Laboratory & Diagnostics

Samples that can always be located, results that arrive as data, and turnaround time you can actually measure.

A laboratory's two failure modes are a lost sample and a mistyped result. Barcode and RFID labelling fixes the first; direct analyzer integration fixes the second. Together they turn turnaround time from an impression into a number you can manage, for human and veterinary laboratories alike.

The problem today

What it looks like before

If two or three of these describe your operation, this solution is worth a conversation. If none of them do, it probably is not.

What we hear

  • Results are read from an analyzer printout and typed into the report, which is slow and error-prone.

  • A sample that goes missing between collection and the bench cannot be traced, so the patient is recalled.

  • Turnaround time is not measured, so nobody knows which test or shift is holding up reports.

  • Reference ranges and report formats live in a Word template that quietly goes out of date.

How it works

Step by step, on site

Not an architecture diagram — the actual sequence of what happens to a physical thing.

  1. 1

    Label at collection

    A barcode or RFID label is printed at the point of collection and carries the sample identity from that moment on.

  2. 2

    Track every stage

    Collected, received, on the bench, resulted, verified, dispatched — each stage timestamped by a scan or a read.

  3. 3

    Connect the analyzers

    Two-way ASTM or HL7 interfaces push the worklist to the instrument and pull results back against the right sample.

  4. 4

    Verify and sign

    Delta checks and critical limits flag results for attention, and two-level verification records who released the report.

  5. 5

    Deliver automatically

    Reports go out on WhatsApp, email and a download link the moment they are verified, with a doctor portal for referrers.

What changes

Results and benefits

Figures come from real deployments. They depend on site conditions, which is why we commit to numbers for your site only after a trial.

  • Transcription errors are removed rather than reduced.
  • A sample can be located at its last recorded stage instead of being written off.
  • Turnaround time becomes a managed number with an owner.
  • Reports reach patients and referring doctors without staff sending them one by one.

Example deployment

What one site looked like

Client names are withheld until we have written permission to publish them.

Diagnostic chain, 1 main lab and 9 collection centres

Barcode labelling at every collection centre, six analyzers connected two-way at the main lab and automatic WhatsApp report delivery. Manual result entry was eliminated for the connected instruments, and average turnaround time became visible per test for the first time, which drove a rota change on the evening shift.

Implementation & support

How the project actually runs

Including the parts that take the longest and the parts you have to own rather than us.

  1. 1

    Instrument audit

    Every analyzer make, model and interface confirmed before any commitment, because that list decides the integration effort.

  2. 2

    Master data

    Test master, methods, units, reference ranges by age and sex, profiles and reflex rules configured with your pathologist.

  3. 3

    Labelling

    Printers at each collection point, label stock chosen for refrigerated and frozen storage.

  4. 4

    Analyzer connection

    Interfaces built and validated instrument by instrument, with a parallel manual run until results match exactly.

  5. 5

    Report templates

    Report layouts, letterhead, signatures and delivery channels set up and signed off before go-live.

Questions

Before you commit

Which analyzers can be connected?

Any instrument offering ASTM, HL7 or a serial output, which covers most machines in use. We confirm your exact list during discovery and build a driver per instrument.

Barcode or RFID for samples?

Barcode is the norm for tubes and is cheaper. RFID is used where a rack or a fridge needs to be counted as a batch without handling each tube.

Does it cover veterinary labs?

Yes, with owner and animal records, species-specific reference ranges and veterinary report layouts.
