EPC joins the power of VBDS to ensure that laboratorians can report the right result, the first time with confidence for clot-based, immunoturbidimetric, and colorimetric test methodologies. Additional efficiencies are gained with an innovative, maintenance-free, single resolution pipetting system (PSR) that delivers industry leading precision."
