Innovation for Science. That’s been Helena’s mission statement since the company was founded and the driving force behind our Focus Group Road Tour. Input from real-world laboratorians like you is helping Helena continue to solve real-world problems today.

• Participants at the 2018 Milwaukee and Chicago meetings asked if our SPIFE Anti-Dara* antiserum, developed to remove the effect of Daratumumab from blood specimens for SPE and IFE testing, might also be used to eliminate the cross-reactive interference that Blood Banks see. That started an investigation and today our Anti-Dara is in clinical trials for transfusion medicine as well as in the approval process for SPE and IFE.

• An attendee from Mississippi presented a novel idea for handling fibrin in serum specimens from cancer patients. Thrombin Drops are in the works!

• Another lab was seeing a big increase in Alpha 1 Antitrypsin testing. We now have a pre-submission of SPIFE A1AT* with higher sensitivity and over twice the throughput of existing methods.

• Also, a more robust v2 of our Myeloma Module for reporting SPE and IFE results is now available and v3 is in the works. Our Touch System continues to be the frontrunner in zone electrophoresis and we’re responding to requests for higher capacity capillary testing with the new Nexus MAX with a throughput of 552 SPE in six hours.

This catalog highlights many of Helena’s flagship products today – and a peak into the future. But the work doesn’t stop here. If you have a problem in the laboratory or an idea that could make your job easier, bring it to us! We are eager to listen and put our best work into meeting the needs of today’s laboratory.

Best personal regards,

Tipton Golias

NEW! URINESAFE URINE COLLECTION CUP Gasket for

leak resistance

Finally, a urine cup that can withstand a pneumatic tube

transfer system without springing a leak or breaking the

bank! Those are two of the design specifications of this

new specimen cup now available from Labcon.

Taking cues from their expertise with centrifuge tubes, a

gasket integrated in the lid provides a tight, leak-resistant

seal. High-quality plastic and precision engineering

mean the cup won't shatter during transfer and the

threads mesh cleanly and smoothly allowing the lid to be

screwed on easily.

H-Pette and H-Pette II provide a safe and easy way to dispense

a controlled drop of blood to a glass slide for preparing

differential slides.

New H-Pette II features a metal cannula for ease of insertion

through the stopper of collection tubes.

Using H-Pette is simple. Just insert H-Pette into the stopper of

any size blood collection tube, invert tube and transfer a drop of

blood to a glass slide or test cassette. Original molded H-Pettes

are also available with an integral blade for making differential

slides. H-Pettes remain in place in the stopper and are disposed

of with the tubes. They can also be easily removed if necessary.

U-Pettes provide an easy way to dispense blood

into a test card or cassette, like our Cascade Abrazo

or Abbott’s iSTAT, without uncapping the tube. The

unique tab design allows blood to be dispensed two

different ways as needed.

For larger samples, place the tip of the U-Pette all the way to the bottom of the sample well. Counterpressure with the tabs while pushing down on the tube to dispense sample as needed.

For small volumes, hold the tip over the sample port to dispense sample into the port by using the tabs to counterpressure like a syringe.

THE GOLD STANDARDThe 2017 revision of the McDonald criteria for diagnosing

multiple sclerosis places an increased emphasis on CSF

testing. When the diagnosis is unclear, rather than wait

for the disease to present with more overt symptoms or

MRI findings, the new recommendations are to test for

oligoclonal bands.

Developed by leading experts, SPIFE IgG IEF technique is

the “gold standard” method for determining intrathecal IgG

synthesis. This method uses highly sensitive immunoblotting

resulting in a 95% sensitivity level. The concentration of

individual bands may be as low as 2% of the total CSF IgG

but can be seen against the background of polyclonal IgG

present through filtration from the blood, even while the

total CSF IgG concentration is within the reference range.

D I A G N O S I N G M U LT I P L E S C L E R O S I S

3389 5 profiles3385 10 profiles

It is now recommended that the presence of CSF oligoclonal bands be allowed to substitute for the dissemination of time criteria in diagnosing patients with clinical symptoms of multiple sclerosis.

AJ Thompson, BL Banwell, F Barkhof, et. al., The Lancet, December 2017

N E W !

