Maximizing throughput in your in-house lab

Technical Tip

Maximizing throughput in your in-house laboratory

The IDEXX VetLab Station’s ability to schedule runs for analyzers even when they are busy, helps to keep your work flow moving. Just select the busy (yellow) analyzer icon on the Select Instruments screen, and when the analyzer is ready to process another sample, its icon will display on the Home screen with a ready (green) status. This improves the throughput of each of your analyzers, maximizing your time and efficiency.

To see this capability in action, watch this 1-minute video DE Link Arrow
