Differences and synergies between clinical and industrial lab automation
As we have explained in previous articles, each lab automation project requires a specific focus in which, first of all, having analysed the needs and workflows, it is important to determine the added value that automation will bring to a particular project....
What does ChatGPT think about the automation of industrial QC microbiology laboratories?
Founded in 2015 by Sam Altman, ChatGPT is a tool that is beginning to be used all over the world. The limitations of this type of tool are well known, but here at Sener Diagnostics we wanted to perform a test. We asked ChatGPT about the advantages of automating an...
After-sales in services for microbiology laboratories: a key factor for success
Clinical microbiology laboratories are extremely complex in terms of the variety of samples, protocols and processes involved. As a result of this variety, the workflows for providing patients with rapid and reliable diagnoses are also complex. Even...
A round-up of our laboratory automation blog in 2022
Our laboratory automation blog has now completed its second year. The sole purpose of this section is to publish relevant information about our day-to-day activities and the sector in which we work to share with our clients, partners and professional colleagues. As we...
Molecular techniques in clinical microbiology through automation
In today's article, we will talk about how future automation must take account of diagnostic molecular techniques and how these must coexist with traditional workflows. As we mentioned in one of our recent articles, the automation of clinical microbiology...
Happy International Microorganism Day!
Microbiology is the science which studies microorganisms, bacteria, fungi, protists and parasites, and other agents such as viruses, viroids and prions. It is divided into branches for the study of different microbial agents that cause infectious diseases:...
Speeding up diagnosis through automation
In an increasingly demanding and fast-moving global context, clinical microbiology labs must increase their capacity to speed up diagnosis. Furthermore, they need to prepare themselves for the demanding challenges to come: Managing larger and larger volumes.Increasing...
Automation: the role of the laboratory professional
In earlier articles, we outlined the importance of the systems engineer as the person responsible for the conceptualisation of new instruments for laboratory automation. We argued that systems engineers play a key role in identifying the added value that each...
Conceptualization of automated solutions for Microbiology laboratories
You may not be very familiar with the concept of a systems engineer. But can you imagine the launch of a satellite without someone having been responsible for ensuring all the systems work together? Or the opening of a new railway without confirmation that the system...
A round-up of our laboratory automation blog in 2021
