We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Clinical Chemistry",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Laboratorytalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Biochip makes early detection of heart attack from
Randox Laboratories, which we summarised at the time by saying "Randox's Cardiac Array biochip combines the gold standard marker troponin with novel early markers such as FABP to enable an early myocardial infarction assessment at 3-6 hours after a
coronary event".
Earlier in the week,
we featured the news release Clinical chemistry analyser has many attributes from
Randox Laboratories: "With a large test menu and time-saving, labour-saving and cost-saving capabilities beyond other benchtop analysers on the market, the RX Daytona should be an attractive and space-saving system".
In January 2008, we covered the news from Randox Laboratories
- take a look at Unravelling cerebrovascular disease
which says: "New tests are now available to help researchers unravel the complexities of cerebrovascular disease and other neurological disorders".
Take a look also at the news release from Randox Laboratories, Complete package for assay development is online,
as well as External evaluation endorses AU-connector from Olympus Life Science Europa,
and International company of the year title for Randox from Randox Laboratories.
