Cholesterol Introduced to Concentrated Reagent Chemistry Portfolio

The chemistry concentrated reagents offer up to 3060 tests per wedge, whilst giving identical results to conventional Advia nonconcentrated reagents.

Siemens Healthcare (Erlangen, Germany) introduced the concentrated cholesterol reagent--the 15th Advia chemistry reagent in a concentrated format. Concentrated reagent wedges liberate space on the reagent carousel, allowing laboratories to extend testing repertoire. The consolidation of tests onto the high throughput routine Advia chemistry analyzer is the factor that reduces the 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 at Siemens Healthcare Diagnostics.

The Siemens Healthcare sector is one of the world's largest suppliers to the healthcare industry and a trendsetter in laboratory diagnostics, medical imaging, medical information technology, and hearing aids. By optimizing clinical workflows for the most common diseases, the company makes healthcare faster, better, and more cost-effective.
