Beckman Coulter (Brea, CA, USA) displayed multidisciplinary instruments organized by size and workflow needs in its state-of-the-art 3D showrooms at the all virtual 2020 AACC Annual Scientific Meeting.
Visitors to Beckman’s virtual showcase of laboratory solutions experienced the company’s line of instruments and automation that are specially designed to elevate the performance of low-, medium- and high-volume laboratories. Beckman demonstrated how laboratories of all sizes can elevate their performance and advance patient care through the power automation and clinical informatics. The company demonstrated its robust portfolio of WorkflowConnect, WorkflowAdvanced, and WorkflowCommand automation solutions that are designed to meet the needs of small-, mid- and high-volume laboratories.
WorkflowConnect solutions are designed for peak efficiency and accuracy to optimize resources, while being cost-effective. The company’s WorkflowAdvance solution with the DxA 5000 Fit introduces a fundamentally improved approach to diagnostic workflow by delivering compact, intelligent automation that fits in any laboratory. Similarly, Beckman’s WorkflowCommand solutions are intelligently designed for powerful performance, ensuring continued operational efficiency and throughput needed for serving large and evolving patient populations
In addition to Beckman’s virtual showcase of laboratory solutions, visitors at the company’s virtual booth were also able to view on-demand scientific sessions on its latest innovations in sepsis testing.
