Essential to clinical core laboratory operations, chemistry analyzers and related instruments are well regarded and broadly utilized. For most labs, the number of available tests, ease of maintenance, and throughput remain top of mind when acquiring new analyzers. While use of medium- and high-volume analyzers is nearly universal, the need for low-volume devices remain.

Coagulation analyzers are nearly ubiquitous in clinical labs (9 out of 10), and receive laudable ratings. With just under half of laboratories (49%) planning new adoptions, many facilities are utilizing multiple coagulation instruments now, and are expected to continue to do so in the near term.
Coagulation analyzers are among the most widely used technologies in the clinical laboratory.

The number of laboratories utilizing microbiology platforms has remained fairly consistent over the last few years at almost two-thirds, and yet we also see the highest expected adoption number in the last decade. Given prodigious satisfaction ratings, laboratories will have a range of options to choose from among available vendors and instrument types.
Microbiology platforms enjoy particularly... Read more
Use of water purification systems matched a survey-high of 84% of facilities this year, up from 78% last year. Likewise, 4 in 10 facilities have plans to implement new systems in the near future, a figure that has not cracked 3 in 10 facilities in the last 10 years. With a wide range of providers, labs should look to find the best system for their specific needs.
Use of water purification systems... Read more
