Chennai: Healthcare service provider Apollo Diagnostics has launched its Digi-Smart Central Reference Laboratory (CRL), in Chennai.
The company claims to deliver a 60% reduction in Laboratory sample Turnaround Time (TAT) through this initiative.
The facility combines five laboratory disciplines—clinical chemistry, immunoassay, serology, hematology, and hemostasis—into a single, digitally monitored and automated system, using robotics, imaging tools, bespoke algorithms, and machine learning to manage operations.
According to the company, the CRL provides a menu of more than 3,000 tests and includes capabilities in microbiology, serology, flow cytometry, histopathology, cytopathology, immunohistochemistry, molecular biology, and medical genetics test.
Commenting on the development, Dr. Prathap C Reddy, Founder and Chairman, Apollo Hospitals said, “By seamlessly combining five key laboratory disciplines with advanced automation, this lab delivers faster, more accurate results, directly translating to better patient outcomes.”
