Luminex Corporation will unveil its new sample-to-answer system for infectious disease testing, ARIES™ at the European Congress of Clinical Microbiology and Infectious Diseases (ECCMID). ARIES' scalable throughput, easy to use design, and networked data management software will deliver rapid results with a simple workflow.

The five assay launch menu targeted for the ARIES system will include: Flu A/B and RSV, HSV 1&2, Norovirus and Clostridium difficile. Future menu items will be announced at a later date.

"ARIES will revolutionize molecular diagnostic testing with a system that integrates seamlessly into the laboratory," said Russell W. Bradley, senior vice president, corporate development and global marketing. "Enabling laboratories to produce faster results, and better manage their QC and compliance requirements can increase service levels to hospitals and doctors for improved patient care."

The unveiling will take place at the European Congress of Clinical Microbiology and Infectious Diseases (ECCMID) May 11, 2014 at 11am CEST, booth #23. Russell W. Bradley will introduce the innovative sample-to-answer system, ARIES, and give a short demonstration.
