SIMPLIFYING WORKFLOWS TO EMPOWER DIAGNOSTICS AT SCALE.

Diagnostics labs frequently face the challenge of processing growing volumes of samples while managing shortages of skilled personnel and complying with regulatory standards. Tecan’s advanced automation tools help labs overcome these hurdles and scale up operations by streamlining workflows, reducing manual intervention and ensuring compliance with the highest regulatory standards and quality.

The adoption of ready-to-use workflow suites simplifies setup, reducing the need for skilled personnel and enabling faster deployment. Veya’s connectivity, including the OneView™ display, enhances performance by providing real-time status updates on monitored parameters. Together with remote support, this empowers operators with the insights needed to make informed decisions, such as whether to intervene and what actions to take, minimizing downtime and delays during peak periods.

Several real-world success stories show how Tecan’s integrated solutions – from hardware to consumables to reagents – work together to improve workflows and outcomes.

Hardware and digital integration

In the field of liquid biopsy, Tecan’s Phase Separator, a module on the Fluent® workstation, has revolutionized plasma separation workflows for a large US reference lab. 

This integration of hardware and digital technology enabled the lab to process over 200,000 blood tubes per year, more than doubling throughput while significantly reducing error rates close to zero while maintaining precision and reliability.

Applications in oncology, neurology and prenatal testing have particularly benefited from this innovation, helping labs handle increasing sample demands with ease.

Hardware and functional consumables – solutions that go beyond the system

At SYNLAB’s toxicology lab, Tecan’s Resolvex® technology, in combination with Tecan’s functional consumables, delivered a solution that helped SYNLAB reach new heights of productivity. 

By automating drug extraction workflows, this integrated approach not only saved time but also significantly increased throughput, reducing processing time for a 96-well plate from over four hours to just 25–35 minutes, and setup time to around one hour—about a quarter of the time required for manual workflows. This freed up several hours of staff time for higher-value tasks, significantly enhancing the lab’s overall efficiency.

Reagents for targeted solutions

At Düzen Laboratory, Tecan’s Steroid Panel LC-MS kit offered a complete solution, simplifying complex hormone testing. By combining advanced hardware with specialized reagents, the lab achieved greater accuracy and consistency across large sample batches, delivering reliable results even for challenging applications.

Collaborative platforms

The Sysmex PS-10 Platform, developed in collaboration with Tecan automated sample preparation for flow cytometry. This integration drastically reduced preparation times and freed up staff to focus on higher-value tasks, demonstrating how tailored hardware and workflows can elevate lab productivity.

These solutions highlight Tecan’s role as a trusted partner in diagnostics, empowering labs to meet increasing demand without overextending resources. By integrating innovative tools, software, consumables and reagents, Tecan supports institutions in scaling operations, improving efficiency and consistently delivering reliable results.
