• Good Technique
• Pipette Maintenance
• Diagnostica Stago 

Welcome to the fifth e-New Diagnostics newsletter from Axis-Shield UK and the first in 2008.  May I take this opportunity to wish you a belated Happy New Year!

Our new order management software was installed at the end of 2007 and is now up and running and working well (most of the time!). You may still be asked for your delivery address because we are continuing to add these details as we ago along, but in the long term ordering should be made a lot easier.

Work begins on our new look website early in February.  The aim is to make the website much more user friendly by having separate sections for laboratory based customers and point of care customers.

In this edition, I thought it would be useful to revisit the most popular items from last year in case you missed them.

We do hope you enjoy reading e-New Diagnostics and would love to hear your feedback – sue.younghusband@axis-shielduk.com

Kind regards,

Sue Younghusband
