C347 Beckman CytoDiff Panel Kit OL

Flow cytometry software for hematology

Part of the company’s Hemato- Flow solution combining diagnostic reagent, hematology and flow cytometry hardware and IT expertise, Version 2 CytoDiff CXP Autogating software is designed to give laboratories added confidence in the use of flow cytometry in the routine hematology lab for the auto-validation of abnormal samples. Easy-to-use, the advanced Version 2 software further improves sub-population classifications. It adds new features, such as greater precision in the removal of potential interference and metrics that provide a new ‘confidence level’ on population classification. The new software simplifies the review process making it easier to validate results with greater certainty. HematoFlow with the CytoDiff five-colour antibody cocktail and CXP Autogating Software make it possible to use the precision of flow cytometry to deliver extended white blood cell (WBC) differential results with far greater consistency than manual microscopic assessment. The five-colour antibody cocktail, the CytoDiff, uses six monoclonal antibodies to establish the differential. The routine use of flow cytometry for validating abnormal samples can improve workflow and turnaround time as well as providing access to additional diagnostic information for patients. European laboratories are already working with Beckman Coulter to increase confidence in the routine use of flow cytometry in the hematology process for validating abnormal samples. Hospitals including University Hospital, Rennes and Bordeaux in France, Erasme University Hospital, Brussels, Belgium and several private labs are successfully adopting this approach. CytoDiff is not available for in vitro diagnostic use in the United States and other geographies.

Sampling tube for effective glycolysis inhibition

The reliable stabilization of blood sugar levels directly after sampling is an important precondition for the accuracy of the analysis results. VACUETTE® GLUCOMEDICS was specially developed for this application. The additive mixture in the tube stabilizes the blood sample immediately after sampling and thus impedes the breakdown of glucose over time (glycolysis). The combination of sodium EDTA, sodium fluoride, citric acid and sodium citrate acidifies the whole blood sample, resulting in the immediate and complete inhibition of glycolysis, thus setting it apart from conventional sodium fluoride tubes. The glucose concentration of whole blood and/or plasma samples is kept constant at room temperature for up to 48 hours at the “in-vivo value” (almost 100% of the original value). The dosed liquid additives ensure the easy mixing of the additive with the whole blood sample. To make up for the dilution effect of the additive, the analysis result must be multiplied by 1.16. This is required to obtain the “in-vivo glucose concentration” in the plasma.

C343 Biohit

Celiac disease quick test

Celiac quick test is the latest addition to Biohit’s GI tract quick test portfolio and makes it easy to test for celiac disease right at the point of care. Results are obtained by testing antitissue transglutaminase (tTG) antibodies from a blood sample. The blood sample is taken from finger tip and incubated with buffer on the test plate. Already after 10 minutes the result is ready for visual reading. The test is useful for general practitioners, endoscopists, outpatient departments and dietetics. (The product is not available in the United States or Canada).

In-office diabetes testing

The DCA® HbA1c test kit, used for more than two decades to monitor patients, can now be used as an aid to diagnose diabetes and identify patients at risk for developing the disease. The dual use kit, for both monitoring and diagnosing, is available for sale in EU countries and countries not requiring any local regulatory clearances under part #10698915. Early detection and tight glycemic control help mitigate the serious conditions that accompany diabetes: heart and kidney disease, limb neuropathy, retinopathy, and stroke. More importantly, patients identified as being at risk can stop or reverse disease progression through lifestyle adjustments and/or pharmacological treatment. Availability of results at the time of visit provides healthcare providers and educators the opportunity to have meaningful, faceto- face discussions regarding treatment options. From a convenience and scheduling standpoint, it eliminates multiple visits for pre-visit blood draws or post-testing follow-up consultation. The DCA Vantage® analyser is just one of two point-of-care HbA1c analysers that meet NGSP performance criteria.

ELISA & IFA automated platform

SKYLAB 752 is a fully automated analyser able to process simultaneously up to 7 EIA microplates and 28 IFA slides. The flexibility of the working area makes SKYLAB 752 suitable for any laboratory requirement. It is equipped with an innovative pipetting system: two pipettors working simultaneously and independently. This important feature makes it possible to dispense a whole microplate in half the time it takes with other similar analysers on the market, hence minimizing the drift effect. Standard high-quality disposable tips ensure zero carry over. The innovative and exclusive dispensing technology guarantees precision and accuracy of the results. Disposable high-quality tips are ideal for infectious disease tests (Hepatitis, ToRCH etc). The built-in barcode reader allows sample positive identification and reagents detection. SKYLAB 752’s unique features (such as the possibility to have 5 different buffers on board, as well as being able to carry up to 4 orbital shakers) make it suitable for any kind of ELISA test. Additionally, SKYLAB 752 is equipped with an innovative optical reading system: LEDs, instead of the traditional halogen lamp, guarantee stable reliability of the results.

Randox Direct Clearance LDL Cholesterol- clearing the way for accurate testing

The Randox LDL cholesterol assay utilises the clearance method for the accurate diagnosis of patient samples. The advanced reagent formula enables rapid clearance of all non-LDL lipoproteins from a sample, enabling the diagnosis of LDL cholesterol only. Furthermore, patient samples where diabetes, liver disease or high triglyceride levels are a concern can be accurately measured using the Randox LDL cholesterol assay.

The Friedewald calculation is often used in LDL measurement however the accuracy of this method is inadequate due to its dependency on “normal” triglyceride levels. At high levels of triglycerides a large number of samples are misclassified using the Friedewald calculation leading to significant discrepancies between calculated LDL cholesterol and the true value. The Randox LDL clearance method eliminates this problem and ensures truly accurate results are produced.

Greiner Bio One VACUETTE TUBE TOUCH Needle Indicator

Blood collection system

The VACUETTE TUBE-TOUCH is a safety product of the newest generation with an automated activation of the protective shield. This product is a further development of the already existing VACUETTE PREMIUM Safety Needle System. It was developed in close collaboration with users. The result is the VACUETTE TUBE-TOUCH Holder. The new name vividly captures the product’s functional capabilities. The safety mechanism is activated by placing the tube in the holder. In this way, needlestick injuries are automatically avoided. Apart from being easy to use, the VACUETTE TUBE-TOUCH is characterized by its newly designed protective shield, which is freely movable upon activation. Graduation marks have been added to the protective shield in order to easily demonstrate the position of the needle in the vein for the user. These marks show how far the needle is located in the vein. During removal of the needle from the vein, the protective shield automatically encloses the needle making the product practical, simple and safe. This product will be introduced this year in July at the AACC in Houston. Stand 4511.
