Innovation in Motion is an actual working mobile microbiology laboratory. In it you’ll experience state-of-the-art systems, such as bioMérieux’s new VITEK^® 2 Compact, STELLARA™ and BacT/ALERT^® 3D in action. By giving you the opportunity to use these systems, we’ll show you how we can help your institution integrate solutions, which can ultimately improve patient and financial outcomes. We’ll demonstrate how laboratory data can be transformed into clinician advisory information to bring about a positive impact on hot issues, such as pay for performance, adverse drug events and length of stay.

Now fully integrated communication among key hospital departments and personnel can become a reality with STELLARA™ - Intelligent Patient Therapy Management. Available in four Étages – or levels – to meet a range of demands for hospitals of any size, this advance in communication can help improve patient care, shorten hospital stays and improve outcomes. All integrated data is available to clinicians via PDA or desktop computer.

The new VITEK^® 2 Compact ID/AST system has everything you need for fast, accurate microbial identification and susceptibility testing, and it’s designed to fit and perform in smaller laboratories. It’s easy to set up and operate, and it features Advanced Colorimetry™ to enhance performance. VITEK 2 test cards feature same-day results and the Advanced Expert™ System increases laboratory confidence in susceptibility test results. Connection to STELLARA brings laboratory results directly to clinicians in real time.

An automated microbial detection system that integrates blood, sterile body fluid, platelet quality control testing and mycobacteria culturing, the BacT/ALERT^® 3D is perfect for every laboratory. It features a space-saving modular design, easy touch-screen operation, flexible data-management options and more. The new plastic bottles can also drastically improve worker safety.

The NucliSENS^® easyMAG™ presents an entirely new approach to nucleic acid extraction reducing complexity and eliminating bottlenecks in what is typically the single most labor-intensive part of molecular testing. The entire extraction and purification process takes place in a single well with only one aspiration tip required per sample. This simplified process dramatically increases reliability of the procedure from start to finish. Less waste and minimal inventory management mean a more efficient and productive laboratory.

TEMPO™ automates testing for total viable counts, coliform counts, generic E. coli, and Enterobacteriaceae. Testing for these organisms is important to a food quality laboratory for determining overall product hygiene and also as an indication of product spoilage. If there is an unacceptable level of these organisms in a facility’s food products, it can lead to a negative financial impact. Automation helps to standardize numerous preparation steps, interpretation, and test results. This process can dramatically improve workflow and enables the lab technician more time to focus on other activities, leading to labor savings.

Whether running TSH, PSA, testosterone or infertility tests, the easy-to-use, cost effective and extremely reliable, miniVIDAS^® offers desktop convenience with reference lab accuracy. Additionally, the VIDAS D-Dimer Exclusion has been cleared by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to exclude both pulmonary embolism (PE) and deep vein thrombosis (DVT) as a diagnosis in outpatients. Space saving design makes the miniVIDAS perfect for point of care or supplemental laboratory testing for family practices, internal medicine, urology, endocrinology, OB-GYN/infertility and any physician office outsourcing 100 immunoassay tests to reference labs.

VITEK^® 2 is an automated system that performs bacterial identification and antibiotic susceptibility testing. As bioMérieux is a pioneer in the development of expert systems, the system also include a highly advanced expert system, AES, that provides accurate fingerprint recognition of bacterial resistance mechanisms and phenotypes.

ENQ™ quickly and easily resolves connectivity issues between diagnostic instruments/systems and hospital Laboratory Information System or other systems. ENQ’s state-of-the-art programming design makes multiple interfaces simple to integrate and messaging formats easy to translate.

The NucliSENS EasyQ System is the first automated system to combine NASBA and real-time molecular beacon detection. The system is designed for ease of use and is equally suited to large- or small-volume molecular testing. The intuitive operator software and short assay hands-on and turnaround times will significantly improve the workflow of any molecular testing laboratory.
