Erba Mannheim extends its ongoing commitment to providing high quality, affordable clinical diagnostic solutions to emerging markets labs by unveiling the Erba NEXUS next generation automation solution, at AACC 2019 in Anaheim California.

  • New affordable, modular, mid-scale clinical chemistry, immunoassay and hematology range with sample selection and transport systems, making powerful automation accessible to growing labs
  • Hematology system uses unique combination of ultra-high definition imaging, artificial intelligence (AI) and traditional methods to analyse thousands of blood cells per minute to improve turn-around time
  • Immunoassay system uses high sensitivity CLIA technology with proprietary magnetic bead design with menu of over 100 parameters
  • Chemistry system uses advanced thick-film ISE analysis technology and innovative reagent management to deliver improved workflow and enhanced analytical result quality

Aimed at delivering mid-scale, advanced automation across immunology, clinical chemistry and hematology – the Erba NEXUS range employs advanced technology including AI-based blood cell image analysis, advanced CLIA magnetic beads, thick film ISE analysis and an intuitive sample transport system to deliver affordable modular automation.

“Mid-sized labs need to remain competitive in today’s world of consolidation. Such businesses must streamline workflow, optimise space usage and accelerate turn-around time with high result quality to keep their operations viable. But if they are too small for big automated systems, and too big to keep adding stand-alone autosamplers, what do they do?” Alastair McLeod, Vice President Global Marketing says.

“We developed the NEXUS range to fill this gap, giving mid-scale labs everywhere access to advanced modular automation previously available only from large vendors. With technology specifically designed to improve workflow with high analytical test quality at an affordable price, labs can now confidently invest in a future-proof scalable platform”.

Nikhil Vazirani, Managing Director: “NEXUS is an exciting development based on years of close customer feedback. Our vision is to make total lab automation more common in emerging markets and allow the average mid-sized lab to offer higher quality diagnostics to millions of underserved patients”

Capillary ElectrophoresisCapillary electrophoresis (CE) is used to separate molecules based on charge, size and hydrophobicity. Pressure, voltage or a vacuum is used to introduce the sample to fused silica capillaries. Fluorescence, UV/Vis, UV or diode array detectors are used to visualize components. Types of CE systems include capillary electrochromatography (CEC), capillary zone electrophoresis and capillary gel electrophoresis. Find the best capillary electrophoresis equipment in our peer-reviewed product directory: compare products, check customer reviews and receive pricing direct from manufacturers.ImmunologyImmunological techniques measure and characterize immune responses. 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 ChemistryBiochemistry (or clinical chemistry) involves the analysis of bodily fluids using chemical tests. Techniques used include HPLC, chromatography, spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, immunochemical, electrophoresis, turbidometric / spectrophotometric assay, MRI and ISE analysis. Tests are often carried out on plasma or serum but urine (urinalysis) and fecal specimens are also processed.Next Generation SequencingNext-generation sequencing (NGS), also known as whole-genome sequencing, high-throughput sequencing and massive parallel sequencing, produces and analyses thousands to millions of nucleotide sequences at once. Sequencing systems operate via varying technologies depending on the manufacturer, including sequencing by synthesis, ligation, pyrosequencing, ion semiconductor and single-molecule real-time sequencing. For NGS, library preparation is paramount to successful sequencing. In this section, explore a range of library preparation kits, from targeted, amplicon-based or hybridization-based kits including epigenomic, transcriptomic and genomic workflows to fragmentation kits.
