CUBE S, the Heart of the Laboratory Without TLA
The laboratory of the Hospital Clínic de Barcelona is known for providing an excellent service thanks to the automation of its processes and the traceability of the samples processed in it.
Twenty years ago, it was a pioneer in integrating full automation into its Core laboratory through Bayer Diagnostics. This first automated chain (TLA) was in use for more than ten years, until it was decided to switch to another TLA system. However, the transition from one system to the other (from Labcell to Aptio) was easier, as the hospital had space to locate the laboratory temporarily.
