During the first week of February, ASTar instrument was on display in the booth of the AMICO Group at Medlab Middle East in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. With over 28,000 visitors and close to 900 exhibiting companies in 2024, it is the premier event for introducing new technologies for medical laboratories in Asia, Africa and the GCC region. Supported by colleagues from Q-linea, the AMICO team performed multiple demos to representatives from private and public hospitals, and ASTar was very well received.

As a continuation of the business development strategy in the Region, AMICO will host a Sepsis Management Day on February 19 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. The roll-out plan combines educating healthcare professionals about the benefits of rapid AST and its role in patient care with product evaluations at select hospitals.

“We are very pleased with the reception of ASTar at Medlab and impressed with AMICO’s professionalism in navigating the multi-jurisdictional region quickly and effectively which is already resulting in concrete customer conversations,” said Franco Pellegrini, VP Sales EMEA at Q-linea.

Sherif Harydi, Business Development Director at AMICO Group, said: ” We are very pleased by the reception ASTar System has received in the market so far. We look forward to working together with the Q-linea team to introduce ASTar in our region through events and product evaluations.”
