Teco Diagnostic’s Sodium Enzymatic Method (S650) test kit is a brand new formulation which uses enzymes instead of the traditional methodology of utilizing radioactive uranium acetate to perform a sodium test/reading.  Uranium acetate is highly toxic, radioactive, and a potent carcinogen which exposes both the environment as well as the user to potential risks.  The revised formulation is completely safe and extremely environmentally friendly.   The kit is available both in the manual as well as automated format, making it readily available for us in any laboratory or clinical setting.  The revised formulation has a faster procedure that cuts down on total test time by an entire 2 minutes.  Due to the use of enzymes the kit becomes highly more effective with an increased accuracy and specificity.

A post-analytical capping solution has been introduced for sample collection tubes containing blood or urine that require secure storage for several days in case additional tests need to be done. Blood and urine analysis are two of the most important diagnostic tools available to clinicians testing for evidence of infection, disease or abnormalities. Typically blood and urine is collected in vacuum tubes before being sent to a hospital laboratory for testing. After these analytical tests, the vacuum tubes need to be stored for several days in case additional tests need to be performed. Designed in conjunction with healthcare professionals, Novitain TPE Push Caps off er an ideal solution for the secure short-term sealing of 13mm diameter sample collection tubes in a 50-tube format. These caps are manufactured from a chemically resistant medical grade hydrophobic polymer to ensure stored sample integrity. Novitain Capcluster-50 offers a rapid and economical solution for capping 50 individual sample tubes using the Novitain Manual Capper CV750. Th e Novitain Manual Capper CV750 operates as a stand-alone device that is very easy to use. To operate, the Novitain Capcluster- 50 is placed on the racked sample tubes, the rack is placed into the Novitain Manual Capper CV750 rack entrance and with a simple forward / reverse action of the black handle all 50 tubes are evenly capped. After capping 50 sample tubes in two seconds, the Novitain Capcluster-50 retaining foil can be simply removed to leave each tube individually securely capped. Each tube can be easily opened again using the tab attached to each cap without the need for additional tools.
