As we prepare to attend ESCMID, one message remains at the heart of every conversation we’ll be having: Reliable results matter.
In diagnostics, the journey from sample collection to result has always been important to get right. Every step - collection, transport, processing - has the potential to impact accuracy. And it’s accuracy that directly influences clinical decisions, patient outcomes, and, ultimately, lives.
Expanding Access Through Self-Collection
One of the most exciting shifts in diagnostics is the rise of self-collection. By enabling patients to collect their own samples, healthcare systems can:
- Reduce pressure on clinical resources
- Improve patient convenience and access
- Maintain high-quality, reliable results when done correctly
The key is ensuring that self-collection solutions are designed with the same rigor as clinician-collected samples—because reliability cannot be compromised. Which is why we are excited to be bringing our U-SWAB™ self-collection devices to the forefront at ESCMID.
Driving Efficiency Through Automation
Automation continues to redefine laboratory workflows. We’ll be talking about how integrating solutions such as the Sener Autoplak platform (and other platforms), alongside MWE’s SIGMA Liquid range, enables labs to:
- Standardise processes
- Reduce manual handling
- Improve throughput and consistency
We believe automation is about enabling laboratories to deliver faster, more dependable results at an efficient scale. We’re here to make automation accessible to labs of all sizes.
Offering Better Options for Patients and Clinicians
Healthcare is not one-size-fits-all. We endeavour to provide options, whether in collection methods or processing workflows, that support both clinicians and patients.
For clinicians, it means saving time and reducing workload.
For patients, it means greater choice and accessibility in how they engage with their care.
Because Results Matter
Because results matter reflects our commitment to delivering accurate, reliable solutions that support confident clinical decisions. In diagnostics, precision isn’t optional. It can directly impact patient outcomes and in many cases, it can be life-saving.
As we head into ESCMID Global 2026, we’re looking forward to meaningful conversations around how innovation in sampling, automation, and workflow design can continue to support better healthcare outcomes. Come find us in hall B2, booth F24.
If you’re attending ESCMID, we’d love to connect and explore how we can support your goals.
