HORIBA UK Ltd. have installed their first Yumizen H500 at the National Centre for Sports and Exercise Medicine, East Midlands, (NCSEM-EM) based at Loughborough University. The NCSEM-EM is one of three hubs together with London and Sheffield and is an Olympic legacy project aiming to translate high quality research in sport, exercise and physical activity into health outcomes that will improve the health and wellbeing of the nation.

HORIBA UK Ltd, Medical Division, announce that Coventry University’s Department of Biomolecular and Sports Science has recently installed new HORIBA hematology and clinical chemistry analyzers to enhance the future employability of their students. In recognition of NHS requirements, Coventry can now offer their Biomedical Science degree students practical experience of real-life clinical instrumentation and applications. Consequently, this enables these future Biomedical Scientists to become truly enthusiastic about subjects that may otherwise seem dry theoretically.

Spire Healthcare's on­going partnership with and use of HORIBA Medical's hematology analyzers continues to go from strength to strength, as demonstrated by last summer's London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games. During which, the pathology services managed by Spire provided temporary support to and healthcare management of an extremely diverse community the size of a large town!

As the practice of transferring day-to-day related management responsibility, Managed Services offer a strategic method to enable improved effective and efficient operations. HORIBA Medical has recently extended its long standing partnership with Path Links, the pioneering integrated pathology service encompassing Lincolnshire, by entering into a Managed Service Contract (MSC).

Accurate testing of sugar content in cider for Quality Control and Quality Assurance purposes is critical to ensuring conformity and consistency of final cider product, as well as delivering significant financial savings. As specialists in chemistry analysis for a broad spectrum of analytes, HORIBA Medical has placed the first ABX Pentra 400 bench top chemistry analyzer into the UK Cider industry at the Bulmers.

This case study demonstrates how the ABX Pentra 400 is ideal for intuitive operation by a number of teams in a Unilever human health research facility, providing validated and reproducible results for comparative international studies.

This case study discusses how the ABX Pentra 400 can enable researchers to expand their research through quicker turnaround of routine and specific research tests.

This case study demonstrates how the ABX Pentra 400 is ideal for intuitive operation by a number of teams in the School of Sport and Exercise Sciences at Loughborough Universiy providing validated and reproducible results for a variety of exercise and health studies.

This Case Study discusses how the ABX Pentra 60C+ has enhanced the quality of patient care and well-being as part of an integrated point of care service.

This Case Study discusses how the ABX Pentra 60C+ has significantly reduced waiting times in busy hematology clinics by eliminating delays in results delivery.

Here we discuss how Pentra SAfe is enabling Frimley Park Hospital NHS Foundation Trust to comply with these CPA requirements on its eight ABX Pentra 60C+ POC hematology analyzers.

This Case Study discusses how the ABX Pentra 60C+ hematology analyzer has significantly reduced waiting times in busy oncology clinics by eliminating delays in results delivery.

The ABX Pentra 60C+ delivers vein to brain results within 8 minutes. Having clearly demonstrated the advantages to the patient of delivering vital blood test results into clinicians’ hands within 8 minutes of venepuncture, the Point of Care (POC) team at Frimley Park Hospital NHS Foundation Trust has now set up a ‘satellite lab’ in a primary care setting. Outpatients’ clinics and GPs alike at the brand new Aldershot Centre for Health can now utilize a highly compact hematology analyzer with 5-part cytochemical differential, the ABX Pentra 60C+, to ensure that their patients receive the best possible care.

It is becoming more and more important for laboratories to consider future growth when looking at their analyzer requirements. With hospitals serving an ever increasing population, reliable analyzers capable of processing larger workloads are an absolute necessity. This case study discusses how the ABX Pentra DX 120 and ABX Pentra DF 120 SPS high-throughput analyzers, with integrated slide preparation and the ABX ML Data Manager, enable better informed and reliable decision making.

Smooth working practices have been recognised as valuable to the efficient use of pathology staff time, with IT-based solutions critical to data management and automatic results validation. Here we discuss how the ABX Pentra ML data management software has met the specific needs of Airedale General Hospital for workflow enhancement and enabled the pathology laboratory to move towards LEAN working.

Sports science research laboratories have increasing requirements for reliable and easy to use hematology analyzers. As such, a compact system that provides same day results is the practical solution to expensive outsourcing. This case study demonstrates how the ABX Pentra 60C+ has enabled the Department of Sport and Exercise Science at Aberystwyth University to reduce running costs and bring hematology sample analysis in-house. Validated and reproducible results are therefore provided for a variety of exercise and health studies.
