Industry news

DNAe, the inventor of semiconductor-based genomic analysis technologies, and the developer of a new game-changing test for bloodstream infections that can lead to sepsis, has announced that new data will be presented on its LiDia® Bloodstream Infection (BSI) test1,2 at the 28th European Congress of Clinical Microbiology and Infectious Diseases (ECCMID), in Madrid, Spain, April 21-24, 2018.

A demonstration of the blood-to-result workflow for LiDia® BSI will be previewed at DNAe’s booth at ECCMID.

Dr Steve Allen, CEO of DNAe Group Holdings, commented: “ECCMID comes at a pivotal time in our journey to bring this vital rapid diagnostic test to market. We are pleased to present key data and look forward to reaching more of the infectious disease community at the event this year. The congress gives us an excellent opportunity to showcase the LiDia® BSI closed cartridge-based test for the first time to a wide clinical audience at our stand, and to demonstrate its potential to support faster and more informed treatment of sepsis.”

Details of the poster presentation are as follows

Data AnalysisData analysis hardware and software is available to make data processing straight-forward yet powerful. Data software can be used for math and stats, technical graphing and image analysis. In addition, software is available for specific data analysis of electrophoresis, densitometry, ELISA and DNA sequencing.Sample ManagementSample management systems include sample storage devices such as freezers and plate storers, sample environment enclosures and sample organization, retrieval and sorter systems. Useful system features include high-throughput, automation, robotic arms, automated liquid handling and associated database systems. Accessories in sample management include barcode scanners, heat sealers and tubes.HematologyIn Haematology / Hematology, complete blood cell counts (or full blood counts) are obtained using automated blood count analyzers to enumerate blood cell types.  Hematology also encompasses haemostasis and coagulation, thrombophilia and hemophilia, plasma viscosity and ESR analysis, hemoglobinopathies, cell morphology and haematinic measurement.Robotic InstrumentsRobotic instruments can be used for high-throughput automation of many lab processes. Such processes use instruments for assays like cell based assays and ELISA, for sample preparation like shakers, centrifuges and incubators, and for analysis such as sequencing and western blot analyzers. Useful features of robotic instruments include speed, reproducibility, barcode readers, software and automation.Robotic WorkstationsRobotic workstations are automated platforms enabling the user to perform high-throughput, multi-application processes, from sample preparation tasks such as PCR set-up, DNA purification and NGS library preparation, to integrated sample prep and analysis workstations. Automation makes processes consistent, fast, precise and fully walk-away. Find the best robotic workstations in our peer-reviewed product directory: compare products, check customer reviews and receive pricing direct from manufacturers.Software PlatformsSoftware platforms are useful for various stages of laboratory experiments from data collection to data storage and processing. For instance lab software is available for system control, data management, data analysis and qualification / validation.ECCMIDPathogen DetectionPathogen detection is the process of identifying harmful microorganisms, including bacteria, viruses, and fungi, that can cause diseases. Accurate pathogen detection is critical for food safety, public health, and clinical diagnostics. Explore pathogen detection products in our peer-reviewed product directory; compare products, check reviews, and get pricing directly from manufacturers.Clinical AutomationClinical laboratory automation refers to the use of automated systems in clinical laboratories to increase efficiency, reduce human error, and improve patient care. From sample analysis to total laboratory automation, this plays a critical role in modern diagnostics and laboratory workflows.
