一種新型樣本制備平臺能夠為核酸分離、定量、標準化和下游分析準備提供新的解決方案。

這種平臺叫做Vidiera NsP，是以Beckman Coulter公司(Fullerton, CA, USA)的Biomek自動化和診斷試管處理工藝為基礎的，專門設計用于滿足醫(yī)院和參考實驗室對分子學檢測不斷增長的需求。

Vidiera可以用于病毒學和病理學的分子學診斷，還可以整合進Beckman Coulter的Vidiera NsD核酸樣本檢測系統(tǒng)。Vidiera NsP能夠被用于制備分子診斷實驗室目前進行的絕大多數(shù)下游分析設備，而Vidiera NsD能夠允許在一間房間內把分析前檢測功能進行集中。Vidiera NsP將會向高度復雜的診斷實驗室推廣。

“我們公司的新型Vidiera系列產品，將我們的專業(yè)特長應用于臨床診斷和科研實驗室自動化，有利于不斷增長的分子學檢測方法。”Bruce Wallace如此解釋說，他是Beckman Coulter公司核酸檢測部門的副總裁。“這條產品線是我們生物醫(yī)學檢測持續(xù)發(fā)展戰(zhàn)略的一個明確范例，證明了我們雄厚的專業(yè)優(yōu)勢將會為診斷實驗室?guī)砣碌慕鉀Q方案。”

Beckman Coulter在全球范圍內已經安裝了超過200,000套系統(tǒng)，把生物醫(yī)學檢測范圍從尖端醫(yī)學科研和臨床實驗室擴大至實驗室診斷和床邊檢測。

Sample Preparation for Molecular Diagnostics
 
A new sample preparation platform represents a new solution for nucleic acid isolation, quantification, normalization, and reaction set-up for downstream assay analysis.

Called Vidiera NsP, the platform is based on the Biomek automation and diagnostic primary tube-handling technologies of Beckman Coulter (Fullerton, CA, USA) and is specifically designed to meet the growing need for molecular testing in hospital and reference laboratories.

Vidiera can be used for molecular diagnostic applications in virology and pathology and can be integrated with Beckman Coulter’s Vidiera NsD nucleic sample detection system. Vidiera NsP can be used for setting-up reactions for most major downstream analytical instruments that molecular diagnostic laboratories have today, while Vidiera NsD enables labs to centralize pre-analytic functions in one room and to streamline the process. Vidiera NsP will be marketed to high-complexity diagnostic laboratories.

“Our new Vidiera products bring together our expertise in clinical diagnostics and research laboratory automation to benefit the growing field of molecular testing,” explained Bruce Wallace, vice president, nucleic acid testing business, Beckman Coulter.
“This product line is a clear example of our biomedical testing continuum strategy and demonstrates the advantage our broad range of expertise gives us in bringing new solutions to the diagnostic workplace.”

Beckman Coulter has more than 200,000 installed systems around the world that span the biomedical testing continuum from pioneering medical research and clinical trials to laboratory diagnostics and point-of-care testing.
