LabDAQ® Laboratory Information System (LIS)
Features
LabDAQ Laboratory Information System
(LIS) offers complete system integration
with bidirectional interfaces with EMR,
HIS, practice management systems and
reference laboratories. Antek’s experience
ensures smooth and timely integration
of your software systems. The new HL7
Reconciler provides LabDAQ users with an
advanced utility for controlling incoming
patient information from an HL7 reference
laboratory interface.
Benefits
LabDAQ LIS improves workflow in the laboratory through robust analyzer interfaces,
Web-based ordering and results retrieval, and
expanded client-defined rules-based technology, which assists in decision-making through
the testing process. Scanning and storage of
images and advanced QC, which includes scheduled QC and the ability to hold results if QC
has not been run or is not acceptable, are also
available.

BINDAZYME Human Anti-Gliadin MGP IgG and IgA EIA Kits
Features
Conventional gliadin ELISA methods use
crude gliadin antigen and have shown limited sensitivity and specificity for the diagnosis of celiac disease. BINDAZYME Human
Anti-Gliadin MGP IgG and IgA EIA Kits use
a modified gliadin peptide that is deamidated by the enzyme tissues transglutaminase (tTg) enhancing the immunogenicity
of gliadin.
Benefits
BINDAZYME Anti-Gliadin MGP provides superior sensitivity, specificity, and diagnostic accuracy over conventional methods. Production of
gliadin antibodies early in the disease makes
BINDAZYME MGP a useful marker for early
detection. Other benefits of MGP include monitoring celiac disease activity and compliance to
a gluten-free diet. Binding Site automation protocols are available.

StatSpin Express 4
Features
The StatSpin Express 4 high-speed horizontal centrifuge provides faster turnaround
time and greater productivity for your
”Lean” laboratory. Place it next to any STAT
analyzer. Serum or plasma is ready in just
3 minutes. Provides rapid separation of gel
tubes with a flat gel barrier. Only three
settings minimizes operator error. It holds
eight tubes from 1.5 to 10 mL. It comes
with a full 2-year warranty and is CE and UL
marked.
Benefits
Detection of S. pneumoniae for bacterial meningitis and pneumonia. Test results appear in
15 minutes, can shorten patient wait time.

Benefits
Samples can be processed as they arrive in the
lab; no need for batching, no unproductive time
spent waiting for the centrifuge ... you’ll have
results in minutes. Now you can process as many
as eight samples at once for higher throughput.
In just 3 minutes, the Express 4 can produce
serum or plasma from tubes with or without gel
equal to tubes spun for 10 to 15 minutes in conventional clinical centrifuges. It can replace large
bench or floortop models with its small size.
