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 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.

Alpha-Tec Systems is focused on improving the fields of clinical mycobacteriology and parasitology with unique reagent technology. Our mycobacteriology reagents can improve the accuracy of AFB diagnostics and reduce the occurrence of contaminated or reprocessed samples by controlling pH during the specimen preparation process. Our parasitology system has replaced toxic mercury based fixatives with an environmentally safe alternative that improves parasite morphology, significantly increases parasite recovery, and is compatible with immunoassays.
