Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc. (Waltham, MA; USA) is presenting its dynamic range of products at AACC 2023 that can help laboratories maximize productivity and innovation. In addition, Thermo Fisher is hosting industry-leading workshops where experts will be discussing the company’s latest innovations for preeclampsia testing with its new biomarkers PlGF and sFlt-1 that can help manage preeclampsia and neuroendocrine tumors.
During this session, Thermo Fisher is presenting two new product offers. The first is a new direct RT-qPCR system that can be used to amplify nucleic acid from inhibitor-enriched samples. The latest data demonstrates new reagents and workflow conditions that work best on saliva and serum samples. Second, the company will discuss the new Invitrogen Lyo-ready Bst DNA Polymerase for RT-LAMP isothermal amplification. This best-in-class enzyme demonstrates the highest speed, sensitivity, and resistance to inhibitor performance in LAMP reactions. Together, the Invitrogen Lyo-ready SuperScript IV Reverse Transcriptase and Invitrogen Lyo-ready RNaseOUT RNase Inhibitors offer the fastest solution for pathogen diagnostics using RT-LAMP.
At AACC 2023, Thermo Fisher is offering live demonstrations of its Indiko and Indiko Plus clinical and specialty chemistry analyzers that are easy-to-use, cost-effective, and designed for load-up and walk-away convenience. An intuitive user interface and many automated features help labs manage their daily workflow. These self-contained analyzers have small footprints and fit well in laboratories with space limitations. Thermo Fisher is also demonstrating the Applied Biosystems QuantStudio 5 Dx Real-Time PCR System and Applied Biosystems QuantStudio 7 Pro Dx Real-Time PCR System. Thermo Fisher is also offering live demonstrations of its new Diomni Enterprise software which combines instruments, assays, and consumables to streamline workflow from samples to clinical results.
