The longest FlexLab automation system ever produced by Inpeco has been designed for a mega volume reference laboratory customer, Hermes Pardini group based in Minas Gerais, Brazil. Siemens Healthineers (Inpeco’s strategic automation partner who sold the solution) is implementing the FlexLab system for Hermes Pardini’s “Enterprise” project, which will result in the largest laboratory automation […]
EKF has published an educational guide which provides a quick overview of capillary blood sampling best practice. It aims to help healthcare professionals understand common causes of pre-analytical errors and reduce their impact on hemoglobin results. Entitled “Capillary sampling and its relevance for correct hemoglobin results”, the new guide is available to download from EKF […]
An international team of researchers from the Hopp Children’s Cancer Centre at the NCT Heidelberg (KiTZ), the European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL) and the German Cancer Consortium (DKTK) together with colleagues at the St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital in Memphis and the Hospital for Sick Children in Toronto has summarized hereditary gene defects which can […]
QIAGEN and DiaSorin announced the introduction of an automated, CE-marked workflow for QIAGEN’s QuantiFERON-TB Gold Plus blood collection tubes (QFT-Plus BCT) and a novel DiaSorin LIAISON test on widely used immunodiagnostic instruments from DiaSorin. Laboratories in Europe and other markets will now be able to process QFT-Plus BCT, the fourth-generation modern gold standard for latent […]
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an autoimmune disorder that occurs when the immune system mistakenly attacks the body’s tissues. Unlike the wear-and-tear damage of osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis affects the lining of the joints, causing painful swelling that can eventually result in bone erosion and joint deformity.Most RA patients are positive for anticitrullinated protein antibodies (ACPA), and […]
The use of genetic tests aimed at detecting the presence of mutations in the BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes in women with breast cancer is rapidly declining in favour of tests that can detect multiple cancer-associated mutations, according to researchers at the Stanford University School of Medicine and five other U.S. medical centres. Some researchers had […]
Even tiny amounts of viruses can have disastrous consequences. RNA identification can reveal the type of virus present. A fast and sensitive technique based on optical detection has now been outlined. Scientists from Germany and Finland have demonstrated the binding of an RNA target to a probe made of gold nanorods and a DNA origami […]
A small number of people who are infected with HIV-1 produce very special antibodies. These antibodies do not just fight one virus strain, but neutralize almost all known virus strains. Research into developing an HIV vaccine focuses on discovering the factors responsible for the production of such antibodies.A Swiss research team led by the University […]
Beckman Coulter has announced that it is a gold sponsor of the 2nd World Sepsis Congress, a free-of-charge online conference, hosted by the Global Sepsis Alliance, that will be held Sept. 5 and 6, 2018. Over the course of 17 sessions, more than 100 speakers from approximately 30 countries will discuss the wide-ranging implications of […]
A new Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) Accelerator Programme as part of new Calls for proposals was launched in July by the Innovative Medicines Initiative (IMI). Of the other topics launched in the Calls, many address brain disorders (e.g. Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, Huntington’s disease, major depression) and immune-mediated diseases (e.g. rheumatoid arthritis and lupus as well […]
