Aptio® Automation provides one-touch workflow efficiency in open, single-, and multidiscipline laboratories.
Aptio Automation provides unparalleled analyzer connectivity, flexible pre- and post-analytical sample processing options, and novel approaches to increasing and maintaining workflow efficiency without compromising operational reliability.
Features and benefits
Unrivaled analyzer connectivity
Siemens Healthineers acknowledges that the instruments may come from a variety of manufacturers and that they will evolve. The company works hard to keep strong leadership in this critical area.
In single- or multidiscipline TLA, users can connect an unsurpassed number and variety of analyzers, including molecular and urinalysis, and automation modules in highly flexible track configurations.
Comprehensive pre- and post-analytics support highly customized, end-to-end testing workflows
Users can connect as many automation modules and single- or multi-discipline analyzers as required in highly flexible track configurations. It may be simple mechanization of tasks, such as centrifugation and decapping, or lab-specific workflows, like sample mixing or proportional aliquoting.
Innovative approaches to drive workflow efficiency without sacrificing reliability
It is not easy to compare TLA solutions. Individual component throughput comparisons do not mirror interdependent performance in response to the test mix and hourly peaks. They may overlook IT’s potential to streamline workflows and avoid redundant or unnecessary testing.
As part of the initial consultations, Siemens Healthineers calculates accurate performance projections for your unique configuration. Furthermore, the company is committed to delivering new engineering, IT, and service innovations that drive operational efficiency, such as on-track automated workflows for:
- Sample mixing to promote workflows, such as whole-blood HbA1c testing on high-throughput Atellica CH Analyzers
- Sample volume, level, and integrity checks for hemolysis, icterus, and lipemia for early avaluation before testing
- Integrated testing of small-volume tubes to avoid manual handling, allowing one-touch pediatric testing
- Three-minute centrifugation using select BD BARRICOR plasma blood collection tubes to enhance turnaround times
Continuous engineering
A broad and growing set of pre- and post-analytical modules enables highly customized, end-to-end testing workflows.
Single-tube transport
Prioritized STAT and routine testing are combined with effective tube transport on a dependable platform that has led TLA innovation for 20+ years.
Total lab automation is a journey
Siemens Healthineers has accomplished more than 2300 TLA projects globally and has the process, experience, and people to deliver the results required.
Design must be realistic but visionary
Experienced workflow consultants will design and fine-tune the solution using patented, data-driven tools to maintain optimized workflows in a constantly evolving testing environment.
