Reliability and efficiency gains for immunoassay testing

The Yorkshire Clinic, part of the Ramsay Health Care group, has recently upgraded its immunoassay system to an IMMULITE® 2000 XPi from Siemens Healthcare Diagnostics.  This is the first placement of this analyser into an independent healthcare provider and one of the first placements in the UK.  It will assist with the rapid turnaround of thyroid, haematinics, gonadotrophins and tumour marker testing.
