In the presence of various medical professionals and a large number of laboratory doctors from the Latakia Governorate, the Syrian Modern Laboratory unveiled the V8 Nexus device, Syria's first state-of-the-art capillary electrophoresis device, which is British-made. During a lecture organized by the Syrian Modern Laboratory to introduce the functions of this global device, Dr. Alin Aywaz, a laboratory medicine specialist from Armenia, confirmed to Al-Mashhad that she was present to supervise the installation of the V8 Nexus at the Syrian Modern Laboratory under the guidance of Dr. Rania Shamis. She was also there to train the medical and laboratory staff on how to operate the device.
Dr. Aywaz explained that the V8 Nexus is one of the latest pioneering laboratory diagnostic devices globally. It is a next-generation analyzer from Helena, and it is faster, more connected, and more flexible than ever before, with accelerated capillary technology. She also noted that it features seamless connectivity with laboratory pathways and a unique, integrated workflow system from Helena. "No other system comes close to this level of power," she emphasized.
During the introductory lecture, Dr. Aywaz outlined that the V8 Nexus capillary electrophoresis device offers highly sensitive analysis, with reaction testing and automated hemoglobin analysis for complete blood count testing. Additionally, it features flexible network connectivity for seamless translation, real-time tool control, and output of results. She pointed out that the device is capable of diagnosing liver-related diseases, including cirrhosis, inflammation, and cancer.
Dr. Aywaz also highlighted that, with the presence of this device at the Syrian Modern Laboratory, patients no longer need to undergo biopsies. A single blood sample, when analyzed, can accurately diagnose conditions such as those related to liver diseases, without the need for invasive procedures.
