Date:7/29/2008

- Product launches: new FDA-cleared test for vitamin D sufficiency, new antimicrobial-susceptibility system/panels for MRSA and other pathogens,

and enhanced automated laboratory systems - The latest systems to screen for lead poisoning will also be on view

WASHINGTON, July 29 /PRNewswire/ -- Visitors to Booth 3210 at the 2008 AACC/ASCLS Clinical Lab Expo will see Magellan Biosciences' continued emergence as a new leader in clinical-diagnostics markets worldwide. The Chelmsford, Massachusetts-based company and its subsidiaries, ESA Biosciences, Dynex Technologies, and TREK Diagnostic Systems, will feature products designed to help doctors make better, faster, more-informed treatment decisions with diagnostic assays and automated systems for the busy clinical lab, as well as a point-of-care system for the clinician's office. The Clinical Lab Expo opens today at Walter E. Washington Convention Center in Washington, DC. Magellan will hold a press conference this afternoon at 2:45 ET in room 103 B.
