Total Laboratory Automation (TLA) and Integration
The 2026 laboratory is defined by the seamless integration of clinical chemistry and immunoassay platforms.
Unified Platforms: Systems like the Roche cobas c 703 and the Siemens Atellica CI allow labs to perform routine chemistry and specialized immunoassays on a single, high-speed track.
Efficiency Gains: Integrated TLA systems have demonstrated the ability to reduce sample processing time by up to 30%, a critical metric for labs facing 2026's chronic shortage of skilled technicians.
Modular Scalability: Modern analyzers are built with a "plug-and-play" modularity, allowing hospitals to add high-throughput modules as their testing volume grows without replacing the entire system.
