  • Immunodiagnostics – As a leading developer in the field of immunoassays, bioMérieux meets the global needs of clinical laboratories in the diagnosis of infectious diseases and metabolic disorders. This high level of expertise is reflected in the leadership positioning of VIDAS® as the world’s second most widely installed immunoassay system, making it a reference in immunoanalysis. bioMérieux’s complete range of systems and reagents offers over 90 different immunoassays. 

  • Molecular Diagnostics – bioMérieux offers a broad range of molecular diagnostics products that perform nucleic acid extraction, amplification and real-time detection functions. bioMérieux products automate strain typing and allow for better genotypic characterization of bacteria, yeast and molds. 

  • Informatics – Software solutions that integrate, manage data and provide connectivity to hospital enterprise information systems 
     

bioMérieux Applications for Clinical Laboratories:

 

bioMérieux Solutions for Clinical Laboratories:

Full Microbiology Lab Automation (FMLA):

bioMérieux believes that full microbiology laboratory automation (FMLA) is imperative to streamlining operations and making more reliable results available faster, particularly in light of the growing threat of healthcare-associated infections. Enhanced automation offsets an increasing lack of specialized personnel, contributing to the control of healthcare expenditures. 

  
HAI Series

bioMérieux is sponsoring a Healthcare Associated Infection (HAI) series to educate the industry on prevention, surveillance and intervention tools that can help in the fight against   We aim to increase awareness of aspects and challenges surrounding healthcare-associated infections and the implementation of processes that can assist in their overall reduction.  A main objective for these regional workshops is to sponsor local experts and enable them to communicate best practices implemented at their respective facilities wherein attendees can consider applying some of the elements shared at their own institutions. 

 

Healthcare-associated infections will continue to be a major challenge and this area will likely experience increasing pressures related to regulatory mandates and reduction in reimbursement from Medicare and other payers.  As a partner with the microbiology laboratory for over 40 years, bioMérieux is committed to helping healthcare institutions meet these challenges.  In addition to offering novel products delivering high value, we believe that sponsorship of education is a critical element in addressing this key public health issue.
