Randox is proud to present two workshops at AACC: “Lp(a) 50th Anniversary: Clinical Significance and Assay Evaluation” and “Rapid Detection of Designer Drugs within the Routine Laboratory.” Both of these workshops promise to deliver an in-depth discussion on the latest developments within their respective diagnostic areas. Randox will also host no fewer than 11 scientific poster presentations throughout the course of the event.

On show will be a range of our products, including the RX series of clinical chemistry analyzers and quality control material which ensures the utmost accuracy in your laboratory’s results. As well as these ever popular products, we shall be showcasing some of our newest arrivals such as:

• RX daytona+ a fully automated, random access, bench top clinical chemistry analyzer which is capable of performing both routine and specialized testing as well as emergency STAT sampling. The daytona+ can perform up to 270 photometric tests per hour, and up to 450 including ISE.

• Liquid BNP Control designed for use in the monitoring of accuracy and precision. Values and ranges are provided for a wide range of instruments including Beckman Access, Abbott Architect and Siemens Advia Centaur.

• Acusera 24.7 Live Online an inter-laboratory data management software and peer group reporting package. Updated every 24 hours, Acusera 24.7 Live Online enables laboratories to monitor analytical performance, access peer group reports and compare results with other laboratories using the same quality controls - often the same method and instrument.

Randox will be located at booth #3245 during AACC 2013.

Randox Life Sciences will also be in attendance at nearby booth #3225. Randox Life Sciences provides high-quality, consistent antibodies and other biochemical reagents required in the commercial production of world-leading diagnostic reagents.

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.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 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.AACCThe American Association for Clinical Chemistry (AACC) Annual Meeting and Clinical Lab Expo is the largest meeting for clinical laboratory professionals in the world. This year's meeting is being held in Atlanta, USA, July 26th-30th, 2015.
