Thermo Scientific Indiko and Indiko Plus are random access clinical chemistry analysers with a wide menu of homogeneous enzyme immunoassays for drugs of abuse testing, and therapeutic drug monitoring including immunosuppressant testing. Besides these specialty tests, the Indiko system test menu covers routine clinical chemistry tests. The latest additions are ready-to-use liquid form CK and CK-MB reagents with a long on-board stability and wide measuring range. The unique low-volume cuvette design makes the systems economical to use, providing low reagent costs and minimizing the amount of reagent waste. The compact Indiko and Indiko Plus benchtops are designed for small and medium sized laboratory settings. Both analysers are sample-oriented and easy to use. Various automated features, like sophisticated dilutions, reflex testing capability and electronically readable calibrator and control values help to perform analysis in an effective way. Start-up and shutdown protocols are automated, and once loaded, the system has a walk-away time of up to two hours. A bi-directional LIS interface further automates test requisition and result management. The calibration and reagent lot data associated with patient information secure full result traceability.

Real-Time (quantitative) PCR assays for Chlamydia pneumonia and Mycoplasma pneumoniae  allow rapid and accurate detection of these pathogens in less than an hour run time and  with <10 copies sensitivity. There will be separate kits as well as a multiplex kit for simultaneous detection of the 2 bacteria in a single tube reaction. Detection of a genomic DNA target is included in all kits as an internal control for sample validity, extraction and amplification.  A separate positive control is included as well. These assays are adaptable to most Real-Time PCR instruments with commonly used fluorescence channels.  Bordetella pertussis & B. parapertussis RT-PCR kits are in the pipeline.
The new Bordetella pertussis IgG EIA assay, which uses pertussis toxin (PT) as antigen, as recommended in the European ECDC guidelines, and is calibrated against the international standard, complete the company’s respiratory panel, now totalling 10 different EIA kits for Mycoplasma pneumoniae, Chlamydia pneumoniae and B. pertussis.

Bio/Data Corporation is now offering a Tele-Check✓™ Calibration Verification Service for its platelet aggregometers. This calibration verification is performed over the phone while the aggregometer remains in the laboratory and is available for the PAP-8E and PAP-4 Series aggregometers in good working order. This service reduces downtime, save costs, and assures the platelet aggregometer is performing to published specifications. A service technician guides the user through the calibration verification process. Required materials are shipped to the laboratory in advance of the scheduled Tele-Check appointment. Calibration results generated by the instrument are submitted by the laboratory to the company for review by a Quality Control representative. Upon approval, a Certificate of Calibration will be issued along with a Calibration Sticker.
