At Alpha-Tec Systems we believe that patient well being, treatment cost, and healthcare as a whole can all be improved by innovation in the clinical laboratory. The handling and preparation of the patient specimen is one of the single most important steps in the clinical laboratory process. To aid clinical laboratories in maximizing the diagnostic value of each specimen, Alpha-Tec Systems provides unique reagents which have been created specifically to optimize the process of collecting, transporting and preparing patient samples.

With our unique reagent systems, Alpha-Tec Systems is focused on improving the fields of mycobacteriology and parasitology. Our mycobacteriology system has dramatically improved the ability of laboratories to recover accurate positive AFB specimens and reduced the occurrence of contaminated / reprocessed samples by rigidly controlling pH throughout the specimen preparation process. Our parasitology system has replaced toxic mercury-containing fixatives with an environmentally safe alternative that provides for improved morphology, significantly increased parasite recovery, and compatibility with EIA technologies.
