Sakura® Finetek undertook a short study into the workflow changes that a pathology laboratory underwent, to examine the differences between working both with and without
SMART Automation.
The Institute of Pathology at Vivantes Klinikum Neukölln was chosen for this study as it is the main location to the Vivantes Hospital Group. It handles their most complex cases and also serves the immunohistochemistry (IHC) and molecular pathology processes. The pathology department invested in high throughput instrumentation to facilitate the workload from the hospital groups. The four satellite
laboratories feed samples to the main location for further processing.
