Leading laboratory experts, scientists, researchers and clinicians converged at the three-day event to exchange and share their experiences and research results on all aspects of laboratory medicine and clinical research while companies showcased the latest innovations, products and cutting-edge technologies available in the IVD, medical laboratory and healthcare market. Among the exhibitors at the event was Siemens Healthineers, which displayed its Atellica range of flexible and scalable automation-ready immunoassay and chemistry analyzers, fully-automated high-volume coagulation system, and automated urinalysis system.
At MEDLAB Middle East 2018, Siemens exhibited its Atellica Solution, which is designed to address common clinical laboratory challenges and integrates immunoassay and clinical chemistry analyzers with the new standard in sample-management technology so laboratories can focus on driving better outcomes. Also on display was the company’s Atellica COAG 360 System, a fully automated high volume coagulation analyzer that simplifies lab operations by unifying five methodologies on one platform, streamlines hemostasis workflow through intelligent reagent and consumable management, and delivers infinite possibilities by being the first to integrate LOCI technology in specialty hemostasis testing.
Siemens also showcased the Atellica 1500 Automated Urinalysis System, which combines the CLINITEK Novus Analyzer and the new Atellica UAS 800 Analyzer. The truly digital automated urinalysis system sets new standards for accuracy and efficiency and allows laboratories to manage more samples with less staff in shorter time without compromising on high-quality results. The company also showcased the Atellica MDX 160 Molecular System, which provides innovation in the molecular laboratory by improving workflow and consolidation while providing for flexibility and customization.
Other instruments showcased by Siemens at this year’s MEDLAB Middle East included the Atellica NEPH 630 System, a mid-volume dedicated nephelometric analyzer that simplifies lab operations in specialty protein testing, and the handheld epoc Blood Analysis System which goes wherever patients are located and provides lab-quality results on the spot. Siemens also demonstrated the Atellica PM 1.0 Software, which is the only lab management system that allows the management of laboratory’s processes, including alerts, remote management of instruments, and monitoring of onboard inventory and testing progress—all from one screen.
