System's Innovative Design and Ease-of-Use Will Streamline Laboratory Workflow

Luminex Corporation announced it will unveil its new sample-to-answer system for infectious disease testing, ARIES™ at the European Congress of Clinical Microbiology and Infectious Diseases (ECCMID). ARIES' scalable throughput, easy to use design, and networked data management software will deliver rapid results with a simple workflow.

The five assay launch menu targeted for the ARIES system will include: Flu A/B and RSV, HSV 1&2, Norovirus and Clostridium difficile (C. diff). Future menu items will be announced at a later date.

"ARIES will revolutionize molecular diagnostic testing with a system that integrates seamlessly into the laboratory," said Russell W. Bradley, senior vice president, corporate development and global marketing. "Enabling laboratories to produce faster results, and better manage their QC and compliance requirements can increase service levels to hospitals and doctors for improved patient care."

The unveiling will take place at the European Congress of Clinical Microbiology and Infectious Diseases (ECCMID) May 11, 2014 at 11am CEST, booth #23. Russell W. Bradley will introduce the innovative sample-to-answer system, ARIES, and give a short demonstration.

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.
