Business Trip Asia-Pacific

Dr. Sebastian Runkel started his business trip in Jakarta, Indonesia and paid together with Teo Chee Kian (Area Business Director), our valued distributors Proline and Innodia a visit. They gave an internal training mainly focusing on the quality and differentiation of DiaSys reagents features, basic chemistry and quality control (including case studies, troubleshooting and six sigma best practice) but also dealing with topics as immunoturbidimetry, renal disease portfolio and iron metabolism.

In total, about 20 participants of Proline (marketing, technical support, QC and production) and Innodia (technical support) were present.

The participants were happy to have a chance to address questions and discuss problems.

Moreover, Dr. Runkel organized an internal training at the Sysmex office Subang Jaya, Malaysia. Requested topics included e.g. the quality and differentiation of DiaSys reagents features but also the renal disease portfolio, rheumatoid factor as well as the lipid portfolio.

This training was also very effective and led to fruitful discussions. Everyone was pleased and we would like to thank Proline, Innodia and Sysmex for the warm welcome and their hospitality.

A highlight of this business trip was to participate at the 9^th Sysmex Scientific Seminar – Urinanalysis, Biochemistry & Immunology in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.

This event is organized annually by Sysmex and is endorsed by the Malaysian Society of Nephrology. The intension is to provide a unique platform for healthcare professionals to discuss and share information on the latest developments as well as the application of innovative technologies. More than 100 participants (healthcare practitioners, clinicians and healthcare consultants) were attending this event.

The seminar topic was “Innovations in the Diagnostics of Kidney and Liver Diseases”. The scope of the presentations extended from innovative laboratory solutions to clinical approaches for improved disease management.

Dr. Sebastian Runkel gave a lecture entitled “DiaSys’s Renal Diagnosis Portfolio with focus on Cystatin C”.

The 9^th Sysmex Scientific Seminar was a great success with lively discussions after the lectures. The participants were pleased and are looking forward to the Sysmex Scientific Seminar next year.
