Clinical Laboratory Automation Solutions Help Eliminate Manual Processes

By LabMedica International staff writers
Posted on 19 Oct 2009
Three new clinical laboratory automation solutions help eliminate manual processes performed by laboratory personnel.

The manual production of diagnostic test results requires time and labor. More...
Automating certain steps in this process can improve efficiency and quality of operations, thus reducing the time it takes to produce the test results. The three automation systems were introduced by Siemens Healthcare Diagnostics (Deerfield, IL, USA).

The Advia Centaur XP immunoassay system can connect to the VersaCell system, an automation system offering advanced sample management and sorting capabilities. This maximizes the number of tests run on one workcell and improves the efficiency of operations.

When there are high test volumes, the VersaCell system can be used to connect Advia Centaur XP systems to Immulite immunoassay systems to access a wide range of routine and specialty immunoassays. For mid-to-high levels of test volumes, an Advia Centaur XP system can connect to an Advia 1800 chemistry system to gain access to a broader menu of immunochemistry and chemistry tests.

A decapper module was introduced to pair with the Advia LabCell and the Advia WorkCell automation systems. The removal of test tube caps reduces manual labor connected with processing patient samples by automating.

Clearance for the connection of the Advia Centaur XP system to the StreamLab analytical workcell was given by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA; Silver Spring, MD, USA). The combination of the high-speed immunoassay system and a scalable, open-architecture automation system increases laboratories' efficiencies.
