Vircell at 24th ECCMID – Barcelona, Spain

The 24th European Congress of Clinical Microbiology and Infectious Diseases (ECCMID) has just ended with a total of more than 10,000 delegates. Scientists and clinicians from all over the world gathered in Barcelona to share state of the art updates, experience and information on cutting edge science and technology. The “Top 5” participating countries have been: Spain: 761 UK: 698; USA: 637; Germany: 600; France: 590.

Vircell, once again, was present as exhibitor in one of the most important congresses about infectious diseases around the world. During these days, our staff had the opportunity to meet with some of our distributors, key opinion leaders and potential customers interested in our products. 

We are very pleased with the great interest all our visitors showed in our diagnostic solutions, with a special note on our newVirClia Monotest product line together with the ThunderBolt® automated platform and with the improved Speed-oligo® cassette and Speed-oligo® Workstation. Both type of assays and platforms became the most popular and demanded lines at this ECCMID’s edition.

We would also like to mention that a poster about Speed-oligo® Mycobacteria was presented at the Scientific Exhibition: Multi-Centre Evaluation of Speed-oligo® Mycobacteria Version 2 Assay for Identification of Mycobacterium Spp. In Routine Clinical Mycobacteriology.

Vircell is very satisfied with this year’s results and deeply thanks all attendees for their visit. It has been a great pleasure and privilege for us to have met such a renowned network of professionals from the field.

We look forward to seeing you all again at the next edition in Copenhagen (25 – 28 April 2015).
