Fast Turnaround for Critical Cardiac TestsHealthcare News | July 31, 2009
All laboratories need access to fast, sensitive immunoassay testing without sacrificing quality, turnaround times or productivity. Siemens addresses this with its newly launched Dimension® EXL™ with LM (LOCI Module) integrated chemistry system.LOCI® – unique integration of technologyThe unique integration of LOCI® advanced chemiluminescence technology, allows customers to conduct the next level of chemistry and immunoassay testing on a single platform. LOCI technology provides fast analytical turnaround time for critical cardiac tests. "It has been very reliable, easy-to-operate, and has cut our turn-around-time on Troponin I. With the LOCI technology, we are able to report out Troponin I in 10 minutes," says Tim Schroeder, BSMT, Laboratory Manager at the Marengo Memorial Hospital. "We are turning out a Comprehensive Metabolic Panel (CMP) with Troponin in the same time that it took to do just the CMP," Schroeder continues.
Meeting the demands of modern laboratories – once again
Siemens was the first to offer an analyzer integrating both chemistry and immunochemistry testing in one unit. With the new Dimension EXL with LM analyzer, Siemens now offers the next-generation system with advanced immunoassay technology running on a trusted and proven, integrated platform. 'The Dimension EXL integrated system with LOCI Module has been a very easy transition from the Dimension Classic System,' explains Schroeder.
The Dimension EXL system with LM allows clinical laboratories to run a broad range of tests. The available panels include: cardiac, thyroid disorder, therapeutic drug monitoring, drugs-of-abuse testing, protein testing, fertility, and routine and specialty chemistry testing. Schroeder's conclusion: 'The Dimension EXL with LOCI Advanced Chemiluminescence is a great blend of the proven Dimension platform with the addition of the 21st century technology [...] Our CFO took one look at the proposal and signed off on it.” The Dimension® EXL™ with LM Integrated Chemistry System offers:
- Trusted, proven, built-in technologies with LOCI® technology inside for reliable results
- Easy-to-use Dimension platform provides the confidence that every trained operator can run any test, any time
- Chemistry and immunoassay integration allows simultaneous processing to maximize workflow
- A history of performance often imitated, never duplicated
