Beckman Coulter (Brea, CA, USA) demonstrated its dedication to advancing and optimizing the lab at the 2013 American Association of Clinical Chemistry (AACC) and Clinical Lab Expo in Houston (TX, USA) from July 30–August 1, 2013.
The Beckman Coulter exhibition booth showcased the company’s latest products in total lab automation, scalable solutions, and small footprint systems, including the new Power Express automation solution which streamlines lab workflow and increases flexibility to ultimately decrease turnaround time. The Power Link, also demonstrated, offers labs the ability to combine an AU680 chemistry analyzer with a DxI immunoassay analyzer to form an entry level automated workcell.
Moreover, the latest addition of the IRIS Diagnostics (Chatsworth, CA, USA) urinalysis portfolio and presentations on the company’s newest troponin I assay, AccuTnI+3 on the Access 2 immunoassay system was demonstrated.
Attendees were given opportunities to view Beckman Coulter's newest cellular analysis systems, high-throughput chemistry analyzers, and clinical information solutions in a unique booth design that exhibits the company’s lab automation for the core, reference, and community hospital lab.
Visitors to Beckman Coulter’s booth have the opportunity to learn from industry experts how the company’s latest diagnostic innovations advance and optimize patient care and hear examples of how Beckman Coulter moves the lab forward by increasing efficiency, productivity, and uptime.
