- The central laboratory of the analysis division of the Ribera group acquires new technology for comprehensive biological diagnosis, which allows more than 1.000 daily determinations to be carried out since this month of January
- The number of professionals grew by 25% in the last year to respond efficiently and quickly to the needs of the Hospital del Vinalopó and the health centers
Ribera Lab, the laboratory division of the Ribera healthcare group, has assumed since this month of January all the analyzes of the Vinalopó Health Department, that is, all those that are carried out on patients of the Vinalopó University Hospital and all the Primary Care centers in the area. The analysis and management of all Vinalopó's blood, urine and biological fluid tests has tripled the activity of the Ribera central laboratory, located in Torrellano (Elche).
Shortly before taking on this volume of work, Ribera Lab completed the installation of new technology, which now allows it to carry out more than 1.000 determinations per day, with the capacity to increase it as needed. The new automation system known as ATELICA stands out, with the capacity to analyze 800 tubes per hour.
Ribera Lab, which is already integrated into a large part of the hospitals in the health group, has prepared itself to assume the management of the laboratory in the Vinalopó area. In addition to the new machines that have been installed during the last quarter of 2022, the laboratory division has increased the number of professionals at its Torrellano center by 25%, to "respond effectively and quickly to the needs of patients of the entire health department," says its director, Mayte Alarcón.
The laboratory division of the Ribera health group has a constitutional, prenatal and onco-haematological cytogenetics laboratory, a molecular biopathology laboratory for hereditary, infection and onco-haematological diseases, in addition to the central clinical laboratory.
