has 42 reagent positions. The analyser is well suited for routine clinical chemistry tests and for various specialty tests. Thermo Scientific bar-coded reagents off er a broad menu of homogeneous enzyme immunoassays for drugs of abuse testing, and therapeutic drug monitoring including immunosuppressant testing besides the routine clinical chemistry menu. These liquid, ready-to-use reagents ensure optimized productivity, high quality and effective cost control. Various automated features, like sophisticated dilutions, reflex testing capability and electronic readable calibrator and control values, help to perform analysis in an efficient way. Results are archived with associated calibrations and reagent lot data securing full traceability. Intuitive user interface provides fast guidance in several languages. Indiko Plus can be bi-directionally interfaced to a laboratory information management system (LIMS).

Providing an efficient solution for low to medium-volume hemostasis laboratories, the Coag4D instrument is a compact, lightweight, manual 4-channel coagulometer designed to include everything that could be improved in its category: it is extremely user-friendly due to its large-sized and robust touchscreen; it has an easy to follow „traffic light guidance system” for error-free sample and test handling, and barcode reading for samples, reagents and test specific parameters with LIS connection through both USB and serial ports. Coag 4D offers the advantages of photo-optical clot detection by turbodensitometry and combines nephelometry and photometry in one instrument. Moreover, it can be conveniently used for D-Dimer testing. The instrument has excellent analytical performance for clotting and immunological assays with a throughput of up to 50 PT/hour used in quick mode with 4 independent channels. The coagulometer comes with a complete reagent system including PT / aPTT both in liquid and lyophilized formats, TT / Fib tests, bi-level controls and calibrator. Additional tests and special tests can be easily configured and adapted on the instrument, further assisted by an automated internal sensitivity setting. The Coag4D system is available both for distribution and customized OEM cooperation.

Developed for easy and reliable measurement of glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) used in the detection and management of diabetes, the Quo-Test analyser, which is awaiting FDA clearance with a launch expected early in 2013, will be sold in North, Central and South America by Stanbio Laboratory acquired by EKF Diagnostics in May 2011. Quo-Test enables clinicians to make a rapid determination of diabetes management , thereby improving patients’ experience, thanks to the fast and accurate results obtained from the machine in just four minutes from 4μl of blood from finger prick or venous sample. The user-friendly device has a multi-lingual menu and allows for efficient data handling, with a barcode reader and storage of up to 7,000 results, which can be downloaded to a computer via a USB port. Quo-Test uses a patented Boronate Fluorescence Quenching Technology (BFQT): a simple, fast and accurate method, based on the well-documented boronate affinity for glycated hemoglobin, which is not affected by hemoglobin variants. Although Quo-Test has been developed to be used in a point of care setting, it is a professional product providing laboratory level accuracy, reporting its results in IFCC and DCCT standards (Mono S & JDS reporting are also available). The CE-marked analyser has been approved by China’s SFDA for the monitoring of HbA1c in diabetes patients.
