Beckman Coulter Launches Newest Version of Remisol Advance at AACC

By LabMedica International staff writers
Posted on 01 Aug 2013

Beckman Coulter, Inc. (Brea, CA, USA) has released the newest, most advanced version of Remisol Advance data management system, v1.7. This software product streamlines laboratory workflow and the management process with improved sample tracking, results archiving, and consolidation of patient test information from multiple instruments in the lab or from multiple labs in the hospital network.

Remisol Advance v1.7 unifies data management by featuring a 166% increase in sample data processing throughput and a 122% increase in sample data storage from the previous version. It helps optimize lab operations by improving results reporting turnaround times, and standardizing laboratory workflow. The new version features increased device connectivity—up to 128 instruments can now be connected to a single server. The lab may connect to Beckman Coulter analyzers as well as selected third-party instruments.

"Remisol Advance v1.7 offers scalability, security, and standardization across the lab enterprise offering benefits such as multisite connectivity, modules to support lab operations and now, third-party connectivity," said Erik Johnson, Beckman Coulter Diagnostics, director, Automation and Informatics Product Management.

Remisol Advance offers an optional Extended Quality Control (EQC) module, which enhances the laboratory quality control process even further, and features intuitive step-by-step creation of protocols.

This new version of Remisol Advance v1.7 was demonstrated at the 2013 AACC annual meeting held in Houston (TX, USA), from July 28–August 1, 2013
