Automated analyses
Advia LabCell Modular Automation Systems integrate clinical chemistry, immunodiagnostics, haematology, urinalysis, and other hospital and laboratory areas.
The menus provide assays across virtually every area of disease management, and are supported by Bayer Diagnostics services, the manufacturer reports.
Advia LabCell is an open automation system that provides a comprehensive menu of automation and pre-analytical components as well as interfaces for recognized, high-volume analytical systems – Advia Centaur Immunoassay Systems, Advia Chemistry Systems, Advia Haematology Systems, Clinitek Atlas Automated Urine Chemistry Analyser, and Diagnostica Stago Star Coagulation Analyser – which can be added on for a customised automation solution that meets laboratories’ needs, Bayer adds. ‘Advia LabCell handles each sample as an individual, recognising precisely where that sample needs to go, then routing it for optimal efficiency.’ In addition, the system reduces the number of steps needed to sort, process, and archive samples, shortening the time to result. ‘Potential error is reduced by the minimised physical handling of samples prior to, in between, and following testing.’
The system connects seamlessly with existing IT systems, using plug-and-play to add or change instruments and components.
