PRESS RELEASE_Barcelona, 19th May 2021 Monlab, a company dedicated to the clinical diagnostic laboratory service, has won a tender from the Catalan Institute of Health (ICS) with the iPeak+ rapid test reader, manufactured by IUL and rapid drug tests. The iPeak+...
Paddle blender for microbiology laboratories
With a paddle blender, you can obtain a sample perfectly representative of food, drug, cosmetics, or any specimen, due to its resistance and the use of sterile bags, which guarantee the sterilization of the sample during the whole homogenization process. The paddle...
Can a lateral flow reader quantify?
Lateral flow tests, also known as lateral flow immunochromatographic assays or rapid tests, are devices intended to detect the presence of a substance in a liquid sample without the need of any specialized equipment. A lateral flow test is easy to read, and do not...
A slide stainer for hematology: IUL’s PolyStainer
Slide staining can be tedious, and guarantee the same standards in quality from the first to the last slide is challenging. To solve this, the automatization of the process can be a solution. However, slide stainers for hematology can be expensive and tricky to use....
