A broad menu of quality assays means more information for doctors
We believe many of the world’s most serious diseases can be overcome by having the right knowledge as soon as possible. At Ortho Clinical Diagnostics, we constantly evaluate our assay portfolio to bring you a broad disease-state menu that meets your testing needs.
Our broad immunoassay menu covers all the major disease states including:
+ Cardiology, Infectious Disease, Oncology
+ Thyroid, Metabolic, Endocrine, Anemia
Other features:
+ Wide accessible menu onboard at all times
+ Standardized reagents and results across all VITROS® platforms
World-class assays for quality results
VITROS® Troponin I ES Assay
Improved sensitivity delivers more reliable information for patients with acute coronary syndrome. Meets ACC/ESC guideline for acceptable imprecision in a high sensitivity assay (10% CV at 99th percentile).
VITROS® NT-proBNP Assay
Provides confidence to physicians for the differential diagnosis of heart failure, improving patient care. Enables consolidated cardiac testing on one fully random-access system. Adopted in ESC/ACC/AHA practice guidelines.1,2
VITROS® TSH 3rd Generation Assay
Third generation sensitivity means this assay can be used as a front-line screen that enables cost-effective algorithmic testing stratetgies.3,4,5,6 Smaller sample volume minimizes costs and operator intervention.
VITROS® Free T4 Assay
Correlates with Equilibrium Dialysis (ED), considered the “Gold Standard” for free hormone analysis.7,8 Not impacted by serum protein concentrations allowing for better differentiation of non-thyroidal illness.
VITROS® ß-hCG II
Wide dynamic range and equivalent results in serum and plasma minimize dilutions, provide flexibility and improve turnaround time.
VITROS Anti-HCV Assay
A version 3.0 fully automated, random-access diagnostic test for IgG antibody to hepatitis C virus. Provides improved sensitivity. Results in less than 60 minutes, available any time in any order.
