Delta Instruments CombiScope-AutoLab™
The CombiScope-AutoLab by Delta Instruments, an Advanced Instruments company, is the only completely automated, sample-handling and component analysis system specifically designed for the dairy laboratory. This system will be the future standard for the industry.
The CombiScope-AutoLab, developed jointly by Advanced Instruments and a robotic systems developer has these unprecedented advantages over other instruments:
The CombiScope-AutoLab Advantage
• More reliable results for your patrons resulting from more consistent, uniform sample handling
• Lower workers’ compensation exposure by eliminating repetitive stress injury activities
• Labor cost-savings, giving laboratories the ability to use existing staff to increase efficiency
