  • The most commonly ordered panels from a single sample

Features & Benefits


Dimension Xpand Plus Integrated Chemistry System - Features & Benefits<br />

Full Range Integrated Capability for maximum efficiency in a compact space

"The Siemens ISD assays on the Dimension® Systems provide a number of advantages, including decreased turnaround time—instead of batching samples, which can take two or three hours to perform, we can run samples
(in random access) in about 30 minutes."
