CAP TODAY Pathology/Laboratory Medicine/Laboratory Management
June 2015—APiQ (Anatomic Pathology with Extra Intelligence) from Leica provides real-time laboratory workflow information on mobile devices. The initial release consists of two immunohistochemistry solutions: the APiQ Inventory Manager and the APiQ Instrument Dashboard.
APiQ Inventory Manager gathers inventory information automatically and makes it available anywhere using a mobile tablet. Lab managers can make purchasing decisions based on real-time information, such as the current status of antibodies, slides, and bulk fluids, and can maximize working capital by avoiding under- and overstocking. Eliminating manual inventory management also allows for significant time and workload savings.
With the APiQ Instrument Dashboard, laboratory managers can, from their smartphone, remotely check Leica Bond instruments, confirm slide completion times, and ensure the daily workload is on track. Both solutions are customizable and can be tailored by the end user.
“APiQ helps laboratories save time and better manage their instruments and inventory. There’s now no reason why a lab should run out of a particular reagent or consumable,” said Matthias Weber, MD, president of Leica Biosystems.
