Bio-Rad Laboratories (Hercules, CA, USA) is showcasing its comprehensive range of quality control-related offerings at the American Association of Clinical Chemistry Annual Scientific Meeting & Clinical Lab Expo, AACC 2023, in Anaheim, Calif., July 23-27. At booth #3239 on the AACC 2023 exhibition floor, attendees can explore and learn about Bio-Rad’s leading QC products, including the new Cardiac Advance product, Exact Diagnostics branded infectious disease molecular quality controls & panels, the family of InteliQ Load-and-Go controls, and Unity Next Peer QC data management solutions.

At the Bio-Rad AACC booth, visitors can explore its new comprehensive, multi-analyte control optimized for high sensitivity Troponin testing. Containing the ten most tested cardiac analytes, Cardiac Advance Control offers a consolidated formula to monitor the precision of cardiac laboratory testing procedures in one comprehensive control. Additionally, Bio-Rad’s InteliQ Load-and-Go controls allow labs to transform their QC workflow with load-and-go efficiency. InteliQ quality controls empower labs by automating workflow - reducing turnaround time, limiting manual errors, and increasing overall efficiency. Visitors to the company’s booth can also learn more about its latest offering, Unity Next Peer QC, which is a simple peer comparison tool with instant access to peer reporting in a centralized, user-friendly platform. Built on the foundation of Unity and supported by comprehensive QC data, Unity Next helps labs confidently make decisions to mitigate QC errors and protect patient safety.

At AACC 2023, Bio-Rad is also demonstrating how to streamline diabetes testing with fast and accurate smart HPLC and perform A1c testing without common hemoglobin variant interference. The company is demonstrating the D-100 hemoglobin testing system, a fully automated, best-in-class HbA1c analyzer for high-volume labs. The D-100 delivers more results with less effort with SMART HPLC, without sacrificing quality or workflow efficiency. In addition, Bio-Rad is demonstrating the BioPlex 2200 System, a fully automated, random-access, track line compatible, multiplex platform. BioPlex 2200 improves turnaround time, throughput, and overall workflow efficiency. With over 50 multiplex assays, the BioPlex System consolidates autoimmune, infectious disease, and vitamin D testing. One of the highlighted events during the conference is Bio-Rad’s industry workshop titled “A New Era in Laboratory Quality – Managing Molecular QC Data.” The workshop aims to provide attendees with valuable insights, including a discussion on molecular QC data management workflow improvements post-Unity implementation, a description of the value of Unity in evaluating the performance of viral load assays, and an identification of three essential functions of Unity for QC data management.
