Advanced Instruments to Highlight Protein-Based Control for Osmometers

- Accuracy, consistent performance to be presented at CLMA ThinkLab -

ATLANTA, GEORGIA – March 10, 2008 – Advanced Instruments, Inc. (http://www.aicompanies.com/) will highlight their Protinol® Protein-Based Controls at the CLMA (Clinical Laboratory Management Association) ThinkLab ‘08 Conference & Exhibition.

At the show, Advanced Instruments will speak to the product’s consistency and accuracy in the human serum range. Protinol is specifically formulated at three levels, enabling compliance with Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments (CLIA) quality control requirements.

“In order to comply with CLIA requirements, the clinical laboratory scientists should perform and document control procedures using at least two levels of control materials daily,” said Eileen Garry, Director of Regulatory Affairs and Scientific Liaison at Advanced Instruments. “Protinol is an ideal product for any clinical laboratory that demands consistent, reliable results.”

Designed for use in clinical laboratories that test blood samples, the Protinol Protein-Based Controls come premixed and ready to use.

When used with Advanced Instruments’ osmometers, product features include the ability to:

• Track control results
• Identify shifts, trends, and random errors
• Apply control rules
• Implement corrective actions
