October 2015—CAP TODAY’s automated molecular platforms product guide begins on page 31 and features 26 platforms from 18 companies. Faster turnaround times and higher throughput are among the capabilities that manufacturers are touting.
New to the market is BioMérieux’s EasyStream, which was first installed in Europe in 2014 and sold in the U.S. this year. EliTech Group, new to the product guide, introduced its Elite InGenius this year.
BioFire Diagnostics in February received FDA clearance and CE IVD marking for its FilmArray 2.0 system. The FilmArray 2.0 processes up to 175 samples per day. Each system includes the computer, printer, and optional FilmArray rack and accommodates one to eight random-access Film-Array units. The system is also capable of connecting to laboratory information systems.
