The NGAL Test*<br />
The NGAL Test, a particle-enhanced<br />
turbidimetric assay <strong>for</strong> <strong>the</strong> quantitative<br />
determination of NGAL in human urine or<br />
plasma, is designed <strong>for</strong> routine diagnostic<br />
use on chemistry analyzers from numerous<br />
manufactures, such as Roche, Abbott,<br />
Siemens, and Beckman Coulter. NGAL is a<br />
novel biomarker <strong>for</strong> diagnosing acute kidney<br />
injury (AKI). The test effectively gives almost<br />
any laboratory immediate access to a fast and<br />
easy method to measure NGAL. This test is<br />
intended <strong>for</strong> in vitro diagnostic use in select<br />
countries only. Check <strong>for</strong> availability in your<br />
country on our website. *For research use<br />

hema-screen SPECIFIC*<br />
hema-screen SPECIFIC is an immunochemical,<br />
fecal, occult-blood test specific <strong>for</strong><br />
human hemoglobin. hema-screen SPECIF-<br />
IC’s distinguishing feature is our patented<br />
DEVEL-A-TAB collection slide, allowing<br />
two specimens to be tested at <strong>the</strong> same time.<br />
The new enhanced version of hema-screen<br />
SPECIFIC contains an additional 10 collection<br />
system/mailing envelopes. This feature<br />
allows doctors or labs to hand out additional<br />
collection system/mailing envelopes to compensate<br />
<strong>for</strong> non-compliance. Look <strong>for</strong> our<br />
new packaging. *In development.<br />

ABO & RhD Blood Grouping kit*<br />
INTEC ABO & RhD Blood Grouping Kit<br />
uses unique visual testing technology to<br />
detect ABO and RhD blood groups based on<br />
<strong>the</strong> immune response principle of antigens<br />
and antibodies. The kit is suitable <strong>for</strong> on-site<br />
blood collection, medical laboratory testing,<br />
and urgent pre-transfusion testing. With<br />
rapid accurate results and good per<strong>for</strong>mance<br />
in specificity and stability, <strong>the</strong> kit can be stored<br />
at 2–30ºC <strong>for</strong> 2 years. The kit offers detection<br />
of ABO and RhD blood groups simultane-<br />
ously in one test without any additional<br />
equipment. This product has international<br />
patent: No.: PCT/CN2009/000322. *Pending<br />
FDA clearance.<br />

BS-800 Modular System*<br />
BS-800 Modular System, an innovative clinical<br />
chemistry diagnostic system manufactured<br />
by Mindray Corporation, incorporates<br />
Mindray’s suggested reagents, calibrators,<br />
and controls. It can be adapted to customers’<br />
needs by integrating one to four modular<br />
units with various throughputs, ranging<br />
from 1,200–4,800 tests/hour. The systems<br />
uses only 100 µL of reagent, takes up to 860<br />
The scientific proof of a technology breakthrough<br />
is not established by a single study. The technology<br />
must be evaluated and <strong>the</strong> study results duplicated<br />
in numerous settings to be considered scientifically<br />
valid. In <strong>the</strong> last two years, 50 published studies<br />
by leading diabetes hospitals throughout <strong>the</strong> world<br />
validate that Nova’s StatStrip glucose sensor<br />
technology dramatically improves accuracy by<br />
reducing hematocrit and o<strong>the</strong>r interferences. These<br />
studies have been conducted at some of <strong>the</strong> most<br />
prestigious diabetes centers in <strong>the</strong> world including<br />
<strong>the</strong> Mayo Clinic, John Hopkins University School<br />
of Medicine, University of Cali<strong>for</strong>nia Davis<br />

“Here we fur<strong>the</strong>r demonstrate <strong>for</strong> <strong>the</strong> first time that anemia is <strong>the</strong> primary<br />
cause of glucometer error in hemodynamically stable adult ICU patients<br />
and that eliminating hematocrit error decreases <strong>the</strong> frequency of hypoglycemia.”<br />
Pidcoke M et al. Crit Care Med 2010<br />
“The new generation StatStrip glucose meter, which has been designed to<br />
compensate <strong>for</strong> hematocrit and chemical interferences, reduces <strong>the</strong> likelihood<br />
of erroneous results arising from interference factors that influence current<br />
conventional glucose meters.”<br />
Bewley B et al. Point of Care 2009<br />
“The StatStrip system was not susceptible to hematocrit, ascorbate or maltose<br />
interferences, ei<strong>the</strong>r alone or in combination with one ano<strong>the</strong>r. The o<strong>the</strong>r<br />
strip meter systems tested were significantly influenced by <strong>the</strong>se interferences.”<br />
Lyon ME. AACC, Annual Meeting 2008<br />
“With <strong>the</strong> exception of <strong>the</strong> Nova StatStrip, all meters were affected by<br />
variable hematocrit.”<br />
