The new form factor for Savanna, shown here at AACC, is evolving, but looks great already. Small footprint, modular, compact and fungible.

Quidel’s Flu Bug draws the attention of onlookers at the annual APHL meeting in Pasadena.

[Doug Bryant @DougBryantQDEL]

Why is Flu always a danger to 1/3 of the US population who are immune compromised, including pregnant women or the very young and old? See the video showing positive test results over years. Flu never really goes away. Fever and sore throat in June? It could be Flu.

[Doug Bryant @DougBryantQDEL]

Wonder just how big this recent Influenza season was? Look at the spread each day. The red is Flu A and the blue is Flu B. The data are from 1.2 million patients whose test results were transmitted from many Sofia analyzers to Quidel’s Virena cloud.

[Doug Bryant @DougBryantQDEL]

I was under the impression that Strep throat occurred only in the winter. This is clearly not the case, and perhaps kids ages 3-15 with sore throats should be tested and treated year-round? They’re the ones at greatest risk of rheumatic fever!

Thanks to our colleagues at Henry Schein Medical for recognizing Quidel's Sofia 2 with their New Product of the Year award. #AllinHSM

[Doug Bryant @DougBryantQDEL]

[Doug Bryant @DougBryantQDEL]

Just watched a terrific webinar on point of care Lyme disease testing in physicians' offices. Congratulations to Quidel's Janet Anna who hosted, and many thanks to Dr. Robert Dracker for his fine presentation.

[Doug Bryant @DougBryantQDEL]

Congratulations to Dr. John Tamerius on his 35th anniversary with Quidel. Many years, and many, many accomplishments. Thanks John.
