Sysmex America, Inc., a global leader in medical diagnostic testing equipment and information systems technology, exhibited during the American Association for Clinical Chemistry (AACC) Annual Meeting and Clinical Lab Expo in Chicago, July 27 through July 31, 2014.

“We are extremely excited to exhibit at AACC this year, because it’s a tremendous opportunity to interact with our customers and continue the dialogue on how to best meet the needs of laboratories and their patients,” said John Kershaw, President and Chief Executive Officer, Sysmex America, Inc. “It is also an opportunity to share the ways we continue to evolve with the industry - because the laboratory environment never stands still, and neither do we.”

Moving Forward – New Product Offerings

At AACC, Sysmex America introduced new product offerings that address the ever changing needs of the laboratory.

We have much to offer the industry today, and not just in the future,” said Kershaw. “It’s a chance for us to demonstrate that we deliver, and we deliver in the present. In the past few years at AACC, there has been a progression of timely solutions we offer, and this year is no different in showing how we continue to move forward.”

“We are not just offering instruments; we are offering peace of mind,” continued Kershaw. “When a laboratory works with Sysmex, it is not just buying a dependable product; they are also getting a company that is fully committed to consistently adapt and evolve with them as their environment changes. Our focus goes beyond an analyzer; it is providing peace of mind now and for the future.”
