CHICAGO -- (Business Wire)
Today Siemens Healthcare introduces the ADVIA Chemistry XPT System1
and ADVIA Centaur XPT Immunoassay System2 at the 2014 AACC
Annual Meeting and Clinical Lab Expo, Chicago, July 27-31. The newest in
the company’s portfolio of chemistry and immunoassay instruments for the
central laboratory, these systems are designed to enable continuous and
simple operation, facilitate delivery of high quality, rapid results,
and work seamlessly with automation in high-volume laboratories.
“Faced with ever-increasing workload demands, our customers need
easy-to-use solutions that enhance workflow and quickly provide the
results,” said Franz Walt, CEO, Chemistry, Immunoassay, Automation and
Diagnostics IT Business Unit, Diagnostics Division, Siemens Healthcare.
“The ADVIA Chemistry XPT System and ADVIA Centaur XPT Immunoassay System
are new central laboratory analyzers designed to meet these
requirements.”
Each system features versatile technology that will enable a broad range
of testing to assist clinicians in disease screening, diagnosing and
monitoring. Additionally, easy operation will be supported with
harmonized, intuitive software, large touchscreens and Siemens Remote
Service diagnostics.
A fast system for the high-volume laboratory with a throughput of up to
2400 tests per hour, the ADVIA Chemistry XPT System achieves predictable
turnaround times through a combination of micro-volume technology and
aliquot retention. Sample aliquots are readily available onboard for
testing and retesting; there is no need to return the tube to the
system. The system also includes VeriSmart Technology, a combination of
hardware and software checks to help ensure high-quality results.
The ADVIA Centaur XPT Immunoassay System is designed to process up to
240 tests per hour, upload test definitions on demand, and provide
uninterrupted processing even when loading and unloading samples,
reagents and supplies. The system is intended to require very little
maintenance. Its user interface features powerful, easy-to-use software
with extensive data management capabilities, and intelligent software
algorithms are designed to support laboratory management of results by
automatically providing effective diagnostic testing strategies.
Both systems are automation-ready, and can be connected to Siemens’
Aptio Automation, the company’s latest track-based automation system.
They require no additional robotics, and utilize point-in-space
technology which allows for sampling directly from the automation track.
Also, the ADVIA Chemistry XPT System and ADVIA Centaur XPT Immunoassay
System can be connected to the company’s CentraLink Data Management
System, which streamlines workflow across automation, IT and
instruments, and Siemens Remote Service (SRS).
