Laboratory automation for Sykehuset Østfold HF
SYKEHUSINNKJØP HF needs an automation system with connected analysis instruments, middleware, conveyor belt, and pre-analytical functions for Sykehuset Østfold HF, as well as free-standing instruments for locations in Askim, Fredrikstad, Moss, Sarpsborg, and Halden. The system should maintain current analyses, accommodate a 4% annual increase from 2025 analysis volume, and cover clinical chemistry, immune chemistry, haematology, coagulation, infection serology, HbA1c, allergy, and auto-immunity. It must be flexible to include new instruments, modules, and tests, and facilitate sample receipt and distribution for other parts of the Centre for Laboratory Medicine. The aim is to support Hospital Østfold's activity and development needs for the next 10 years, with a focus on automating and connecting all possible laboratory processes.
