Another recent development was the release of what the company calls lavender-top management, "which enables laboratories to realize virtually hands-free analysis of the
lavender-top tube, providing >90% of tests compatible with EDTA samples (i.e., erythrocyte sedimentation rate, or ESR, CBC differential, reticulocyte count, Hb A1c, and other esoteric tests) through sample re-routing and archiving, with as little human intervention as possible."
The laboratory also has an automated digital-imaging system to help improve efficiencies and achieve standardization with its smear-review process, This comprehensive automation solution achieves a higher level of efficiency, process standardization, and staff utilization analyzing >90% of tests from
lavender-top tubes and 100% of pre- and post-analytical sample handling.
