Abbott demonstrated a prototype of the company\u2019s next-generation molecular diagnostics platform at a recent scientific event hosted for its customers from across the globe. At the event, molecular laboratory directors and researchers had hands-on interaction with the prototype and were able to provide additional feedback on the system prior to further stages of development. <\/p>\n
Abbott\u2019s new system is currently being designed from the ground up based on extensive input from laboratory customers. For example, health systems around the world are often challenged with higher testing volumes with staffing and budget constraints, including in the molecular laboratories.
\n\u201cOur molecular lab customers tell us they are facing pressures to do more with less,\u201d said John Carrino, divisional vice president, research and development, Molecular Diagnostics, Abbott. \u201cAbbott\u2019s next-generation molecular system is being designed to have a faster turnaround time, greater flexibility to run any test at any time, an ability to run higher volumes and automation to increase lab efficiency \u2013 all without compromising the testing performance and quality for which our organization is highly regarded.\u201d <\/p>\n
Additionally, customer insights suggest a need for a broad testing menu in the molecular lab. Abbott currently offers one of the broadest molecular testing menus for infectious diseases such as HIV, hepatitis and tuberculosis, as well as sexually transmitted infections such as human papillomavirus (HPV), chlamydia and gonorrhea, among others tests. <\/p>\n
\u201cAbbott\u2019s molecular diagnostics can provide the information needed to help guide some of life\u2019s most important health decisions,\u201d said Andrea Wainer, president, Molecular Diagnostics, Abbott. \u201cOur accurate, reliable and quality tests could allow clinicians to make more informed treatment decisions to help improve patient care.\u201d In addition to the new molecular system, Abbott will be launching next-generation systems in blood screening, immunoassay, clinical chemistry, hematology and point of care testing in the near future. All of the systems will be built on the same software and hardware platforms to enable more automation and to simplify the user experience for Abbott\u2019s customers. <\/p>\nwww.abbottmolecular.com<\/link>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
