The technology has been to extend its influence to the different sectors. In health, for example, though less by the media and the products that have been developed in conjunction with the electronics and the computer have found out, outlook for the future and helped to erect a new segment in the market.
in This niche, which sooner than later will no longer be such, Siemens has played a pivotal role through the development of innovative solutions. The most recent of these was presented this Wednesday in London.
With a name that surfaced among nearly 600 other proposals, Atellica does not look like any of our technologies on a daily basis. It is as portable as a stove and as small as a boat fishing. However, within this “monster”, Siemens has incorporated a system for automated analysis (immunoassays and chemical) mass that promises to increase the productivity in the laboratory in the medical tests, clinical samples.
For this, the German company has integrated a magnetic system of transportation, two-way samples that allows for a speed “10 times higher than the carriers more conventional”, but without a noise from it, and ten times higher for the carriers more conventional. In fact, as was shown in the video, this system is able to operate with a higher pace at the same time it eliminates the noise normally associated with this process.
The Atellica can be loaded with more than 400 test tubes at the same time and to complete the analysis for them all in the space of an hour. During this time, the entire process is monitored by a set of cameras that detects any error in the course of the analysis and transmits it in real time to mobile equipment through a dedicated software. Each sample can be controlled in a particular way and to follow one of the more than 300 configurations of analysis and scheduling of notifications that the system allows. In case of an emergency, the machine allows you to enter the sample in the chain of analysis without interrupting its operation, putting it automatically in the first available position in line.
This is also a modular solution. Although the standard version is composed of three components – sample management, chemical analysis and immunoassay – the logic of coupling allows to build a station with a maximum of 10 modules and a direct link to a supply chain that is automated which allows uploads of samples autonomously. All this is controllable remotely.
The Atellica is a product in development for several years, and as was emphasized during the presentation counted with the contribution of the permanent of the various clients of Siemens who have been involved in all stages of the process.
For the future, more modules are being promised. Before that, the Antellica should be launched on the market during the second half of 2017.
