Siemens offers an expanded portfolio of Dimension Vista® systems to meet the needs of all sizes of clinical laboratories. Dimension Vista® 500 Intelligent Lab System, the latest addition to its family of ultra-integrated chemistry and immunochemistry systems, was recently introduced. This new system represents a major step forward in improved quality and reduced time to produce patient test results.
With a test menu of more than 115 assays, the Dimension Vista 500 system offers test panels for anemia, cardiac disease, thyroid disorders, therapeutic drug monitoring, protein testing, drugs-of-abuse testing, and routine and specialty chemistry testing in one system. Photometry, nephelometry, V-LYTE® electrolyte, and LOCI® advanced chemiluminescence, four advanced detection technologies used on the systems, result in an extensive test menu. Fast and sensitive immunoassay testing with fast analytical turnaround times of 10 minutes are possible with LOCI technology.
A throughput of up to 1,000 tests per hour is achievable with the Dimension Vista 500 system. Available by adjoining two Dimension Vista 500 systems, the Dimension Vista 1000T Intelligent Lab System doubles the throughput to up to 2,000 tests per hour. The Dimension Vista 1000T system additionally provides mirror back-up capabilities and increased walk-away time for laboratory personnel.
