Outcome
The early diagnostics method development system is the pioneering solution providing automated access to life-saving molecular diagnostic data, enhancing medical practitioners' ability to protect and improve their patients' quality of life.
With 100K diagnostics platforms installed, the largest worldwide, 86% fewer manual touch points reduce the potential for human error and protect against cross-contamination, reliably delivering up to 1,600 samples on a single system per 8-hour shift.

Challenge
Time consuming method development process.
Each research step is done manually with a very low degree of automatisation and standardisation.
The absence of a simplified collaboration model, a digital framework to enable guided, step-wise, streamlined analysis method development on the medical instruments.
Each step had to be standardised and allow, where possible, for automatised experimental planning, execution, and analysis were needed for flexibility of individual results.
Data is stored in folder/file based manner. Method development depends on knowledge of an individual user. Gained knowledge had to be saved in a single source database for the individual analyte and for subsequent analytes, to ensure continuous learning.
Approach
Solution
Reliable model delivering highly accurate results.
Moved from a manual, not standardized individual workflow to a guided, automated workflow and where the method development steps are stored in a digital landscape and can be reviewed in an easy way. Faster development, random access, and tailored to an existing portfolio.
Definition of the whole development workflow as a frame is ready. Implementation of the auto-tuning step is completed. Applied auto-tuning to the prototype instruments. Increased velocity for the entire method development process.
