February 2014—Siemens Healthcare announced the launch of its drug-testing platform designed to meet the productivity, workflow, and workspace needs of mid-volume laboratories—the Viva-ProE System with EMIT technology.
The system features a benchtop design with a compact footprint for smaller workspaces, has a capacity for 50 sample and 12 auxiliary positions, and can run up to 133 EMIT tests per hour. The touchscreen monitor has intuitive, integrated software to enable ease of use, and there is a consolidated drug-testing menu for drugs of abuse and validity testing, serum toxicology, and therapeutic and immunosuppressant drug monitoring. It also includes onboard positive sample ID, sample and reagent probe crash protection and precision monitoring, and onboard waste and water storage.
