Specific protein methods for clinical chemistry

Systems are designed to meet the requirements of busy laboratories that are under pressure to process ever-increasing numbers of tests while maximising cost-effectiveness

Bayer Diagnostics has added two new methods to its menu of specific protein assays for use on the high throughput Advia 1650 and Advia 2400 chemistry systems.

Methods for Complement C3 and C4 are now being offered alongside IgA, IgG, IgM, Rheumatoid Factor, Apolipoprotein A1, Apolipoprotein B, Transferrin, Alpha-1 Antitrypsin, Anti-Streptolysin O, CRP and CRP Wide Range on both systems, enabling users to extend the benefits of high throughput automation to these specialist tests.

By automating many of the most time-consuming activities associated with handling and analysing blood and urine samples, the systems also free highly-trained laboratory staff to use their skills in different, more productive ways.

Expansion of the specific protein assay menu reflects Bayer's commitment to method development for the two systems, which now enable laboratories to consolidate virtually all of their clinical chemistry workloads on to a single automated testing platform.
