ASR公司获准销售得一系列医疗诊断设备

 
美国科学资源公司(ASR, New Paltz, NY, USA)公布了一项与Analyticon公司签定的可更新的销售合同，该合同允许ASR引进提供经过改进的诊断检测项目。

这些检测项目将会为医生诊所和医院中现在使用的检测项目发生显著的改进。根据ASR的观点，Analyticon公司已经制定了床边检测的新标准，包括尿液分析设备以及在临床使用的相关检测条带。ASR将展示Analyticon公司的具有知识产权的高速机器人尿液分析仪能够同时进行超过10项诊断检查，其内置计算机显微镜系统，能够鉴别、分类以及存档显微镜下的结晶，这些结晶是某些特定疾病状态的指针。

ASR将获得Analyticon公司的纳米球工艺，计划在2005年秋季发布。ASR的一家分支机构Ulster科学公司总裁Peter Lordi说：“这种新型条带技术能够整合电子探头，作为高速计算机设备的组成部件。这种新型快速检测方法将会极大提高诊断检测的效率，比如说传染性疾病的鉴别。”

ASR是一家控股公司，由3家核心运作机构组成：Ulster科学公司、Hart Smart公司和Kidz-Med公司，是实验室诊断设备和儿科患者医学产品的销售商。
 
ASR Announces Distribution Alliance
 
A three-year renewable distribution contract with Analyticon (Lichetenfels, Germany) has been announced by American Scientific Resources (ASR, New Paltz, NY, USA), which will allow ASR to import and offer a new improved line of diagnostic tests.

The tests feature significant improvements over existing test procedures performed in doctors’ offices, clinics, and hospitals. In ASR’s opinion, Analyticon has set new standards in point-of-care (POC) testing that include improving urine analysis instrumentation and associated test strips routinely used in clinical settings. ASR will unveil Analyticon’s high-speed proprietary robotic urine analyzer that can perform simultaneously more than 10 diagnostic determinations, detecting levels of bilirubin, ketones, and glucose, among others. This instrument, which has a computerized built-in microscope system, can also identify, classify, and archive microscopic crystals that are indications of certain disease states.

ASR will also have exclusive rights to market Analyticon’s nanosphere technology, scheduled for release in the fall of 2005. “This new strip technology can be incorporated into electronic sensors as a component of high-speed computerized instrumentation,” observed Peter Lordi, president of Ulster Scientific, a division of ASR. “The new approach to rapid assay testing will greatly improve the efficiency of diagnostic testing, such as infective disease identification.”

ASR is a holding company, comprised of three core operating subsidiaries: Ulster Scientific, Hart Smart System, Inc., and Kidz-Med, Inc., a distributor of laboratory diagnostic equipment and medical products for pediatric patients.
