Specific proteins in clinical chemistry

Expansion of the specific protein assay menu will enable laboratories to consolidate virtually all of their clinical chemistry workloads on to a single automated testing platform

Bayer Diagnostics has added five new methods to its menu of specific protein assays for use on the high throughput Advia 2400 clinical chemistry system.

Methods for rheumatoid factor, Alpha-1 antitrypsin, Anti-streptolysin O, CRP wide range, and Prealbumin are now available, thus allowing users to extend the benefits of high throughput automation to these specialist tests.

Expansion of the specific protein assay menu reflects Bayer's continued commitment towards menu completion for the Advia 2400 clinical chemistry system, the company says.

In turn this will enable laboratories to consolidate virtually all of their clinical chemistry workloads on to a single automated testing platform.

Processing up to 2400 tests per hour, the Advia 2400 now offers an extensive assay menu, but still makes available 62 of its 100 channels for user-defined applications.

Its use of micro-volume technology ensures maximum operating efficiency for both sample and reagents in a range of settings from specialist paediatrics to general chemistry.
