Product news

Beckman Coulter Diagnostics, a global leader in the clinical diagnostics industry, has announced it will exhibit its “Smart Workflow Solutions for Better Patient Care,” at the 27th European Congress of Clinical Microbiology and Infectious Diseases (ECCMID) in Vienna, Austria, 22 – 25 April 2017.

Beckman Coulter is committed to partnering with laboratory professionals to achieve operational excellence and clinical value by providing an integrated solution of tools, insights, information management systems, and continuous process improvements—it’s called the Beckman Coulter Diagnostics Difference. At ECCMID, Beckman Coulter will showcase molecular diagnostics, microbiology and urinalysis systems and workflows designed to accelerate testing and improve laboratory efficiency.

Among the solutions featured, visitors to booth #6 will learn about:

  • Enhancing the laboratory’s molecular testing workflow using DxN VERIS Molecular Diagnostics System* and VERIS assays
  • Detecting emerging resistance as it happens with the DxM MicroScan WalkAway System
  • Reducing manual microscopy to improve productivity via the iRICELL Urinalysis system
  • Implementing a solution for procalcitonin testing using AU clinical chemistry

In addition to its display of products and services, Beckman Coulter is sponsoring two scientific symposiums, designed to advance clinical excellence in the laboratory:

Impact of New Treatments on Viral Load Monitoring and Patient Management

New anti-viral drugs come to market on a regular basis, continuously transforming viral infection management. This two-hour symposium takes a deep dive into this dynamic landscape, focusing primarily on hepatitis viral infections. Renowned clinicians will show how new treatments, in conjunction with the close monitoring of patients’ viral loads, are improving care in both the European Union and Egypt.

Date: Saturday, 22 April

Time: 16:30 to 18:30

Speakers: Valeria Micheli, MD, Ph.D., Slim Fourati, MD, Ph.D., Ossama Khalafallah, MD, Ph.D, Massimo Puoti, M.D., and Duncan Whittaker

New Challenges for Microbiology Laboratories in Antibiotic Susceptibility Testing

Emerging antimicrobial resistance has become a critical issue in today’s healthcare environment. Once outliers, resistant microbes are now considered routine. Microbiology laboratories have had to evolve in response, finding new ways to test for resistant strains. This symposium examines the central role susceptibility testing plays in the microbiology laboratory. Experts will discuss emerging resistance in Gram-negative bacteria, how MIC contributes to tailoring therapeutic decisions and the challenges laboratories must overcome to detect resistance during routine testing.

Date: Monday, 24 April

Time: 16:00 to 18:00

Speakers: Pr. Dr. Sören Gatermann, Pr. Rafael Canton, Pr. David Livermore, Pr. Barbara Zimmer

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.Clinical MicrobiologyMicrobiology is the study of microorganisms including protists, prokaryotes, fungi, and, often, viruses. Microorganisms are a useful research tool as genetic vectors and, in immunology, for antibiotic susceptibility testing, cellular biology and genetics. Microorganisms commonly grow readily in incubators with microbial culture media; this can contain chromogenic supplements to differentiate between cell lines. Estimate your culture’s density of microorganisms with colony counters, or screen and select colonies for desirable clones with automated colony pickers. Additionally, equipment is available to monitor environments for the presence of microbes and identify with microbial identification instruments.
