AACC 2012: High throughput analyzers, clinical information systems, core lab, and cellular analysis systems are being featured in this year's annual AACC/AACLS conference Expo being held July 15-19, 2012, in Los Angeles (CA, USA).

Beckman Coulter (Brea, CA, USA) is displaying its new instruments in a booth configuration—designed to replicate a core lab, reference lab, and regional and community hospital lab. At Beckman Coulter’s in-booth Innovation Station, attendees have the chance learn from industry experts how labs have increased efficiency, productivity, and uptime, and how the latest innovations in in-vitro diagnostics (IVD) testing are advancing patient care. For those unable to attend, live streaming of the event and notification of archived presentations are available online (please see Related Links below).

Also, among the key products being exhibited are the recently released AU5800 chemistry series and Prostate Health Index (phi), which combines the PSA and free PSA with a clipped form of the precursor to PSA, called "-2 pro PSA.”

In addition, Beckman Coulter is sponsoring an industry workshop on July 18, 2012, titled, “Automated and LEAN: Perfect Together, A Decade’s Journey,” which will be led by John T. Mather Memorial Hospital’s (Port Jefferson, NY, USA) Denise Uettwiller-Geiger, PhD, DLM.
