Also the device can report the results with greater accuracy, thanks to the Chemiflex technology, which uses different protocols.

The Abbott IMX system is a fully automated immunoassay analyzer designed to run assays using Enzyme Immunoassay and Fluorescence Polarization Immunoassay technologies. The IMX system software provides you with the capability to run fully automated assays and multiple assays as well. The IMX Unidirectional Interface, which is available with all versions of IMX System Software, interfaces the Abbott IMX System to a laboratory computer or host computer. As data is being printed on the IMX test results tape, the interface sends the data from the IMX to the host computer. The IMX system has six major subsystems which are; a dispense station, a reaction chamber, sensors and detectors, and operator control panel, software modules and a built-in printer. These subsystems are contained in the one-piece outer shell of your IMX called the Enclosure Assembly. The IMX is capable of running tests such as those for Endocrine function, Diabetes, Fertility, HIV/AIDS, Cancer, Kidney disease, Hepatitis, STD’s, Transplant, Heart disease, Rubella, Thyroid and Congenital disease.
Tests on the IMx System:
Cancer (5 tests)
Cardiac (2 tests)
Fertility/Pregnancy (1 test)
Hepatitis/Retrovirus (2 tests)
Infectious Disease (5 tests)
Metabolic (2 tests)
Therapeutic Drug Monitoring (2 tests)
Thyroid (5 tests)
Transplant (2 tests)
Parameters: 35 assays
Throughput: 48 samples / hour
If you have one of these units, buy a second one for spare parts or as a backup at a very economical price.

The Abbott TDx FLx® Immunology Analyzer continues be one of the best options in the dynamic field of therapeutic drug monitoring. The Abbott analyzer is designed to perform tests in three modes: random access, batch, and unit dose, and performs 1 to 8 different assays with up to 20 samples which can be done on a single carousel run. Assay testing is conducted in batch mode operation, enabled by the TDx FLx® Batch-Pack Adapter which is a platform that holds the batch reagent pack.

Operations on TDx FLx® analyzer are carried out using fluorescence polarization technology. The TDx FLx® system follows a competitive binding immunoassay methodology, and prints out calculations of drug or hormone concentrations (in unknown samples) in reportable units. Calculations are done using the stored calibration curve.

This Abbott TDx FLx® analyzer system also employs the use of radiative energy attenuation (REA®) technology to achieve seamless performance clinical chemistry assays. Endpoint nephelometry technology is also used to perform Turbo® Specific Protein assays.

The automated system of the Abbott TDx FLx® Immunology Analyzer can perform a variety of laboratory tests including therapeutic drug assays, toxicology/abused drugs, metabolic, hormones, clinical chemistries, specific proteins, fertility/pregnancy, and metabolic. The TDxFLx® analyzer has consistently provided laboratory technicians with enhanced efficiency when performing tests on endocrine function, hormones, toxicology, abused drugs, and immunosuppressants.

It is generally known that HbA1c (glycohemoglobin) is grouped into A1a, A1b, L-A1c, and sA1c categories according to the kind of glucose so combined. Measurement of HbA1c is widely utilized today as an index for diabetic screening tests and also as a therapeutical index for the long-term blood glucose control of diabetes mellitus. HLC-723G8 is an automated, high performance liquid chromatography system designed to measure HbA1c accurately and rapidly. It is also used for quantitative and qualitative analysis of HbF, which cannot be easily measured by conventional methods. Therefore, highly reliable data can therefore be obtained by utilizing this system.

Immunohistochemical staining was performed as follows: 2-μm-thick sections were prepared from formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded TMA tissue blocks and were dried in a 60°C oven overnight. The sections were placed in a Bond Max Automated Immunohistochemistry Vision Biosystem (Leica Microsystems GmbH, Wetzlar, Germany) according to the following protocol. First, tissues were deparaffinized and pre-treated with the Epitope Retrieval Solution 2 (EDTA-buffer pH8.8) at 98°C for 20 min. After washing steps, peroxidase blocking was carried out for 10 min using the Bond Polymer Refine Detection Kit DC9800 (Leica Microsystems GmbH). Tissues were again washed and then incubated with the primary antibody for 30 min. Subsequently, tissues were incubated with polymer for 10 min and developed with DAB-Chromogen for 10 min.
