HER-2/neu ELISA
Siemens Healthcare Diagnostics
The HER-2/neu ELISA is an in vitro, diagnostic device intended for use in the quantitative determination of serum HER-2/neu in women with metastatic breast cancer who have an initial value of 15 ng/ml or greater. HER-2/neu values obtained may be used in the follow-up and monitoring of patients with metastatic breast cancer. HER-2/neu values should be used in conjunction with information available from clinical and other diagnostic procedures in the management of breast cancer. The clinical utility of the serum measurement of HER-2/neu as a prognostic indicator for early recurrence and in the management of patients on immunotherapy regimens has not been fully established.

STaK-Chex® Plus Retics 5-Part Differential Control Offers Efficiency and Cost-Savings
Automated multi-parameter hematology analyzers are ubiquitous in the clinical laboratory and clinical hematology laboratory settings. Evaluating several parameters at once offers obvious advantages for time and cost-savings when running patient samples. Multiple separate quality controls are typically needed to monitor multi-parameter hematology analyzer calibration. For laboratories that use Coulter® hematology analyzers, Streck has created a quality control product that offers increased efficiency and convenience - a combined control that includes all CBC parameters, reticulocytes and nucleated red blood cells which can be analyzed in a single run. This quality control reagent reduces overall operating costs by streamlining the quality control process, reducing the number of control runs and reagents used.
