Laboratory Automation
Our Central Processing Laboratory situated in Navi Mumbai is a state-of-art, fully automated diagnostic laboratory equipped with the most advanced instrumentation from leading international brands. With a minimum but highly qualified workforce, the laboratory is driven by barcoded and bi-directionally interfaced system and an intelligent laboratory information system (LIS).
Barcoding and bi-directional interfacing
At Thyrocare, we rely on efficient systems for smooth and error free processing of 25,000 samples that we receive each day. We are the first, and so far, the only diagnostic laboratory to have introduced bar-coding system across our 25,000 collection points nationwide. Every sample is identified by the barcode on the vial. Through this system, the moment the vial is mounted on the automation instrument, it is automatically routed to the correct analyzer for processing and simultaneously output data is synchronized with the software to generate and upload the reports on the website, making the entire process fast and error free.
Thus, our systems ensure that right tests are done on the right specimen, and right results are delivered to the right people at the right time and right cost. Not only does bar-coding ensure error-free reporting, it also helps in curtailing the time consumed or lost in pre-analytical procedures and offers a smooth, hassle free and efficient operation.

Technologies in use
Our Backend Prowess
Through air-cargo, more than 25,000 samples from all parts of India are brought to CPL. This is made possible by a strong logistics network of Thyrocare whose well co-ordinated efforts ensure that the samples reach the CPL every night, same night, before mid-night. These are meticulously collected, collated, checked for sample integrity, temperature and other aspects of Pre-analytical Quality Control and then stored appropriately.
IT helps in seamless integration of all the processes, work orders are downloaded from the web server, barcodes are scanned and specimens are arranged accordingly for processing. More than 25,000 different samples are processed every night and the reports are directly uploaded back in the website for our customer to see.
