Pune-based molecular diagnostics company, Mylab Discovery Solutions launched ‘Compact XL’ - India’s first fully-automated Sample-to-PCR-ready system for molecular diagnostics. The machine is designed to automate lab operations from sample handling to RT-PCR ready tube preparation, and do these operations in one single compact benchtop machine.
Compact XL is a cartridge-based machine and can test multiple samples concurrently. Compact XL can be used for a wide range of RNA/DNA-based tests including Covid-19 RT- PCR tests. The machine can take a variety of sample types such as plasma, tissue, sputum, and swab. Hasmukh Rawal, MD, Mylab Discovery Solutions, said, “To make India self-reliant in advanced diagnostics, Compact XL is our most ambitious project to date. Compact XL will replace the need of 700 sq ft of cleanroom lab with a 4x3 benchtop machine and reduce the need of 3-4 expert technicians to just one, thus saving operational costs for labs.
He added that from the patients’ perspective, automated processes will eliminate errors and improve accuracy. For instance, the robotic movements in machines are precise to the tune of a hundred-thousandths of an ml when handling liquids.
‘UV Case’ in the health security segment
To meet the growing demand for products in the health security space, Godrej Security Solutions has launched the ‘UV Case’ and expanded its health security segment.
