New tests for anemia monitoring
Siemens has launched the LOCI® Folate, LOCI® B12, and LOCI® Ferritin tests for use on the Dimension Vista® 1500 Intelligent Lab system, an ultra-integrated chemistry analyzer. These tests are used by physicians to diagnose and monitor anemia in patients, and further expand Siemens LOCI immunoassay test menu for the Dimension Vista system. With a processing speed of up 1,500 tests per hour or up to 200 samples per hour, the system also provides tremendous workflow benefits. The first in a new class of analyzers, The Dimension Vista® intelligent lab system sets new standards of efficiency, simplicity, sensitivity and convenience for the laboratory.
Early Diagnosis Support Better Treatment of Anemia
Anemia, a disease that is estimated to affect up to 30 percent of the world’s population, is generally defined as a decreased amount of healthy red blood cells in the circulation or an abnormally low concentration of hemoglobin, which is necessary to carry oxygen throughout the body. Vitamin B12 deficiency anemia, folic acid deficiency anemia, and iron deficiency anemia are among the most commonly diagnosed types of anemia. Early diagnosis and effective treatment are imperative in improving patient outcomes and enhancing the quality of life – The latest additions to the Dimension Vista Intelligent Lab system further support the diagnosis of Anemia disorders.
Ultra-integrated with new Features
Through the use of the LOCI Advanced Chemiluminescence Technology, Siemens provides clinical laboratories greater levels of testing sensitivity for immunoassay testing and a broad test menu capability on the Dimension Vista Intelligent Lab system. This ultra-integrated chemistry analyzer now offers one of the most comprehensive menus for the detection and differentiation of anemia and iron metabolism, including Folate, B12, and Ferritin by LOCI technology; Iron and Total Iron Binding Capacity by photometric methodology; and Haptoglobin, Soluble Transferrin Receptor, and Transferrin testing by nephelometric methodology. The Dimension Vista Intelligent Lab system menu offers panels for anemia, cardiac disease, thyroid disorders, therapeutic drug monitoring, protein testing, drugs-of-abuse testing, and routine and specialty chemistry testing.