The SPIFE IgG IEF method of nitrocellulose immunoblotting “remains the ‘gold standard’ method recommended by the International Consensus publication and is preferred over IEF followed by immunofixation. The onus is on the protagonists of in-gel immunofixation to show that it performs to the same level as the de-facto standard in both sensitivity as well as the very wide range of IgG concentrations.”

Emeritus Prof E J Thompson, PhD MD DSc FRCPath FRCP November 2017

Dr. Thompson, together with his team developed the IgG IEF/immunoblot method and have used it confirm the diagnosis of multiple sclerosis on a wide international scale.

Available total protein, albumin, free light chain ratio and nephelometric data can also be incorporated for review. If it’s paired, it’s there.

Scroll through to spot changes Reports are presented as scrollable thumbnails to quickly detect progression or regression of disease. Initial, review and release – Queues with ID audit trail

are provided to collate initial results by the operator, reports awaiting review, and final results ready to report to the clinician.

The new Myeloma Module is an optional tracking feature that allows quick review and reporting of results from both the SPIFE zone and the V8 CE systems.

Invert the background of IFE images on screen to create a “negative” view to enhance visualization and aid in interpretation. View simultaneously with positive image system.

Reports and worklists are completely customizable. Create a single-page report that includes one patient's SPE and IFE with interpretation.

THE GOLD STANDARDThe 2017 revision of the McDonald criteria for diagnosing

multiple sclerosis places an increased emphasis on CSF

testing. When the diagnosis is unclear, rather than wait

for the disease to present with more overt symptoms or

MRI findings, the new recommendations are to test for

oligoclonal bands.

Developed by leading experts, SPIFE IgG IEF technique is

the “gold standard” method for determining intrathecal IgG

synthesis. This method uses highly sensitive immunoblotting

resulting in a 95% sensitivity level. The concentration of

individual bands may be as low as 2% of the total CSF IgG

but can be seen against the background of polyclonal IgG

present through filtration from the blood, even while the

total CSF IgG concentration is within the reference range.

D I A G N O S I N G M U LT I P L E S C L E R O S I S

3389 5 profiles3385 10 profiles

It is now recommended that the presence of CSF oligoclonal bands be allowed to substitute for the dissemination of time criteria in diagnosing patients with clinical symptoms of multiple sclerosis.

AJ Thompson, BL Banwell, F Barkhof, et. al., The Lancet, December 2017

N E W !

The SPIFE IgG IEF method of nitrocellulose immunoblotting “remains the ‘gold standard’ method recommended by the International Consensus publication and is preferred over IEF followed by immunofixation. The onus is on the protagonists of in-gel immunofixation to show that it performs to the same level as the de-facto standard in both sensitivity as well as the very wide range of IgG concentrations.”

Emeritus Prof E J Thompson, PhD MD DSc FRCPath FRCP November 2017

Dr. Thompson, together with his team developed the IgG IEF/immunoblot method and have used it confirm the diagnosis of multiple sclerosis on a wide international scale.

NEW! URINESAFE URINE COLLECTION CUP Gasket for

leak resistance

Finally, a urine cup that can withstand a pneumatic tube

transfer system without springing a leak or breaking the

bank! Those are two of the design specifications of this

new specimen cup now available from Labcon.

Taking cues from their expertise with centrifuge tubes, a

gasket integrated in the lid provides a tight, leak-resistant

seal. High-quality plastic and precision engineering

mean the cup won't shatter during transfer and the

threads mesh cleanly and smoothly allowing the lid to be

screwed on easily.

H-Pette and H-Pette II provide a safe and easy way to dispense

a controlled drop of blood to a glass slide for preparing

differential slides.

New H-Pette II features a metal cannula for ease of insertion

through the stopper of collection tubes.

Using H-Pette is simple. Just insert H-Pette into the stopper of

any size blood collection tube, invert tube and transfer a drop of

blood to a glass slide or test cassette. Original molded H-Pettes

are also available with an integral blade for making differential

slides. H-Pettes remain in place in the stopper and are disposed

of with the tubes. They can also be easily removed if necessary.
