Power Express Laboratory Automation System

The Power Express Laboratory Automation System is a total laboratory automation solution to maximize uptime, minimize errors and optimize workflow. Power Express provides the ultimate in connectivity – allowing you to connect all core disciplines into a single line – for faster TAT and quality results.

Connectivity, Flexibility & High-throughput Capacity

The Power Express Laboratory Automation System integrates a wide variety of analyzers and transformative clinical IT solutions with open connectivity, flexibility and high-throughput capacity. Consolidate your pre-analytical, analytical and post-analytical functions into one efficient workflow to empower your health network so you can expedite patient care.

Maximize uptime, minimize errors and optimize workflow:

Prioritization sample management attained through dynamic connection and efficient track design
Optimized sample routing of both priority and routine samples to achieve predictable TAT
Efficient sample carrier management to ensure consistent flow

A flexible solution with built-in redundancy to maximize uptime:

Fully automated to meet the growing demand of your lab
Modular to connect with all core discipline lines as well as select third-party analyzers
Scalable to work today and into the future
