Data Presented on VITROS Systems
At the 18th IFCC-EFCC European Congress of Clinical Chemistry and Laboratory Medicine, data will be presented on Ortho Clinical Diagnostics' two in vitro diagnostic systems recently introduced to the market. The award winning VITROS 5600 Integrated System and the VITROS 3600 Immunodiagnostic System were conceived and engineered from the ground up based on new research and feedback from 60 laboratories to give patients and clinicians high-quality and reliable test results, according to the company.
An Ortho Clinical Diagnostics press release highlighted these benefits of the VITROS instruments:
- intuitive and easy-to-use
- reduced turnaround and maintenance times
- high throughput operation
- elimination of sample and reagent contamination through the use of single-use tips
- ability to change reagents, consumables and waste while the system is operating, providing uninterrupted assay processing
- intelligent sample management and hardware enhancements to improve workflow and turnaround time
- use of the MicroSensor automated sample integrity capability to perform sample quality indices checks (a first time ever on an immunoassay system)
Other abstracts evaluated the Ferritin assay on the VITROS 3600 and the development of the automated HIV assay for use on both Systems.
