DIAsource proposes alternatives to Diasorin and Siemens discontinued RIA assays

Some diagnostic companies have recently taken the decision to stop manufacturing RIA assays, mainly has this specialty field does not fit any longer in their long term strategic business plans. Examples are: Siemens Healthcare Diagnostics Products Gmbh (Siemens Headquarter) has decided to no longer support the full DPC Coat-A-Count RIA product line and DiaSorin who stopped production of the majority of their RIA products.

This means that assistance in resolving method-related issues for these RIA products will no longer be available within neither Siemens nor DiaSorin either on-site or by telephone.  
As a leading RIA specialist diagnostic company, we strive to deliver sustainable solutions in a selected fields of specialities. We therefore continue and remain committed to offer RIA specialty assays in the field of Endocrinology.
