Dynacon Inc., has recently reached an important milestone: the delivery of its 100th inocuLAB. A university hospital in the Boston area will use an inocuLAB to automatically plant and streak microbiology specimens for rapid, cost effective, high quality specimen processing.

A unique pre-analytical workstation for microbiology automation — inoculating, streaking, and bar-coding of liquid specimens, including decapping and recapping specimen containers — inocuLAB can also perform in Media Streaking Mode for other specimen types, using familiar but customizable quadrant-streaking patterns.

“Our most recent model [inocuLAB LQS] now has the ability to automatically process liquid-based flocked swab transport systems,” says Dr. Reda Fayek, VP & GM of Dynacon´s Lab Automation division. “Two of our instruments in Europe are automating the eSwab system and we look forward to bringing this technology to the U.S. market.”

Every inocuLAB can be customized to handle the gamut of specimen containers and streak media plates, and to streak in customer defined patterns. Our instruments have been proven to be excellent lab investments: they ensure positive patient identification, they eliminate the risk of repetitive strain injury, and they streak with a quality that could never be expected of any human.

Now trusted by leading microbiologists around the world, inocuLAB is recommended by one of the world´s largest clinical lab companies as “best practice” for both quality and ROI. The 2007 Frost & Sullivan Market Insight report on microbiology automation recognizes inocuLAB as the established world leader in its field. With an impressive legacy and now showcasing a mature, battle-proven third-generation design, inocuLAB instruments process more than 13 million specimens every year with results that are universally trusted.

Our inocuLABs are providing medical and cost benefits to hospitals large and small, to research and clinical laboratories of all sorts, and to reference labs across the U.S., Canada, Sweden, The Netherlands, Denmark, Italy and Belgium. With over 30 years´ experience in automation, Dynacon Inc. is the clear leader in the analysis, design, simulation, fabrication, assembly and integration of the world´s best and proven instruments.

Our current customers include Quest Diagnostics, Stanford University Hospital, Kaiser Permanente, Gamma Dynacare, Montefiore Medical Center, ARUP, and Carolina´s Medical Center (among many others). A more complete list of our current customers can be obtained on request.
