FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Microscan to Instruct Barcoding Workshop for Clinical Diagnostics at
AACC 2010
RENTON, WA, July 2010 — Microscan, the global technology leader in track and trace solutions for life
sciences, will conduct an educational barcoding workshop at the upcoming American Association for
Clinical Chemistry (AACC) Annual Meeting and Clinical Lab Expo, scheduled to take place July 25-29,
2010 in Anahaim, CA. The workshop will be held at the Anaheim Marriott Hotel’s Grand Ballroom in Salon
E on Wednesday July 28, from 6:00 to 7:30 PM.
As the premier global provider of embedded barcode scanners and imagers for clinical diagnostics
applications, Microscan will instruct a workshop titled “Barcoding and Other Automatic Identification
Technologies and Applications in Clinical Diagnostics and Lab Automation.” Workshop attendees will
learn the basics of common 1D and 2D symbologies used in clinical applications. The workshop also will
educate attendees about technologies and parameters involved in acquiring and reading such codes and
why seemingly “good” codes often perform poorly.
Microscan has served major clinical diagnostics, medical device, and laboratory automation customers for
over 25 years, and brings a strong portfolio of proven solutions to the life science market. To meet
specific customer requirements, Microscan continues to develop new and innovative Track, Trace and
Control approaches for regulated manufacturing environments.
Course instructor Niels Wartenberg, Senior Applications Engineer, brings over 10 years of experience
instructing barcode technology overview courses for the Association of Laboratory Automation. Prior to
joining Microscan, Wartenberg spent more than eight years implementing barcode technology in clinical
laboratory systems for a major manufacturer of diagnostics instrumentation. Additionally, instructor Dr.
John Agapakis, Director of OEM Development, has a broad technology and business leadership
background with extensive experience in the automatic identification and machine vision industries for
more than 25 years.
In addition to the workshop, Dr. Agapakis will present an OEM Lecture Series titled “New Developments
in Embedded Automatic Identification Technologies for Clinical Diagnostics & Lab Automation
Instrumentation” on Wednesday, July 28, 2010 at 8:40 AM in Room 213B at the Anaheim Convention
Center.
