The Sysmex Corporation, the global leader in hematology, can look back on an extremely successful EuroMedLab 2015. Introducing its new series of analyzers, the XN-L series, proved a resounding success with vast interest at its often overly full booth. Its strategy to make Sysmex quality hematology available for all was clearly well received.

The fact that Sysmex now has expertise in far more than hematology was clearly evidenced by the range of solutions on its booth. With products ranging from essential healthcare (for HIV/AIDS monitoring, TB and malaria), through point of care, urinalysis and hemostasis, the company is clearly making true on its mission to shape the advancement of healthcare. As at last year’s IFCC in Istanbul, GLP systems’ game-changing intelligent lab automation solutions, for which the company has exclusive distribution rights, were yet again an eye-catching favorite. A fun part of the booth allowed customers to have their photo taken in a Beuchet Chair, illustrating the company’s theme of the event: Changing Perspectives.

Rikke Rytter, Director of Integrated Marketing at Sysmex Europe: “We were truly delighted with the reception we received at what is the year’s top IVD trade fair. We knew that making XN technology available was a wish of many of our customers, but we did not envision such a resounding response. It was also great to see that we are making a name for ourselves in our other areas of expertise, as the booth staff representing those products were equally busy as our hematology experts. We’re really excited with our progress, especially thanks to our recent acquisitions of Sysmex Partec, Sysmex Inostics and our distribution rights for GLP. We hope to serve many more customers by delivering solutions that integrate our expertise and allow us to focus on our mission of shaping the advancement of healthcare – ultimately always with the patient in mind. We consider it our job to change perspectives in healthcare for the better, and after this week’s event feel that we are well on our way.”

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.Hematology Point of CarePoint of Care SolutionsPoint of care solutions provide medical diagnostics and treatments at or near the site of patient care. These technologies offer rapid results, helping healthcare providers make quick decisions. From glucose monitors to molecular diagnostics, point of care solutions are transforming healthcare delivery by reducing wait times and improving patient outcomes. Explore the best point of care products in our peer-reviewed product directory, compare options, check reviews, and get pricing directly from manufacturers.Hematology SolutionsHematology solutions involve diagnostic tests and equipment used to analyze blood samples and diagnose blood disorders such as anemia, leukemia, and hemophilia. These tools include automated full blood count analyzers, reagents, and digital morphology systems. Explore hematology solutions in our peer-reviewed product directory; compare products, check reviews, and get pricing directly from manufacturers.HIV and AIDSBlood tests are the most common way to identify and monitor HIV and AIDS. Current methods include ELISA, Western blot, RT-PCR viral load and CD4/8 testing. Areas for development include point-of-care assays for use in developing countries, and self-testing ‘at home’ HIV kits.IFCC EUROMEDLABUrineThe analysis of urine is important in medicinal, anti-doping, forensic and life sciences applications. The ability to evaluate what someone has ingested through their urine enables fast detection and diagnosis of certain illnesses.
