With the broadest range of immunometric mono-test panels, CHORUS TRIO also features technological innovation and Italian design" he added.

This single parametric system for immunometric assay contains all the reagents necessary to perform the assay and requires minimal manual operation while allowing for simultaneous testing. It can easily adapt to the needs of any clinical analysis laboratory.

"With this agreement, we are expanding further our activity in the USA, adding immunoassays to our product portfolio". This is in line with our strategy - initiated in Europe and other geographies - to bring solutions for laboratory decentralization. DIESSE CHORUS line is a great choice to make testing easy, immediate and accurate when lab automation is not an option. Our goal is to bring this smart platform to the US market and leverage our established competencies for the benefits of healthcare professionals and patients throughout the country".
