Compact footprint.
Compact strength.
Since pioneering drugs-of-abuse testing (DAT) in 1972, Siemens has
helped nurture and expand the industry by striving to create the most
cutting-edge and sophisticated technologies possible. It’s a pursuit
that continues to this day—a culmination of pairing our commitment
to innovation with more than forty years of experience. We work
to transform and deliver innovative reagents and drug-testing
technologies for an industry whose fast-paced environment continues
to evolve and move towards workspace consolidation and streamlined
testing and processes.

Powered by EMIT® technology, the Viva-ProE™ System utilizes advanced

instrumentation and intuitive integrated software to help mid-volume
drug-testing laboratories optimize efficiencies, workflows, and
workspaces. With onboard waste and water storage, a touchscreen-
driven operating system, and full sample-testing capacity, the Viva-ProE
System has been designed to perform at the highest levels of analysis—
all within a small, bench-top footprint.
