Seegene introduces the Hepatitis A/B/C simultaneous test product at the Korean Society of Clinical Microbiology conference.

Jul 12, 2010

13th Korean Society of Clinical Microbiology Conference 2010 was held at the Seoul Olympic Parktel on 8th and 9th July over two days.

Under the theme of ‘cooperation among various special fields in relation to clinical microbiology', this conference dealt in depth with the role of the Korean Society of Clinical Microbiology in the areas of infectious disease diagnostics, antimicrobial tolerance, and infectious disease control. The conference had the participation of many experts related to clinical microbiology and infection.

At this conference, Seegene introduced the Magicplex HepaTrio Real-time Test, which is able to test three types of hepatitis (A/B/C) at the same time, from a collected blood sample.

This product can detect hepatitis viruses even in the incubation period, and is expected to be useful especially for the early diagnosis of hepatitis.

Moreover, the participants showed an interest in the product and expected that it would make a huge contribution to the fast, accurate treatment of hepatitis because it is able to easily identify patients with superinfections, which can cause more serious liver diseases over single infections.

In the evening, the beer party added an amicable atmosphere to the event, where participants could talk their fatigue away and solidify their friendships.

On the 9th, the second day of the symposium, a micro marathon was held where participants ran around the Olympic Park before the symposium began. This marathon event had been prepared jointly by doctors of the Korean Society for Laboratory Medicine and Seegene. There was a rumor that they had concerns about possible bad weather conditions. However, the marathon began with light warm-up gymnastics in the fresh early morning air in pleasant clean weather.

This marathon was more significant to all the participants because it was an event not only for improving the health of their minds and bodies but also for raising the “obstinate infectious disease children support” fund.
