Carolina Liquid Chemistries
BioLis 24i Bench Top Chemistry Analyzer. Menu of more than 100 chemistries. The new BioLis 24i from Carolina Liquid Chemistries, Brea, Calif, is a 400-test-per-hour bench top chemistry analyzer with a menu of more than 100 chemistries that can serve as a backup analyzer for hospitals. The unit serves as a primary analyzer for small hospitals and physician office labs where space is tight, as it requires just 31 inches of bench space. The instrument has permanent cuvettes and includes a distilled water system. Its menu consists of reagents that are bar coded, liquid, and ready to use. The general chemistries cover metabolic, basic, hepatic, renal, anemia, and lipid panel tests. Therapeutic drugs and drugs-of-abuse tests are available. Specific proteins, such as commonly run IgG, IgA, IgM, C3, C4, transferin, haptoglobin, ASO, RF, CRP, prealbumin, and APO lipoproteins are performed reliably because of the antigen-excess-detection capability. Diabetic screening tests include HbA1c, fructosamine, and microalbumin, and special chemistries include D dimer, Cystatin C, insulin, homocysteine, Lp(a), and hsCRP. Positive-sample ID and elimination of instrument programming are achieved with a bidirectional interface and bar coded primary-tube sampling. The 30-day onboard reagent stability and 14-day calibration stability make daily startup a matter of running QC.

KRONUS Inc
Titin Antibody (TitinAb) ELISA Test Kit †. KRONUS®, a leading provider of specialized autoimmune diagnostic test kits, is pleased to announce the availability of a new ELISA test kit for the measurement of antibodies to titin (TitinAb). Titin is a protein of the striated muscles with an extremely high molecular weight. The immunogenic region of titin is located on a 30kD protein fragment. Antibodies against this fragment presumably cross-react with the epitopes of the acetylcholine receptors making their measurement potentially useful in select indications.
This new ELISA utilizes recombinant MGT30 peptide providing for the accurate and specific determination of titin antibodies.
