“Our mission has always been to give health professionals the highest quality tools to determine the best treatment. The introduction of the VITROS® 5600 Integrated System and VITROS® 3600 Immunodiagnostic System continues this mission with next generation instruments that have a broad, world class menu of assays and the capacity to support future high-impact tests,” said David Atkins, PhD, Vice President for Ortho Clinical Diagnostics, EMEA. “Ortho Clinical Diagnostics is committed to developing advanced medical tests through our investment in specific disease-state biomarkers in reproductive health, oncology, cardiology and metabolic diseases.”
About the VITROS® 5600 Integrated System
The VITROS® 5600 System is designed to integrate clinical chemistry and immunoassay testing to increase laboratory productivity and can perform more than 100 different chemistry, immunoassay and infectious disease assays on a single, high- quality system. In addition to its current broad menu including user-defined applications, the VITROS® 5600 Integrated System will have the capability to run future tests for earlier detection of diseases.
The VITROS® 5600 System incorporates a sample-centered processing approach, where individual samples are accessed independently and in parallel for chemistry and immunoassay testing. This approach can optimise turnaround time and productivity by intelligently accounting for variable sample and test mixes, eliminating the need to split the sample on the analyser or move sample trays between modules.
About the VITROS® 3600 Immunodiagnostic System
The VITROS® 3600 Immunodiagnostic System is designed for medium- to high-volume laboratories. The VITROS® 3600 System combines three proven VITROS® technologies into a single system, enabling reliable and accurate test results across a broad menu of immunoassays:
MicroWell Technology with enhanced chemiluminescence enables exceptional assay performance with small sample volume requirements across a broad range of diseases.
MicroSensor Technology automatically performs sample quality indices checks for the first time ever on an immunoassay system. This capability reduces the time, labor and error potential of manual interpretation.
Intellicheck® Technology verifies analytical performance and reduces error potential by providing real-time operator notification and tracking.
The processing speed, on-board reagent capacities and uninterrupted workflow advantages of the system allow laboratories to address peak workloads and decrease turnaround times.
