ADVIA chemistry reagents

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 non-concentrated 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.
