Accelerating automation, Abbott introduces GLP systems Track for labs in India

New Delhi: Global healthcare leader Abbott announced the launch of its innovative automation solutions, GLP systems Track, to support laboratories’ high-volume needs. India is now the world’s most populous nation, and the population is experiencing rising chronic disease burden.

As a result, the Indian diagnostic sector is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate of 11% to 12% between 2021 and 2026. Abbott’s proven cutting-edge technology offers more flexibility, helping laboratories optimize performance and efficiency to meet this growing demand.

Over the last several years, the need for diagnostic laboratories has increased. Today, up to 70% of medical decisions depend on lab test results. Abbott’s GLP systems Track can help increase accessibility and quality of care by automating lab operations. This automation solution has been installed in Ahmedabad, Bengaluru, Chennai and Srinagar.

 “Today, the healthcare scenario is constantly changing. To remain efficient and competitive, laboratories must elevate their capabilities to effectively manage changing conditions. Our total solution approach addresses every facet of the complex healthcare equation — with automation at its heart,” said Jamshyd Patravala, General Manager & Country Head – Diagnostics, Abbott India. “This can help increase testing capabilities, thereby addressing the country’s pressing health challenges and creating more sustainable operations.”

With this launch, Abbott aims to strike a balance between quality of care and efficient use of resources. Across different care settings, depending on laboratory size and patient pool, this automation solution can handle bulk test tubes per day. GLP systems track removes at least 80% of manual steps, minimizing manual errors. The automation solution also improves lab workers’ safety by minimizing contact with patients’ blood samples and preventing exposure to biomedical waste.

“Abbott’s GLP systems Track offers us a reliable solution to support efficient workflows. It comes with several benefits, including an agile track design to support wide range of laboratory layouts and giving flexibility to modify in case of changing testing demand. Its simple user interface and smart software architecture support operational efficiency. This helps improve workflow and productivity, helping to ensure physicians receive critical results at the right time to guide clinical decision-making and better patient care,” said Dr Sandip Shah Joint Managing Director of Neuberg Group.

Energy efficient technology, such scalable automation solutions, improve end-to-end lab efficiency by streamlining workflow and simplifying sample management. As a result, it improves the quality of service and contributes to a sustainable future while maintaining a small footprint.
