Happy Birthday, HUMAN

“HumaFIA has been a game-changer for our laboratory. We are delighted by the substantial improvement HumaFIA has brought to our acute myocardial infarction diagnosis capabilities, overcoming challenges related to availability and diagnostic limitations encountered with other systems. This has been particularly impactful as a significant majority of our patients, approximately 80%, exhibited troponin levels below 0.1 ng/ml. Since implementing HumaFIA, we have experienced reliable and efficient cardiac marker testing. The stability and ready-to-use nature of the reagents simplify our process, allowing us to store the kits at a 4 to 30° C. The direct testing of whole blood without sample pretreatment has reduced manual steps and eliminated the need for additional buffers. We highly recommend HumaFIA to other laboratories and healthcare facilities in need of a superior cardiac marker testing solution.

“When I attended the training, I understood that TB-LAMP is beneficial for patients and technicians. Previously, the patient's first and second sputum was used in microscopy, but now, with the sensitivity of TB-LAMP, you only need to take the sputum once. With microscopy, it was difficult to handle 50 samples per day. This technique allows us to test 14 patients in one run and up to 70 in one day. For me, TB-LAMP is the best method for rapid detection of tuberculosis.”

“TB-LAMP is a DNA-based method for quick TB diagnosis. It is fast, specific and has replaced microscopy because of its built-in heating block and UV light for reading sample results. It can be used in the remotest places because it's portable.”

“HUMAN equipments have an easy operating system and reagents are of high quality which provides reliable results. We have been using HumaStar 200, since July 2020. It has user-friendly features and accurate results. We like the quality of the products and the great customer support of HUMAN.”

“I have been working with the HumaStar 200 for a year and with the HumaStar 300SR since May 2022. I appreciate the quality of the reagents and the technology of the equipment, which are also environmentally friendly. The support from the local point of contact significantly eases my work.”

“ I like the speed! A printed result of all 22 parameters in less than a minute is what I need. My concern is always to provide reliable patient results, which is why I like the consistently high quality of the reagents, which are stable for up to 36 months and which guarantee the recall of the target values of the control at all times.”

“We like HUMAN products and services, the quality and reliability of the products are very good. We are using HumaStar 600 and ‘HumaClot Duo Plus since 2019. We have a positive experience with HumaStar 600, it is a fully automated biochemistry analyser and the results of the machine are very good”.

“The high sensitivity, high throughput and the reliability of the assay, even under the challenging climate conditions, have convinced us. With this novel technology, we have the opportunity to find more tuberculosis cases than with traditional methods.”

“ HumaCount 80|30TS have a very high degree of automation, which facilitates the daily workflow. I was surprised at the many automated functions that help me in my daily work. All routine tasks, such as cleaning, reminding of the control or maintenance cycles are carried out by the device.”

“We value our new HumaCLIA 150 system for its advanced technology that supports the laboratory’s standardized workflow with highly sensitive assays.”

We have been using HUMAN products since 1996, such as HumaStar 600, HumaStar 300, HumaLyte and Humalyzer 4000. We like the quality and reliability of the products, as well as the technical support. The instruments are easy to use, very accurate and offer a perfect performance. The reagents are stable and excellent.

The HUMAFIA® instrument presents with a good compact and robust shape. The size is suitable and the instrument easily fits on a laboratory bench, even a narrow one. No issue was observed during the installation of the instrument, and it functioned well with our electrical voltage and power. PROCALCITONIN assay (PCT): Procalcitonin testing was performed for targeted groups of patients presenting with fever. The conclusion is that the assay is really strongly correlated and predictive of bacterial infection Patients presenting with cryptococcal infections or tuberculosis did not have high values. The test also helped to diagnose potential bacterial infection in cancer patients, helping to differentiate with para neoplasic fever.

As a quality manager and user of the HumaStar 200 and UPS system, I'm thoroughly satisfied. The low water consumption of the HumaStar 200 has significantly contributed to our ability to manage limited resources more effectively

“In our laboratory, we are using HumaStar 100 since 2016. During this period we analyzed more than 10000 samples, and the machine performed very well and produced reliable results. We conduct calibration checks and QC daily along with regular maintenance of the analyzer. As we experienced, the customer support of the authorized agent is readily available, friendly and helpful with the timely delivery of reagents. According to our experience, the quality of HUMAN products and customer support is very impressive.”

“ The HumaSRate 24PT has solved manual problems by eliminating the need to remove the caps from the tubes, which has speed up the work. The ability to use primary tubes allows cost and time savings as well as risk-free operation. The instrument provides accurate and repeatable data.”

“During our trial period, we had the opportunity to test CRP using HumaFIA in STAT sample mode. The experience left us thoroughly impressed. What stood out the most was the user-friendliness of HumaFIA. Its intuitive interface and streamlined process made testing remarkably easy. We were equally amazed by the speed at which results were generated, without compromising accuracy. The consistency of reproducible results was another notable feature that boosted our confidence in the system.”

“The best thing that happened was to trust HUMAN and equip the lab with HumaCLIA 150, HumaStar 100 and HumaCount 5D. We are a Big Fan of HumaCLIA 150 due to the flexibility of this instrument and the cost saving in reagents compared to other systems on the ground.”

“HumaCLIA 150 is a reliable instrument that works very precisely and is very convenient to operate. It has not only met but exceeded our expectations, especially the accurate measurement results it provides. We are happy to have found an optimal CLIA system that ensures quality.”

“We love using the new TB-LAMP technology: it is very quick and only takes about two hours for 14 samples per run. Thus a patient gets clarity on the same day whether he has TB or not. TB-LAMP provides very reliable results with a high sensitivity and specificity. Lastly, the HumaLoop T is a simple small machine which requires little infrastructure.”

Tuberculosis remains one of the major causes of death worldwide. In 2020, there were an estimated 9.9 million TB cases according to the WHO, of which about 1.5 million led to death. The majority of these cases occur in low- and middle-income countries. Most frightening, however, is the fact that of the estimated 9.9 million cases, about 4.1 million remain undetected. Gaps between the estimated number of new cases and the number actually reported are due to underreporting of cases detected and underdiagnosis or misdiagnosis. The reasons for that are manifold.

“ The clear screens provide an excellent overview of the results of the individual parameters and histrograms. The ICONbased software is as intuitive to use as a smartphone. The target value upload via the 2D scanner saves me a lot of time and all values are transferred correctly without typing errors.”

“Since January 2019, we have been using the HumaStar 300SR. It is very precise and accurate. We use the HumaStar 300SR analyzer extensively and are impressed with the quality of both the instrument and the reagents. The interaction between the system’s reagents and the instrument is perfectly harmonized.”

I was looking for a new analyzer to replace an outdated, fully-automated analyzer with high maintenance costs in my private laboratory. The proposal I considered was to switch to the fully-automated coagulation analyzer HumaClot Pro. Today, I greatly appreciate the homogenization of the reaction mix through stirring bars in the reaction cuvettes and also the rapid generation of results. My decision to switch was supported by the fact that the test results are perfectly comparable to the results of my previous fully-automated analyzer. With the installation of the HumaClot Pro, I also introduced specialty assays, like Hemostat Antithrombinliquid and Hemostat D-Dimer. Previously, I used to run both types of assays as radial immunodiffusion tests (RID) before the installation of HumaClot Pro.

“I like the HumaLoop T and the easy handling very much. As a journey from the capital Luanda to my lab takes about 3 days by road, it is especially important for us to have a reliable device that requires only a minimum service every 12 months.”
