Roche launches a new addition to the cobas connection modules
Roche announced that it has a new addition to the cobas connection
modules (CCM), the CCM Vertical, allowing transportation of samples on overhead
conveyors.* This solution allows for CCM conveyors to cross walkways,
connecting different work areas and keeps (emergency) exits accessible. Samples
can also be transported up or down to different levels.
Given
the ever-changing needs of the healthcare system, the demand for automation
continues to surge, driven by shortages in skilled personnel, escalating
throughput demands and the need for faster results and reduced errors. In
addition space limitations in laboratories present a significant hurdle and it
can be a challenge to increase the testing capacity.
"Given
the dynamic requirements of the healthcare system, laboratories and clinicians
are expected to optimise laboratory operations and efficiencies while improving
patient care," said Ann
Costello, Head of Roche Diagnostics Solutions at Roche
Diagnostics. "We are excited about CCM Vertical, it simplifies and
streamlines testing for laboratories of all sizes, throughputs and disciplines,
while supporting clinical decision-making to improve patient care."
CCM Vertical addresses
these difficulties, it is a modular and flexible vertical transportation
solution which consists of elevator units, overhead conveyors and overhead turn
units. It seamlessly integrates with an existing CCM solution without
compromising quality, reliability and performance, in the same way as
the CCM horizontal track. CCM Vertical offers multidisciplinary
connectivity through floors and ceilings, enabling floor to floor
transportation. The space constraints in laboratories where previously there
was not even room for a suitable solution, will now be effectively addressed
with the multidisciplinary connectivity across many floors and rooms.
