Coimbatore: In a groundbreaking move, Sri Ramakrishna Hospital, Coimbatore, has become the first in Tamil Nadu to introduce QUIDELORTHO'S VITROS AUTOMATION SOLUTIONS connected with VITROS XT 7600 Integrated analyzers. This state-of-the-art clinical lab equipment, launched on Monday, September 16th, offers world-class robotic automation for blood testing, powered by Artificial Intelligence (AI) quality-checking technology.

This cutting-edge system is designed to deliver highly accurate and reliable blood test reports in the shortest time possible, using minimal sample volume.
