Product news

Laboratory diagnostics of human bocavirus 1 (HBoV1) infections is usually based on highly sensitive PCR methods. HBoV1 however is often found in clinically healthy subjects and its presence does not necessarily make it the cause of respiratory infection. This poster demonstrates the evaluation of the newly developed HBoV1 antigen test applying the two-photon excitation assay technique (mariPOC platform).

mariPOC® Point-of-Care Diagnostics System

ArcDia International Oy Ltd

What is the mariPOC® point-of-care diagnostics system? A new point-of-care test system for respiratory tract infections First test system in the market for multianalyte POC testing Automated random-access antigen detection test For nasopharyngeal swab samples and aspirates, and for throat swabs IVD-CE marked Why to choose mariPOC® for respiratory tract infection diagnostics? Accuracy similar to central laboratory antigen tests Easy-to-use and short hands-on-time. The first result available in 20 minutes Automated results read-out Replaces conventional rapid and laboratory antigen tests Can be connected to laboratory information systems What does the mariPOC® point-of-care diagnostics system allow? Pathogen-specific diagnosis on time Accurate use of virus-specific drugs and antimicrobials In-patient cohorting Efficient control of patient flow Improved cost-effectiveness

MicrobiologyMicrobiology is the study of microorganisms including protists, prokaryotes, fungi, and, often, viruses. Microorganisms are a useful research tool as genetic vectors and, in immunology, for antibiotic susceptibility testing, cellular biology and genetics. Microorganisms commonly grow readily in incubators with microbial culture media; this can contain chromogenic supplements to differentiate between cell lines. Estimate your culture’s density of microorganisms with colony counters, or screen and select colonies for desirable clones with automated colony pickers. Additionally, equipment is available to monitor environments for the presence of microbes and identify with microbial identification instruments.

Immunology kits and analysis systems often use techniques such as ELISA, radioimmunoassay (RIA) and immunodiffusion assays, Immunohistochemistry, and flow cytometry. Immunologists use equipment such as flow Cytometers, plate readers, plate washers and fluorescent microscopes.Clinical MicrobiologyMicrobiology is the study of microorganisms including protists, prokaryotes, fungi, and, often, viruses.
