Global Lab Automation Clinical Diagnostics Market

1. Pre-analytical phase which comprises of patient identification, test request registration and billing, sample collection, labeling and sample processing.

2. Analytical phasecomprises of properly calibrating the instruments and analysis of samples.

3. Post-analytical phase which includes all the processes that follow the testing of the samples like the validation of test results, transcription of results into the records, typing the results, printing, and dispatch of the results. Also, the data so generated needs to be stored. The samples also need to be stored for a specified period of time.

All these phases can have some activities automated.Lab automation in clinical diagnostics market can simplify operations and increase the reproducibility. Moreover, the hard work and time required for manual labor can be reduced or eliminated.

Market Dynamics

The rapidly growing demand for diagnostic testing along with shrinking labor force of laboratory professionals is one of the prime drivers for automation in clinical diagnostics market. Moreover, rising number of diagnosis, number of suppliers in the diagnostic market, need for consistency in quality and a high cost of error also act as growth drivers.

Lack of planning for technology development, low priority for lab automation among small and medium-sized laboratoriesand high initial setup cost put constraints on the market.
