In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) solutions: Precision, automation and increased throughput
The precision and accuracy of the analyses determine the diagnosis. These requirements apply in particular to critical applications such as haematology, clinical chemistry, flow cytometry, immunology or histology. At the same time, the speed and the space required for the device in the laboratory are essential for in-vitro diagnostics due to the rapidly increasing need for tests. Bürkert has the right solution for both.
Our clinical diagnostic components help you work faster and perform more tests per hour without sacrificing the reliability of test results. The integrated process monitoring of washing cycles also saves you time. Space in a diagnostic laboratory is limited and expensive. That is why analysis devices have to become more and more compact. Thanks to the system solutions and particularly compact components from Bürkert, the limited space in the laboratory or in the point-of-care device can be used efficiently and throughput increased.
Our systems are not just ideal for your applications for reasons of speed and compactness. Our extensive portfolio of media-separated valves has established itself as the benchmark in IVD fluidics over the past few decades. This makes Bürkert an experienced full-service provider in all processes of clinical diagnostics. In addition, we provide you with the documentation for our products and systems. Depending on the applicable medical regulations and guidelines, these can make it easier for you to apply for any approvals for your entire device.
