New Software for Vitros System

New software allows laboratories to expand their test menu by developing their own test method applications to complement the assays currently available on the Vitros 5.1 FS chemistry system.

This user-defined assay software allows laboratories to program assay protocols by using pre-formatted templates and to define their own protocols. Reagent packs for use with the assays are available. The software supports enzymatic, colorimetric, and tubidimetric assay methodologies on serum, plasma, urine, cerebrospinal fluid, and whole blood hemolysate samples. Multiple calibration models are available, including linear regression, cubic spine, Logit/Log4 and Logit/Log 5.

The software is supported by all of the current features of the Vitros 5.1 system, including MicroSlide technology for the highest reportable result efficiency; Intellicheck technology for system monitoring, advanced clot and bubble detection management, and intelligent error reduction; and MicroSensor sample integrity assessment. The software also uses MicroTip technology that features disposable tips and cuvettes, eliminating the maintenance, cost, and risk of sample and reagent carryover and cross-contamination associated with traditional chemistry systems.

"Thousands of Vitros customers around the world have benefited from the convenience and accuracy of our MicroSlide dry slide technology over the past 20 years,” noted Stephanie Wells, vice president, worldwide marketing, clinical laboratory business, Ortho-Clinical Diagnostics (Raritan, NJ, USA). "Now we are also able to offer even greater efficiency and flexibility by offering the user defined assay capability so that customers themselves can add to the test menu.”
