Product News: Streck and Diesse to Introduce the MINI-CUBE at 2016 AACC Annual Meeting in Philadelphia, August 2-4, 2016

Streck, Inc., a developer and manufacturer of clinical laboratory products, and Diesse Diagnostica Senese S.p.A., an Italian manufacturer of in vitro diagnostic systems, are introducing the Diesse MINI-CUBE at the AACC Annual Scientific Meeting & Clinical Lab Expo in Philadelphia, August 2-4, 2016. The MINI-CUBE is the industry’s newest automated instrument for erythrocyte sedimentation rate testing in EDTA tubes.

The Diesse MINI-CUBE offers convenience, accuracy and safety – all in a small bench top footprint. The instrument produces ESR results directly from EDTA tubes without consuming the patient sample. The closed testing system reduces exposure to potentially infectious materials and eliminates biohazardous liquid waste. Random access improves lab work flow as no batching is required. Results are available in 20 minutes and automatically print and transmit to LIS. The MINI-CUBE has a greater than 95% correlation to the Modified Westergren method. A barcode scanner ensures positive patient identification.

Streck will be the exclusive distributor of the Diesse MINI-CUBE in the United States and Canada. Established in 1971, Streck develops and manufactures products for clinical and research laboratories. Streck’s passion for innovation, quality and service has allowed the organization to become a world leader in the development of quality control and diagnostic products that help laboratories ensure accurate and timely results for patients.
