New Immunoassay Analyzer Introduced at 2016 AACC Annual Meeting

The recently renamed medical instrument manufacturer Siemens Healthineers (Erlangen, Germany) chose the July 31 - August 4, 2016, AACC Annual Meeting & Clinical Lab Expo (Philadelphia, PA, USA) as the venue for introducing its new Atellica Solution automated immunoassay and clinical chemical analyzer system.

In May 2016, Siemens Healthcare changed its name to Healthineers, a name that embodied the company’s pioneering spirit and engineering expertise in the healthcare industry. It is unique and bold name and gives a new identity to the organization and to its employees who serve and inspire healthcare providers worldwide.

One of Healthineers' dynamic new products is the Atellica Solution. This highly flexible immunoassay and clinical chemistry solution features patented bi-directional magnetic sample-transport technology that allows the system to operate 10 faster than conventional conveyors. The platform boasts a multi-camera vision system and intelligent sample routing that allows independent control over every sample from routine assays to STATs.

Atellica Solution, which can handle more than 30 sample container types including pediatric and special containers, can be used as a stand- alone instrument, or it can be scaled up to 10 components with more than 300 customizable configurations. The system supports remote-access monitoring and control, which maximizes instrument uptime, with a broad and expanding assay menu using proven detection technologies.

"We engineered the Atellica Solution based on our customers' needs and extensive research of market trends," said Franz Walt, president of laboratory diagnostics at Siemens Healthineers. "The result is a game-changer that delivers control and simplicity, so our customers can focus on driving better business and clinical outcomes and spend less time managing operations."

The Atellica Solution is currently being evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration and is not yet available in the United States.
