Bio-Rad Laboratories announced a partnership with Sysmex America, a diagnostic solutions company offering hematology, urinalysis, information systems, and flow cytometry testing technology, to include Bio-Rad’s Unity Next Peer QC software with Sysmex Hemostasis systems (Sysmex CA-Series and Sysmex CS-Series) for the United States.
Sysmex Hemostasis Systems
Sysmex has been producing hemostasis analyzers for more than 30 years, offering complete, easy-to-use hemostasis solutions for laboratories of all sizes and complexities. By combining Unity Next Peer QC with Sysmex Hemostasis systems, laboratorians can review their system performance against their peers resulting in greater confidence in the system and avoiding costly reruns, the company says.
Bio-Rad’s QC software
The Unity Next Peer QC software offers on-demand access to peer reporting and quality control data in an intuitive design helping labs troubleshoot QC errors quickly and effectively. The straightforward navigation also helps streamline QC reporting and improve workflow efficiency.
With this partnership, Sysmex Hemostasis-specific peer groups will be created to support labs’ QC workflows and increase reliability in patient test results,” says Nicole Zahl, vice president of marketing for Bio-Rad’s Quality Systems Group. “The Unity Next Peer QC platform will enable Sysmex Hemostasis users with a modernized experience, providing the reporting information to optimize decision making without delays from software updates.”
Unity Next Peer QC enables labs to measure and improve their analytical performance, in terms of trueness and precision, by comparing with peers, ensuring reliable patient data. Additionally, Unity Next Peer QC provides data visualization and report generation for compliance management.
Labs new to Bio-Rad’s suite of QC data management products can experience Unity Next Peer QC with guided support and training from the Bio-Rad team.
