At ADLM 2024, Inpeco SA (Novazzano, Switzerland) is introducing FlexLab X, its new total lab automation system, to the global laboratory medicine community.

Set to redefine automation excellence, FlexLab X offers enhanced flexibility, a best-in-class user experience, and excellent performance. Open and flexible by design, FlexLab X allows labs to freely combine analyzers from different vendors, for optimal patient outcomes. Its standardized track components enable space-saving layouts tailored to a lab’s needs that scale easily in three dimensions, to support future growth. Offering sleek graphical user interfaces (GUI) and powerful Data Analytics functionalities, FlexLab X is intuitively easy to use and monitor. This simplifies daily work and helps eliminate errors, while KPI dashboards provide actionable insights to streamline workflows.

Thanks to its outstanding performance, FlexLab X assures rapid and consistent turnaround times (TAT) at all sample volume levels, and it supports premium-quality results that are fully traceable. Moreover, FlexLab X is designed to maximize uptime and reduce running costs, contributing to an attractive return on investment (ROI). Clinical laboratories benefit from safe and efficient workflows that get the daily routine done. Premium-quality results support improved patient outcomes, and the attractive return delivered by a FlexLab X investment helps labs to better cope with increasing budget pressures.
