BAYER LAUNCHES NEW IMMUNOASSAY SYSTEM

Bayer Diagnostics has announced approval for the sale of the new ADVIA Centaur CP Immunoassay System. The product is a compact, benchtop, fully automated analytical system that enables hospital and reference laboratories to rapidly perform a wide variety of disease-specific tests.

"The ADVIA Centaur CP, with its chemistry counterpart, the ADVIA 1200 Clinical Chemistry System, working with Bayer's networking and data management solution, ADVIA CentraLink, delivers synergies of sample handling, connectivity and system functionality to provide a complete immunoassay and clinical chemistry solution. This enables the smaller lab to offer a complete testing service without costly sample splitting and result collation," the company said.
