AMSTERDAM – ECCMID – In a joint effort to provide customers with one of the most advanced solutions for molecular testing, Siemens Healthcare and Thermo Fisher Scientific today (Apr. 7) announce a new strategic relationship that includes the integration of Thermo Fisher Scientific’s real-time PCR system into Siemens’ VERSANT® kPCR Molecular Solution. The combined workflow will offer laboratories Siemens’ complete molecular testing solution, which helps ensure leading-edge performance from extraction through detection. Siemens will display the entire system during the European Congress of Clinical Microbiology and Infectious Disease in Amsterdam, The Netherlands, April 9-12.
Thermo Fisher has brought to market easy-to-use, real-time PCR instruments. Designed for mid-throughput, these new systems provide ideal solutions for all users who need a high-performance instrument with features for maximum experiment control. Adding Thermo Fisher’s real-time PCR system to the VERSANT kPCR Molecular Solution brings a new level of innovation to the market by providing more flexibility and customization to the molecular laboratory workflow.
