ANALYTICAL AND LABORATORY EQUIPMENT 11
Space-saving sample automation solution
Roche’s new cobas p 312 fully-automated pre-analytical system is specifi cally designed for the improved workfl ow of small to mid-sized laboratories being faced with limited space preconditions. The computer controlled stand-alone solution with
full online connectivity aids laboratory management to optimize laboratory’s workfl ow effi ciency and hence cost and quality market position on no more than a square meter footprint. Intelligent specimen handling and routing
solutions for lab automation Pre-analytics describe the process of effi cient and seamless specimen preparation, routing and handling in the processes of automated laboratory systems. It helps to increase effi ciency, minimise manual handling and off ers accurate sample tracking throughout the whole process. For improved control, safety and service to clinicians, the cobas p 312 provides decapping, sorting and archiving of all common types of sample tubes within the laboratory´s serum work area (SWA), haematology, coagulation, and urinalysis.

Boosting effi ciency in laboratory automation
NoemaLife has launched HALIA, new middleware for clinical chemistry, microbiology and molecular biology labs. Utilising a rule-based engine to deliver
all-round control over laboratory workfl ow and sample processing, HALIA’s powerful functionality signifi cantly improves laboratory effi ciency, compliance and quality control. The new HALIA middleware interface provides
a complete web-based lab computerisation system, allowing central management and connection of all analysers through a single interface on any workstation. HALIA’s user-confi gurable rule-based engine
enables autoverifi cation, sample routing and real- time clinical data capture and management for greater quality control. By supporting open automation systems and
addressing issues such as regulatory compliance, workforce reductions and enhanced quality control, HALIA eff ectively meets the challenges facing lab managers.
Responding to the increase in Point of Care
Testing, HALIA off ers a POCT Data Manager function. This gives lab managers a real-time overview of all the data relating to multiple blood gas analysers or other devices, including instrument maintenance schedules and QC alerts.
HALIA also provides detailed real-time data on
total turnaround time (TAT) – a key performance indicator in large laboratories striving to increase throughput. Addressing the situation where works stops if a LIS/LIMS system goes down, HALIA’s LIS/LIMS backup module allows manual input of sample information so that analysis can continue. Manual samples are then matched to LIS/LIMS data once the connection is restored. Andrea Chiapponi, Managing Director of
NoemaLife SpA, commented: “In addition to laboratories looking for open middleware which is vendor independent, HALIA will be of interest to IVD device vendors wanting to create turnkey solutions which include maximum LIS/LIMS connectivity. HALIA’s vendor-independence also enables merging of laboratories and even hospitals with diff erent LIS/ LIMS solutions into a seamless wide area network. For example, HALIA can manage re-tests on diff erent analysers deployed in separate labs and co-ordinate specimen storage information relating to multiple locations.”
HALIA takes middleware to new levels by
providing complete fl exibility with simplifi ed integration for all healthcare situations.

Removing labels from reusable labware has never been easier with the new CILS-9100R Computer Printable Label Range, providing high-strength bonding to all plastic/glassware, yet can be cleanly peeled off at any time, leaving no adhesive residue. Variable data (barcodes, serial numbers etc)
can be printed ‘in minutes’ straight from a standard Laser or Thermal Transfer Printer, eliminating the risk of smudged/illegible handwritten data during sterilisation/decontaminating cycles, extreme temperatures (-196°C to 388°C), chemical exposure, etc. Manufactured to any size, shape and colour-coded
design, CILS-9100R labels provide laboratories with the ultimate temporary labelling solution.

professionals reduce error prone manual routine processes and time consuming intervention of sample preparation while the potential of bio hazardous exposition decreases considerably. The ergonomic workspace design allows a
customized sample rack layout and management. This innovation in sample preparation and sorting off ers maximum effi ciency at minimal space requirements for highest fl exibility at a lab´s workspace and a maximum throughput of up to 450 samples per hour. Full online connectivity to the laboratory
information system (LIS) allows laboratory managers to seamlessly integrate the cobas p 312 into the laboratory’s IT infrastructure. Its easy IT connectivity to the cobas pre- and post-analytical systems family allows laboratories to fl exibly integrate into a Total Laboratory Automation (TLA), including the full IT connectivity to Roche’s MODULAR PRE-ANALYTICS EVO, when needed.
