Make allergy testing routine
About this session
Allergies are a common and growing problem in the United States and around the world. In 2018, about 32 million people were diagnosed with food allergies in the U.S. And just as the prevalence of allergies is increasing, so is the labor shortage in the laboratory workforce. Learn how the Siemens Healthineers automated solution for allergy testing helped DB Diagnosticos’ large reference laboratory in Brazil to reduce manual tasks, expand their testing menu, and grow their business.
