Technopath Clinical Diagnostics (Tipperary, Ireland) showcased its third party quality controls and quality control software solutions at the 2021 AACC Annual Scientific Meeting & Clinical Lab Expo held at the Georgia World Congress Center in Atlanta, September 26-30.
The event allowed more than 400 exhibiting companies to showcase the latest product innovations, emerging technologies, and research, and provided the opportunity to browse exhibitors in person for the solutions to lab related needs.
Technopath is one of the largest manufacturers of liquid-ready Quality Control globally in compliance with the highest quality standards. At AACC 2021, the company highlighted Multichem, its class leading third party consolidated Quality Control product range which incorporates a greater number of analytes to enable extensive test menu and control product consolidation. The Multichem IA+ control, for example, allows consolidation of the company’s competitors’ immunoassay, cardiac marker, tumor marker and specialty immunoassay controls into one control. This consolidation allows laboratories to simplify their inventory, reduce costs and improve efficiencies.
For instance, Multichem ID-COVID19 controls are the essential independent quality controls designed to test the precision of assays for antibodies IgG and IgM to SARS-CoV-2, to allow clinical laboratories to release patient results with confidence. The company also exhibited its flagship chemistry product, Multichem S Plus (S for Serum) which consolidates over 100 analytes in to a single product. Also on display was Technopath's leading diabetes product, Multichem A1c, which is a third party QC for hemoglobin A1c. Other products displayed at the event included flagship immunoassay product is Multichem IA Plus which consolidates over 90 analytes in to a single product and can replace up to four competitor products in the lab; and its leading urine chemistry control is Multichem U which provides a single product to cover the majority of standard urine chemistry assays, including Microalbumin, which some competitors provide a separate QC product for.
Alomgside its Multichem quality control product range, Technopath also demonstrated its IAMQC Software which provides laboratory managers and technologists with a range of QC software tools to analyze their QC results in real-time. IAMQC Software tools allow users to automate, centralize, standardize and improve QC processes in a laboratory setting. A combination of modules satisfies the varying levels of QC requirements in individual laboratories and are easily tailored to meet different QC management expectations.
