The management and control of anticoagulant therapy and the assessment of pre and post surgical states, among others, require a proper evaluation of the coagulation cascade. Several tests help the physician in the diagnosis of altered coagulation states and management of coagulopathy. Biosystems’ recently launched coagulation reagents line includes the main diagnostic tests: Prothrombin Time, Activated Partial Thromboplastin Time, Fibrinogen and Thrombin Time. These reagents can be used in semiautomatic and automatic coagulation instruments, independently of the kind of clot detection method (optical and mechanic). Additionally, they are characterized by high stability and a good performance using low volume consumption.

Designed for use on the Liaison Iam instrument, the Iam Parvo assay is a highly sensitive, rapid quantitative molecular assay for Parvovirus B19 diagnosis.  Parvovirus B19 (B19V) infection is common and occurs worldwide, with epidemics following a 3-4 year cycle.  The virus is typically acquired in childhood when it causes the mild, self-limiting rash illness erythema infectiosum (commonly known as ‘slapped cheek’ or ‘fifth disease’).  It is transmitted through respiratory droplets and can vary in severity from asymptomatic to life-threatening illness.  B19V infection during pregnancy can have severe consequences. The infection can transfer from mother to fetus across the placenta and may cause fetal death or poor outcomes (including severe neurological disease) in surviving babies.  B19V is also problematic in immunocompromized patients and is the leading cause of pure red cell aplasia in AIDS patients.  In individuals with sickle cell anemia, B19V infection can result in transient aplastic crisis (TAC).  Chronic B19V infection can lead to persistent and severe anemia and is also associated with conditions such as arthropathy, glomerulonephritis and neurological disease. Calibrated against the WHO standard for B19V, Iam Parvo provides exceptional time-to-result benefits when compared to PCR, with equivalent specificity. The Liaison Iam instrument uses DiaSorin’s proprietary Q-LAMP technology.

The Allegra X-5 air-cooled benchtop centrifuge from Beckman Coulter Life Sciences is designed specifically for clinical sample preparation. As the latest member of the Allegra suite of benchtop centrifuges, the unit offers performance, reliability and endurance under exacting circumstances. Bundled packages, which include swinging bucket rotors and common adapters, enable fast and convenient setup, are offered for a range of clinical sample prep applications, and make it easy to order these energy efficient units. Throughput and productivity are enhanced through seamless integration with the Beckman Coulter Automate 2500 family of sample processing systems.  Furthermore, the company’s UniCel DxC and UniCel DxI sample racks can be spun directly in the centrifuge, eliminating transfer steps. A small footprint allows the unit to fit comfortably on the benchtop, while still providing capacity for up to 140 blood collection tubes.  Maximum speed of 4700 rpm and centrifugal force of up to 4470 x g shortens run times.
