Radiometer is working with Technicon on a robotic solution to save time in the lab
Copenhagen, Denmark – Radiometer Medical ApS is working with Technicon A/S on a robotic solution – a cobot – to reduce manual work in the blood collection process for customers of the Radiometer ABL800 FLEX blood gas analyzer in Scandinavia. A cobot is a collaborative robot intended for human-robot interaction. The compact cobot UR 3e holds the test tube to the ABL800 FLEX blood gas analyzer for data registration and sample testing.

In the blood gas test workflow, the UR 3e Cobot does:
- nimmt ein Reagenzglas aus einem Gestell
- registriert die Probe
- entfernt die Kappe
- Hält das Reagenzglas am ABL800 FLEX-Analysegerät zum Absaugen und
- (Sobald der Test abgeschlossen ist), stellt er das Reagenzglas wieder auf das Gestell und setzt den Deckel wieder auf.
By automating this process, lab technicians can focus on tasks other than holding the test tube to the analyzer and waiting for the test to complete.
“Empowering caregivers is one of our goals at Radiometer,” says Henrik Schimmell, CEO and President of Radiometer. "One way we can achieve this is by offering our customers solutions to improve workflows and automate processes. Therefore, we are very excited to work with Technicon on this robotic solution that aims to meet our customers' needs and enable them to spend less time on manual work while our analyzers continue to test blood samples." —Henrik Schimmell, President and CEO, Radiometer Medical ApS
Casper Hansen, CEO of Technicon, added: “The collaboration between Radiometer and Technicon highlights the potential of advanced and user-friendly robotic technology – not least in terms of relieving groups of employees from repetitive tasks and thereby freeing up resources for other value-adding tasks.” .
The first solution is currently being used at Glostrup Hospital in Denmark.
