New Automated Immunoassay System to launch at FOCUS 2013

bioMérieux, a world leader in the field of in vitro diagnostics, will showcase the new VIDAS® 3 automated immunoassay system at this year’s ACB FOCUS Exhibition. This event, from the 15th to 18th of April, will give visitors the opportunity to explore the increased automation capabilities and greater traceability offered by the latest generation of the VIDAS platform.

VIDAS 3 has been designed to help healthcare professionals meet the new challenges of a rapidly changing regulatory and economic environment. The user-friendly system enables laboratories to carry out on-demand testing 24 hours a day, improving assay performance and turnaround times for both routine and urgent tests. It provides accurate and reliable results, using the same reagents as the other instruments in the VIDAS range, with over 98 tests currently available.

The system features an intuitive, customisable touch screen interface and includes a built-in quality control program to simplify day-to-day performance monitoring. In association with bioMerieux’s myQC quality control product, this will enable laboratories to compare their results with those of hundreds of other laboratories, helping to ensure a rapid and reliable response to clinicians’ requests.
