Beckman Coulter Diagnostics (Brea, CA, USA) is unveiling the new DxC 500 AU, an automated clinical chemistry analyzer, at Medlab Middle East in Dubai, taking place February 5-8, 2024. The DxC 500 AU chemistry analyzer is one of several recent solutions designed by the company to address the complete needs of healthcare systems that are looking to complement central hub laboratories by advancing the technology and capabilities of satellite and independent hospital laboratories.
The DxC 500 AU chemistry analyzer features advanced automation technology, onboard guided workflows, and standardized reagents for use across healthcare networks. Its menu of more than 120 assays has been independently and objectively verified for high-quality Six Sigma performance, supporting confidence in clinical results, and reducing QC troubleshooting and lab operational costs. The DxC 500 AU chemistry analyzer is for in vitro diagnostic use only and is available throughout North America and the Middle East with global commercial availability planned for March 2024.
"Healthcare systems around the world are strategically adopting hub-and-spoke models for better efficiency and healthcare access," said Kathleen Orland, Senior Vice President, Business Unit, General Manager, Chemistry and Immunoassay for Beckman Coulter Diagnostics. "Hub-and-spoke clinical laboratory models optimize resources to improve access to testing services and enhance overall standardization for quality testing and positive impact on inventory and cost management across a health system. The new DxC 500 AU Chemistry Analyzer advances capabilities of spoked labs with a broad menu of high-quality assays that deliver consistent, commutable results across Beckman Coulter's AU clinical chemistry systems, positively impacting clinical decision-making and patient outcomes."
