We recognize that pathology labs are under pressure to maximize the value of their available staff and instruments, all without compromising quality. Inadequate staffing and heavy workload have been identified as top contributors to burnout experienced by 85% of lab professionals.1
Many labs lean toward adding more instruments for their advanced tissue staining techniques (IHC/ISH) to keep up with the growing demand and ensure fast turnaround times. However, contrary to what’s intended, this can increase complexity and decrease overall lab efficiency.
Case studies show that additional IHC instruments can require up to 60% extra hands-on time for tasks such as slide sorting and reagent preparation, leading to an 11–14% increase in turnaround time.2
With a predicted 21% increase in cancer cases by 2040 compared to 2020,3 there is now, more than ever, a need for workflow optimizations to address these challenges.
Studies show that a case-based approach to tissue staining and continuous processing supports labs in achieving more with less. With the Agilent Dako Omnis family of instruments, labs can improve efficiency, reduce costs, and provide timely results with an optimized workflow. It is a reasonable assumption that these improvements will also contribute to increased job satisfaction and well-being of staff.2, 4-8
The Dako Omnis family of instruments can help your lab increase throughput with fewer instruments and less hands-on time, while at the same time improving the case turnaround time. By arranging the optimized workflow around the diagnostic unit—the patient case—Dako Omnis enables faster and continuous delivery of complete cases.
With three additional members of the Dako Omnis family, there's a solution that fits every pathology lab. As your lab successfully grows over time, you can pick any combination of instruments that matches your new needs.
