Reduced Turnaround Times and Increased Productivity for High Throughput Labs
Apr 27 2010
Siemens Healthcare Diagnostics has introduced concentrated Cholesterol, the 15th ADVIA® Chemistry reagent in concentrated format. ADVIA Chemistry concentrated reagents offer up to 3060 tests per wedge, whilst still giving identical results to the conventional ADVIA nonconcentrated reagents. This increased capacity is of particular benefit to high throughput laboratories, extending processing time and increasing laboratory productivity.
Concentrated reagent wedges liberate space on the reagent carousel, allowing laboratories to extend testing repertoire. This consolidation of tests onto high throughput routine ADVIA Chemistry reduces turnaround times and increases the laboratory’s processing efficiency.
“Fast and predictable turnaround times are both essential requirements of pathology services in the UK,” said Ibti Rashid, Product Manager for Clinical Chemistry at Siemens Healthcare Diagnostics. “Concentrated ADVIA Chemistry reagents offer increased capacity and consolidation power for high throughput laboratories. This allows laboratories to be more productive and efficient, facilitating faster and more predictable turnaround times.”
The increased number of tests per wedge with concentrated reagents reduces the staff time required to place reagent orders, check in and unpack deliveries. The reduced number of kits required also means less plastic wedges and cardboard boxes to discard. This reduction in laboratory waste will have a positive impact on both the financial and environmental aspects of hospital waste management.
