Qiagen has launched the QIAensemble Decapper automated sample preparation system, which automates the handling of liquid-based cytology (LBC) and other liquid vials, enabling laboratories to eliminate many manual steps. It improves laboratory workflow by providing an automated solution for transferring clinical samples from closed primary vials to compatible tubes for downstream processing. QIAensemble Decapper was launched in the USA late in 2011, with rollout in Europe and other areas of the world underway this year.
