Product news

The Diatron Group, global provider of hematology and clinical chemistry analyzers, will display their new 3-part differential hematology analyzer (60 test /hour throughput) to the laboratory world for the first time in Dusseldorf, Germany, at Medica 2015 on the 16-19 November. This innovative analyzer has been specially designed to provide unique solutions to the many needs of the rapidly evolving worldwide hematology markets.

This small analyzer has low reagent consumption (<10ml), requires only a small sample size (10ul) and has an on-board reagent pack** (sufficient for circa 200 measurements). These key features focused on reducing footprint, will allow the analyzer to be used many situations which includes small laboratories and point of care environments. In addition, the low reagent consumption and on-board reagent pack ensure that the shipping of reagents will be much easier and will benefit from significant cost reductions.

The newly developed analyzer requires little bench space but will feature a large touch screen, an intuitive user interface, an optional back-up battery pack and extended connectivity options.

The system is expected to launch in early 2016, please visit booth 3A 07 at Medica to learn more.

HematologyIn Haematology / Hematology, complete blood cell counts (or full blood counts) are obtained using automated blood count analyzers to enumerate blood cell types.  Hematology also encompasses haemostasis and coagulation, thrombophilia and hemophilia, plasma viscosity and ESR analysis, hemoglobinopathies, cell morphology and haematinic measurement.Point-of-CarePoint-of-Care Testing (POCT) or Near Patient Testing (NPT) products are available for urine, blood and other clinical chemistry analyses. POCT includes: blood glucose testing, blood gas and electrolytes analysis, rapid coagulation testing (PT / INR), rapid cardiac markers diagnostics, drugs of abuse screening, urine strips testing, pregnancy testing, fecal occult blood analysis, food pathogens screening, hemoglobin diagnostics, infectious disease testing and cholesterol screening.Clinical ChemistryBiochemistry (or clinical chemistry) involves the analysis of bodily fluids using chemical tests. Techniques used include HPLC, chromatography, spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, immunochemical, electrophoresis, turbidometric / spectrophotometric assay, MRI and ISE analysis. Tests are often carried out on plasma or serum but urine (urinalysis) and fecal specimens are also processed.Hematology SolutionsHematology solutions involve diagnostic tests and equipment used to analyze blood samples and diagnose blood disorders such as anemia, leukemia, and hemophilia. These tools include automated full blood count analyzers, reagents, and digital morphology systems.
