Middleware Boosts Efficiency in Lab Automation

By LabMedica International staff writers
Posted on 03 May 2012
New middleware for clinical chemistry, microbiology, and molecular biology labs improves laboratory efficiency, compliance, and quality control.

Dubbed Halia, the middleware utilizes a rule-based engine to deliver all-round control over laboratory workflow, and sample processing. More...
The new interface provides a complete web-based lab computerization system, allowing central management and connection of all analyzers through a single interface on any workstation.

Halia’s user-configurable rule-based engine enables autoverification, sample routing, and real-time clinical data capture and management for greater quality control. By supporting open automation systems and addressing issues such as regulatory compliance, workforce reductions, and enhanced quality control, Halia effectively meets the challenges facing lab managers.

Halia instrument middleware from NoemaLife (Bologna, Italy), a European provider of clinical and hospital software solutions, provides a complete lab computerization solution. Halia also provides detailed real-time data on total turnaround time (TAT)–a key performance indicator in large laboratories striving to increase throughput. Halia permits central management of all the pre-analysis, analysis, and post analysis instruments found in a modern clinical lab.

If a Laboratory Information System/Laboratory Information Management System (LIS/LIMS system) goes down, Halia’s LIS/LIMS backup module allows manual input of sample information so that analysis can continue. Manual samples are then matched to LIS/LIMS data once the connection is restored.

Andrea Chiapponi, managing director of NoemaLife SpA, commented, "In addition to laboratories looking for open middleware which is vendor independent, Halia will be of interest to IVD device vendors wanting to create turnkey solutions which include maximum LIS/LIMS connectivity. Halia’s vendor-independence also enables merging of laboratories and even hospitalswith different LIS/LIMS solutions into a seamless wide area network. For example, Halia can manage re-tests on different analyzers deployed in separate labs and coordinate specimen storage information relating to multiple locations."
