AACC 2020
Explore Workflow Designed for Every Laboratory, Everywhere during the AACC 2020 virtual event
The American Association of Clinical Chemistry recently announced its decision to hold a fully virtual event in 2020. This is in response to the increasing uncertainty associated with COVID-related travel restrictions and customer preferences. We are excited to be one of the first vendors to join AACC in this virtual format.
AACC’s Annual Scientific Meeting & Clinical Lab Expo, taking place December 14–17, will include many activities that you are used to experiencing in a live event: scientific sessions, poster presentations, an Expo showcase and networking opportunities.
Don’t miss out on these opportunities. Visit the AACC website to register for:
Scientific sessionsBeckman Coulter’s scientific sessions will be pre-recorded and AACC will make these available to you on-demand.
Virtual Expo showcaseConnect with a Beckman Coulter representative through our on-line showcase during AACC’s Virtual Expo. Learn more about our workflow solutions, tailored for laboratories of all sizes, as well as clinical solutions focused on serology, sepsis and cardiac testing.
Ask your Beckman Coulter representative for more opportunities to participate at this year’s virtual AACC.
We look forward to meeting with you.

Poster Extending the Linear Reading of a Luminometer
Non-linearity of the relationship between sample light output and photon counts or relative light unit can lead to imprecision of concentration results. Presented at AACC 2019, see the results of a study comparing chemiluminescence immunoassays with the traditional photon counting method and the combined counting method.

Poster A New and Improved Chemiluminscent Substrate
When it comes to immunoassay performance characteristics, the substrate of an assay makes a difference. In this study, presented at AACC 2019, find out how the new LumiFAST chemiluminescent substrate generated better light signal response than the Lumi-Phos 530 substrate.

Poster Improvements in Precision of Low-volume Pipetting on an Automated Analyzer
Automated analyzers have improved precision and accuracy of patient samples. However, the desire to conserve patient samples collected has led to a need for even smaller volume sample delivery. Find out how a team set out to develop motion profiles that would help achieve very high precision (<1% CV) for small volume delivery—while maintaining fast throughput and eliminating sample carryover with disposable pipette tips.

Poster Analytical Performance Characteristics of Access PCT
Review the evidence demonstrating strong correlation and concordance of the Access PCT immunoassay to a well-established PCT predicate method. Showcased at AACC 2019, this clinical laboratory study confirms the precision and reproducibility of Access PCT assay results, which are returned within 20 minutes.

Poster Development of an Assay for Measurement of Total IgE
IgE is a member of the immunoglobulin family of proteins produced by plasma cells. Elevated levels are commonly seen in cases of allergic diseases and other conditions. Read this development study presented at AACC 2019 evaluating the performance of a new Total IgE assay.
DownloadLABORATORIES OF ALL SIZES CAN BENEFIT FROM AUTOMATION
Thank you for joining us at the AACC laboratory medicine conference which took place this year in Orange County, California, a community that we and our local associates have been privileged to serve for over 80 years. Visitors to our booth at the Anaheim Convention Center networked with clinical laboratory peers and heard from scientific experts. They learned about cutting-edge advancements in clinical chemistry, hematology, clinical information management tools, laboratory automation and more.Bring the benefit of automation for all
Automation isn’t just for ultra high-volume laboratories. With configurations for low-, mid- and high-volume laboratories in our booth, visitors could:- Get an in-depth view of how the innovative DxA 5000* total laboratory automation system (coming soon) helps deliver unparalleled rapid and consistent turnaround times, provides a new level of comprehensive preanalytical sample quality detection and significantly reduces the number of manual processing steps to improve laboratory efficiency
- See how the modular open platform of the Copan WASP® DT: Walkaway Specimen Processor adapts to the changing needs of your clinical microbiology laboratory. Visitors found out how they could automate all core aspects of microbiology specimen processing, including plating and streaking, Gram-stain slide preparation and enrichment broth inoculation
Deliver greater insights through clinical informatics
We helped visitors identify ways to save time, increase productivity and deliver greater insights with the DxONE clinical informatics portfolio, featuring:Accelerate care with a menu that matters
Visitors learned how laboratories can empower clinical staff in identifying prevalent and costly health risks sooner with solutions such as:- Early Sepsis Indicator
- Access hsTnI, the first true high-sensitivity troponin I assay
- Access AMH
- Access Sensitive Estradiol
- Prostate Health Index (phi)

Unlock hidden value through performance partnership
Visitors discovered how their peers are saving costs, improving efficiency and preparing their laboratories for the future with Danaher Business System workflow consultation.
Scientific Session A Race Against Time: The Challenge of Sepsis for Clinicians and Laboratories
Sepsis is life-threatening organ dysfunction caused by a dysregulated host response to infection. It is estimated that this condition affects approximately 30 million1 people worldwide every year and carries a 25–30% mortality rate. Sepsis is also costly to healthcare organizations, with more than $24 billion2 spent on it annually in the United States alone.
Watch the recording of our scientific session on sepsis to earn 1.5 CE credits.
Watch now
Early detection and diagnosis are key to stopping the progression of sepsis. Watch the recording of this educational event presented at the 71st AACC Annual Scientific Meeting to hear from a panel of experts about the diagnosis and treatment of this deadly condition.
Viewers will learn to:
Viewers will learn to:
- Describe the healthcare burden of sepsis
- Summarize the clinical guidelines used in establishing a sepsis protocol
- Discuss the roles of the various stakeholders in the diagnosis and management of sepsis
- Discuss sepsis biomarkers and antibiotic stewardship
