Next-Generation Total Lab Automation Solution Boosts Performance and Productivity
Posted on 20 May 2025
A new total lab automation system premiering in Europe is expected to set new benchmarks in flexibility, user experience, and performance.
FlexLab X, the next-generation automation system from Inpeco (Novazzano, Switzerland), has made its European debut after being unveiled at the 2025 EuroMedLab held in Brussels, Belgium. Designed to meet the needs of laboratories, FlexLab X aims to streamline workflows to the maximum – for enhanced clinical, operational, and financial outcomes. FlexLab X is a uniquely open automation system allowing labs to freely combine the analyzers of their choice from various vendors – for premium-quality results. With 12 specialties and 30 analyzers connected to date, labs can freely combine the best-of-breed analyzers from various vendors, for optimal patient outcomes. Currently, connections are available for clinical chemistry, immunoassay, hematology, ESR and HbA1c, urinalysis, molecular biology, allergy, plasma proteins, coagulation, blood screening, and FOB. The number of new analyzer connections supporting a wide range of clinical specialties is steadily growing to keep labs in touch with the future. Additionally, FlexLab X is flexible and scalable by design, thanks to standardized components that facilitate space-saving layouts tailored to specific needs and simplify future upgrades.
Designed to increase laboratory efficiency, enhance quality, and reduce cost, FlexLab X modules deliver maximum performance, while the DMX software (Data Management FlexLab X) guarantees intelligent tube routing with full sample traceability and easy performance monitoring using KPI dashboards. Harnessing the power of continuous automation monitoring, using KPI dashboards and customizable reports, DMX software helps labs optimize their clinical, operational, and financial performance. Combined, they ensure rapid and consistent turnaround times at all volume levels, as well as a best-in-class user experience. FlexLab X offers a wide range of high performing pre- and post-analytical modules to build the automation dream – be it on one single floor, or connecting several floors. They are easy to use, quiet and reliable, and feature compact dimensions to make the best use of precious lab space.
