Agappe Diagnostics Ltd. (Kerala, India) exhibited its MISPA range of analyzers and solutions at MedLab Middle East held at the Dubai International Convention and Exhibition Centre, Dubai, UAE, from February 4-7, 2019.

Agappe, one of the forerunners in the Indian diagnostics industry, offers the entire range of reagents and equipment, including biochemistry kits, serology kits, immunoturbidimetry kits, specialized kits, coagulation reagents, hematology reagents and system reagents for fully automated clinical chemistry analyzers. At MedLab Middle East, the company displayed its MISPA range of analyzers and solutions, including the MISPA i4 fully automated cartridge based specific protein and specialized chemistry analyzer that offers high precision and quick turnaround results. Mispa i4 is well designed to meet increased workflow efficiency, efficient and simple three-step operation, wide protein & chemistry panel, and high quality results.

Agappe also exhibited its Mispa Label intelligent tube labeling system, a smart & innovative solution for simplified pre-analytics. Ease of use, minimal human error, connectivity and best turnaround time in MISPA LABEL makes it an intelligent system for tube labeling. At MedLab 2019, the company also displayed the MISPA CCXL fully automated clinical chemistry analyzer having a throughput of 240 tests per hour. MISPA CCXL is a logical choice for customers in various segments, ensuring convenience, flexibility, affordability and accuracy.
