Lab Automation (TTA and TLA)
Laboratory automation is a multi-disciplinary strategy to research, develop, optimize and capitalize on technologies in the laboratory that enable new and improved processes. There are two types of Lab automation: Task Targeted Automation (TTA) and Total laboratory automation (TLA). With TTA, a module will run specific process tasks, such as decapping and sorting. However, the samples then need to be transported by hand to the various analyzers, then taken back for post-analytics and last moved into refrigerated rooms. As you can easily imagine, all these steps are time-consuming and require the involvement of people. Also, they affect traceability, because with TTA samples will sometimes be left temporarily idle. With TLA solutions, all that changes: you simply load the samples in the form you require (in bulk or racks), and the TLA solution sees to the rest. The samples are prepared selectively; if necessary, they are decapped and centrifuged, and then sent on to the relevant analyzers, before being sealed, stored and disposed as required. This system saves on redundant, low-value activities, while also improving traceability - which means that you can be sure where every single sample has been and what has happened to it on the way. Naturally, improved quality and evolved utilization of resources have a direct, positive impact on patient safety and enterprise outcomes.
