- The central laboratory of the Ribera Group’s analysis division acquires new technology for integral biological diagnosis, which will allow it to carry out more than 1,000 determinations a day as of this January.
- The number of professionals has increased by 25% in the last year in order to respond efficiently and quickly to the needs of the Vinalopó Hospital and the health centres.
Ribera Lab, the laboratory division of the Ribera healthcare group, has taken over from this January all the analytical tests of the Vinalopó Health Department, i.e. all those carried out on patients at the Vinalopó University Hospital and all the Primary Care centres in the area. The analysis and management of all the blood, urine and biological fluid analyses of Vinalopó has meant tripling the activity of the central laboratory of Ribera, 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 a day, with the capacity to increase it as required. Of particular note is the new automation system known as ATELICA, with the capacity to analyse 800 tubes per hour.
Ribera Lab, which is already integrated in most of the hospitals of the healthcare group, has prepared to take over 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 centre by 25%, in order to “respond efficiently and quickly to the needs of patients throughout the health department,” says its director, Mayte Alarcón.
The laboratory division of the Ribera Healthcare Group has a constitutional, prenatal and onco-haematological cytogenetics laboratory, a molecular biopathology laboratory for hereditary diseases, infections and onco-haematological diseases, in addition to the central clinical laboratory.
