Workstation for Near-Patient Labs

A new walk-away clinical diagnostic workstation is designed to meet the needs of demanding patient-care settings and lower-throughput clinical laboratories.

The fully automated DS2 is designed to eliminate variations that occur with manual processes, ensuring the rigorous, repeatable analyses required in critical applications that range from immunology to infectious diseases, hormones, allergies, blood-chemistry, and drugs-of-abuse. The workstation incorporates advanced automation and precise liquid-handling capabilities.

The DS2 is easy to use and maintain. An open system, it performs the entire complement of analytic steps required for virtually any enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), including adding samples and reagents, washing, incubation, and absorbance detection. The advanced control system is user-friendly. The DS2 is modeled on the DSX walk-away workstation. Both are the products of Dynex Technologies (Chantilly, VA, USA), a leading manufacturer of microplate instrumentation used in clinical diagnostics, drug discovery, and biomedical research. Dynex is a subsidiary of Magellan Biosciences.

"Increasingly, physicians are looking to improve health outcomes by bringing diagnostic products closer to the patient so they can get more-accurate, immediate results, and respond more quickly with appropriate treatments or therapies,” noted Robert J. Rosenthal, president of Magellan Biosciences. "The DS2 makes this possible.”
