Pioneering automation solutions for CRC screening
As a company committed to advancing early cancer detection and saving lives, this launch delivers a state-of-the-art automation solution for colorectal cancer, the second leading cause of cancer-related deaths globally. Early detection can improve survival rates to 90%, making efficient screening essential. The innovative solution combines FOB Gold® technology, with the SENTiFIT® 800 analyser (550 tests/hour) and Inpeco’s new FlexLab™ X Lab Automation system, resulting in a modular design that adapts to lab-specific requirements in terms of space, throughput and budget.
The system minimises hands-on time, reduces errors and maximises walk-away time through its input and storage modules, which streamline sample handling. Additionally, a mobile app enables laboratory staff to monitor and manage operations efficiently from a tablet, freeing up time for critical tasks. This streamlined and fully automated system is tailored to centralised CRC screening programs and high-volume laboratories, enhancing operational efficiency and convenience.
Carlos Martínez Pons, Head of Sysmex Life Science EMEA: "Following the success of CRC screening programmes worldwide, they are entering into a new phase of geographical expansion and widening of the target population. More people will progressively benefit from these screening programmes, but their complexity and sample volume will increase, getting more difficult to manage. As a response to these new challenges, we are proud to launch our fully automated solution for colorectal cancer screening. It is a groundbreaking addition to the FIT DXTM Series portfolio, which now allows us to provide a tailored solution for every screening programme, even the most ambitious ones. This innovation underscores Sysmex’s commitment to advancing early detection, improving CRC survival, and empowering laboratories to deliver better outcomes."
