Challenge

Any clinical laboratory striving to maintain stringent quality control must ensure an accurate and reliable test process, in order to reach the goal of cured diseases. In this laboratory the clinical staff spent quite a lot of time in registering data to manual systems and keeping track of samples.

When starting out the project, the customer listed their primary objectives as

  1. Enhancing sample traceability and chain of custody
  2. Minimizing errors and reducing the risk of sample mix-ups and lost samples
  3. Improving regulatory compliance and accreditation
  4. Streamlining quality control processes
  5. Increasing operational efficiency and improving turnaround times

Outcome

Automating the capture of critical data—including item-level timestamps for each stage—has significantly strengthened the quality control system. Eliminating manual sample handling, such as scanning and updating the Laboratory Information System, saves up to 26.5 hours of work each week. In addition, lost samples have been reduced to zero, effectively removing the need for quality investigations. This directly benefits the bottom line and frees laboratory staff to focus on higher-value tasks.

Solution

In the new system every sample to be processed has an RFID tag attached, which gives it a unique digital identity. In the laboratory RFID gates and tabletop readers are installed at the key workflow checkpoints; sampling, storage, analysis, and disposal.

The readers register the unique identifier as samples pass through each stage. No manual scanning is required. At each stage the product’s status is updated in the Laboratory Information System (LIMS), which receives the data from the RFID system. As a result the laboratory has on-demand access to accurate sampling data.
