Together, they have partnered with the aim to increase support to customers and better safeguard the supply chain even more by bringing together laboratory automation and quality-assuring processes.
With the expertise of Lab Services – the number one independent integrator and developer of innovative systems to automate standardized processes in laboratories – a flexible, high speed and accurate platform was developed for AusDiagnostics.
By automating the manual sealing process, a higher throughput was created – and this has resulted in a much faster supply of plates to customers.
“The resulting growth in manufacturing capacity ensures that AusDiagnostics, a leader in designing, manufacturing, and marketing multiplexing molecular diagnostic assays and reagents, can deliver increased service, quality and expertise to customers,” says Stefan Poppelaars, Project Manager at Lab Services. “Through a great threefold cooperation, we were able to successfully install and test the automation platform at the AusDiagnostics site in Australia,” he says. “An extra thank you to our distributor BioTools – without them this important collaboration would not have been realised.”
AusDiagnostics Chief Operating Officer, says the solution has boosted productivity dramatically. “Most importantly, the significant decrease in manual handling enables our manufacturing scientists to focus on other technical tasks or projects,” she says. “We constantly strive to innovate and improve processes and this new level of automation has produced significant time savings – what previously required up to a month to complete can now be achieved in closer to one week. The PlateButler from Lab Services has given us an effective and scalable solution to support our sustained company growth.”
