simultaneous assay processing, and automated
sample dilutions. The robotic arm,
with its electromagnetic head, controls all
the automated steps. Simply load barcodelabeled
sample tubes for positive sample
identification from tube to completed result.
Neat samples, and those requiring dilutions,
are prepared with ease using the on-board
sampler. The migration chamber peltier uses
vacuum-controlled gel adhesion with disposable
electrode sponges for precise band focalization
and easy set-up and maintenance.

Enzymatic Creatinine Reagent Set
Pointe Scientific has introduced a new enzymatic
creatinine assay for automated chemistry
analyzers. This two-part, liquid-stable
reagent eliminates endogenous creatine and
ascorbic acid and offers 18-month shelf-life
and up to 30-day, on-board stability. Hemoglobin
to 500 mg/dL, conjugated bilirubin to
32 mg/dL, and unconjugated bilirubin to 40
mg/dL has been shown not to interfere with
the assay. The assay shows excellent correlation
to other creatinine assays. Precision studies
conducted according to CLSI: EP 5 protocol
yielded excellent precision with CVs below 2%.

DYNEx Agility System
Magellan Biosciences has redefined ELISA
processing with the new DYNEX Agility—an
ingenious, state-of-the-art system featuring
the most advanced walkaway automation in
the category. Agility allows up to 12 microplates
to be loaded on-board as they are
prepared and can process 16 assays simultaneously.
Agility also minimizes hands-on
time thanks to revolutionary reagent loading
technology, eliminating nearly all liquid transfer
steps with Agility SmartKits. SmartKits
contain all the reagents needed for each assay
in a durable kit that is loaded directly onto the
instrument in one step—no manual reagent
pipetting is required! Achieve optimal turnaround
and productivity with Agility.

EasyRA Clinical Chemistry Analyzer
The EasyRA is a fully automated, clinical
chemistry analyzer for use in low-to-
moderate volume hospital and physician
office laboratories. New software capabilities
allow for both standard chemistry testing
and now urine drugs-of-abuse testing, as well
as turbidimetric and enzymatic immunoassay
tests. The EasyRA sets a new standard in
its class with a combination of unprecedented
ease-of-use, intuitive user interface, and
limited maintenance.

ST AIA-PACk ACTH and ST AIA-PACk DHEA-S*
Tosoh introduces two new assays to add to
its AIA test menu: ST AIA-PACK ACTH
and ST AIA-PACK DHEA-S. ST AIA-PACK
ACTH is designed for in vitro diagnostic use
only for quantitative measurement of ACTH
in human EDTA plasma on Tosoh AIA System
Analyzers. ST AIA-PACK DHEA-S
is designed for in vitro diagnostic use only
for quantitative measurement of dehydroepiandrosterone
sulfate (DHEA-S) in
human serum, heparinized or EDTA plasma,
on TOSOH AIA System Analyzers. Both
ACTH and DHEA-S use Tosoh’s unit-dose
test cup technology, and the assay time is
approximately 20 minutes. Both assays offer
a calibration stability of 90 days. *Pending
FDA clearance.

AIA-900 Automated Immunoassay Analyzer*
Tosoh introduces the highly anticipated AIA-
900 Automated Immunoassay Analyzer. This
flexible new addition to Tosoh’s respected
family of AIA analyzers has a throughput
of 90 tests/hour and is available in three
different options: the AIA-900, the AIA-900
with the nine-tray sorter, and the AIA-900
with the 19-tray sorter. The three models
present customers with a unique opportunity
to grow with their testing volumes.
For example, a laboratory that purchases
the AIA-900 can add the nine-tray sorter to
increase testing capacity without changing
their instrument. The AIA-900 uses the same
Unit-Dose Test Cup reagent technology as
all Tosoh AIA immunoassay analyzers. The
AIA-900 is being launched with the full AIAtest
menu*. *Pending FDA clearance for ST
AIA-PACK PA.
