Product news

Be among the first to see a new line of products and learn about the latest trends in bleeding disorder management at ISTH booth #30.

Siemens has a long history of providing solutions to enhance operational efficiencies in hemostasis laboratories of all sizes. We continue to focus on your needs and develop products to optimize workflow and provide innovative solutions to your laboratory. Our new products exemplify our commitment to continuous innovation, including solutions for handling unsuitable specimens and the management of bleeding disorders.

INNOVANCE® PFA-200 System*
Assess inherited, acquired, and drug-induced platelet dysfunction in 4 – 8 minutes
• Detects aspirin-induced platelet dysfunction
• Evaluates risk assessment of patients on P2Y12-receptor antagonists
• Uncovers von Willebrand disease (VWD), even Type 1, the most common
• Provides the sensitivity needed to uncover VWD in many women with Menorrhagia

INNOVANCE VWF Ac Assay*
Improve bleeding disorder management by utilizing innovative recombinant platelet receptor technology in the determination of von Willebrand factor activity
• Detects qualitative and quantitative VWF defects
• Excellent reproducibility and high lot-to-lot consistency
• Liquid, ready-to-use reagent
• Long reagent stability―4 weeks after opening
• Available on the BCS® and BCS XP Systems, Sysmex® CS-2000i and CS-2100i Systems, and Sysmex CA-7000, CA-1500, and CA-530 Systems

Sysmex CS-2000i System*
Minimize preanalytical errors with multi-wavelength scanning and sample liquid-sensing technologies
• Automatically manages potentially problematic test samples prior to analysis with PSI® checks
• Detects hemolysis, icterus, and lipemia with a preanalytic scan of patient samples
• Provides assistance by identifying potential inaccuracies caused by improper sample tube collection
• User-programmable settings can flag results based upon an incorrect tube fill volume
• Simultaneous multi-wavelength scans of clot reactions at 340 nm, 405 nm, 575 nm, 660 nm, and 800 nm

Please note: A completely new automated blood analyzer designed for the high-volume coagulation laboratory will be exhibited for the first time!

Blood TransfusionBlood Transfusion involves giving donor blood to a recipient patient. Screening is essential to avoid transfusion reactions. Blood banks use immunohematological techniques to determine rh and ABO blood group, and screen for antibodies using specific antisera. Blood Banks use Direct Coombs Tests (DCT) and Indirect Coombs Tests (IAT) to detect hemolysis and Haemolytic Disease of the Newborn (HDN).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.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.Cellular PathologyCellular Pathology deals with the microscopic analysis of tissue samples and cells. Sample preparation and processing includes fixation, staining, sectioning and slide mounting, using equipment such microtomes and cryostats. In choosing immunohistochemistry and immunocytochemistry kits, consider chromogens, staining method, antibodies, microscopes and imaging.Point-of-CarePoint-of-Care Testing (POCT) or Near Patient Testing (NPT) products are available for urine, blood and other clinical chemistry analyses. POCT includes: blood glucose testing, blood gas and electrolytes analysis, rapid coagulation testing (PT / INR), rapid cardiac markers diagnostics, drugs of abuse screening, urine strips testing, pregnancy testing, fecal occult blood analysis, food pathogens screening, hemoglobin diagnostics, infectious disease testing and cholesterol screening.Clinical TrialsClinical Trials, an essential part of drug discovery process, assess the safety and effectiveness of a new medication or device in the pharmaceutical industry. Clinical Trials are a phased process (Phase 0, Phase I, Phase II, Phase III and Phase IV) which begins after initial preclinical testing.Clinical GeneticsMolecular Genetics covers the analysis of hereditary genetic disease and chromosomal abnormalities. Genetics can be analysed using DNA, RNA, and protein microarrays, PCR, RT PCR and DNA sequencing. Genetic equipment includes genetic workstations, thermal cyclers, cooling blocks and electrophoresis products. Diagnostic kits are used for DNA / RNA extraction and purification.
