March 2018—Ortho Clinical Diagnostics launched its Vitros ALTV Slides for the measurement of alanine aminotransferase, a key liver function enzyme found in serum and plasma, using dry slide technology.
By using dry slide technology, Vitros ALTV Slides confer several operational and clinical advantages for clinical laboratories and physicians, including low patient sample volumes needed for testing, extended calibration stability, and minimal storage space requirements, along with excellent precision performance and low-end sensitivity. Dry slide technology does not require water, plumbing, or drains or the need to dispose of water as medical waste. It also eliminates the need for high-quality water as a testing requirement.
