The partnership will allow clinical laboratories to integrate multiple Panther Systems into automated workflows designed to increase testing capacity and improve sample tracking.
Hologic and Inpeco SA have signed a co-marketing partnership in Europe to pair Inpeco’s FlexLab X automation solution with Hologic’s Panther System.
The partnership connects Hologic’s automated molecular diagnostics instruments directly to Inpeco’s open total laboratory automation track. The recently launched FlexLab X platform allows laboratories to connect multiple Panther Systems, creating high-throughput workflows intended to expand testing volumes, improve operational efficiency, and strengthen end-to-end sample traceability.
By linking molecular testing instruments into a fully tracked automation environment, the combined setup aims to help high-throughput clinical laboratories manage growing test volumes and optimize staff productivity.
“Through our co-marketing partnership with Inpeco, we are helping molecular laboratories take the next step in automation by connecting Hologic’s proven Panther System with Inpeco’s advanced automation technology,” says Frédérique Gallis, vice president, international sales and marketing at Hologic, in a release. “Together, we can help customers streamline workflows, increase throughput and enhance pre- and post-analytical sample traceability. This partnership reflects our commitment to delivering scalable solutions that support laboratories as they manage growing testing demands and prepare for the future of molecular diagnostics in an increasingly competitive environment.”
Enhancing Traceability and Scalability
Integrating the systems addresses both pre-analytical and post-analytical handling, supporting sample security and reliable test results across routine diagnostic operations.
“At Inpeco, we see automation as a key driver of the future of laboratories, through fully automated, touchless and traceable diagnostic processes that begin outside the lab and extend inside,” says Riccardo Triunfo, CEO of Inpeco, in a release. “As molecular testing expands, laboratories require solutions that can manage increasing complexity while maintaining performance and reliability. With over 30 years of experience in laboratory automation, we are proud to bring our expertise to this important field. Our partnership with Hologic reflects our common dedication to innovation and our shared goal: helping laboratories embrace the future of molecular diagnostics with high performance and reliability.”
