NEW YORK (GenomeWeb) – When Abbott recently received a CE mark for its most advanced point-of-care instrument, the milestone initiated an inaugural product launch from within a portfolio of next-generation Dx instruments that will soon be available to customers, the firm said.

The instruments are part of Abbott's Alinity family, which consists of diagnostic instruments and tests within the firm's point-of-care, immunoassay, clinical chemistry, hematology, blood and plasma screening, and molecular diagnostics product segments.
