Global healthcare leader Abbott has announced the launch of its innovative automation solutions, GLP systems Track, to support laboratories’ high-volume needs. India is now the world’s most populous nation, and the population is experiencing rising chronic disease burden.

As a result, the Indian diagnostic sector is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate of 11% to 12% between 2021 and 2026. Abbott’s proven cutting-edge technology offers more flexibility, helping laboratories optimise performance and efficiency to meet this growing demand.

Over the last several years, the need for diagnostic laboratories has increased. Today, up to 70% of medical decisions depend on lab test results. Abbott’s GLP systems Track can help increase accessibility and quality of care by automating lab operations. This automation solution has been installed in Ahmedabad, Bengaluru, Chennai and Srinagar.

With this launch, Abbott aims to strike a balance between quality of care and efficient use of resources. Across different care settings, depending on laboratory size and patient pool, this automation solution can handle bulk test tubes per day. GLP systems track removes at least 80% of manual steps, minimising manual errors. The automation solution also improves lab workers’ safety by minimising contact with patients’ blood samples and preventing exposure to biomedical waste.
