A small, simple to use basic immunoassay analyzer designed for point-of-care (POC) settings is available for inspection in the Thermo Fisher Scientific (Fremont, CA, USA) Booth 2145 at the 2016 AACC Annual Meeting & Clinical Lab Expo (Philadelphia, PA, USA).

The Samsung LABGEO IB10 chemistry analyzer is the result of the partnership between Samsung (Suwon, South Korea) and Thermo Fisher Scientific.

The LABGEO IB10 is a small, simple to use basic immunoassay analyzer designed for POC settings. It was designed to measure TnI, D-Dimer, NT-proBNP, Myoglobulin, CK-MB, TSH, HCG, and PCT (Procalcitonin) within 20 minutes from a single use cartridge. Each cartridge includes calibration data, lot number, analyte listing, and expiration data.

The broad menu, short turn around time, and simplicity of the LABGEOIB10 make it ideal for satellite laboratories, physician offices, remote locations, and other settings where speed and convenience can improve productivity and patient compliance to treatment goals.
