===Tubo===
 
Tubo is a hardware and software package designed as a workspace "to organize and retrieve tubes through automatic position detection."<ref name="OmniSol" /> The systm is designed to automatically recognize operations performed on the device work area, including placement and removal of a rack or tube. Users can place a rack of tubes of any size on the workspace, and the system is designed to scan, recognize, and place the tubes into the workflow. The system includes a relational database for archiving data from the machine.<ref name="OmniSol" />
 
Workflow for Tubo is generally:
 
'''1''' Identify a rack by scanning its barcode (built-in or external device attached).
 
'''2''' Place the rack on the Tubo workspace where required.
 
'''3''' Identify a tube by scanning its barcode, then place it in any rack or in the rack suggested by Tubo.
 
'''4''' If the rack is recognized (i.e. coming from a specific analyzer), there is no need to scan each tube: tube mapping is already done.
 
'''5''' Search for a specific tube (or set of tubes) by entering a tube ID (or other criteria) or just choose any selection filter.
 
'''6''' Tubes are highlighted on both touchscreen and workspace coordinates (LEDs).
 
'''7.''' Move tubes and/or racks to the required next location.
 
Tubo's capabilities are not limited by mechanical constraints. Here some other business cases:
 
* tube check-in
* tubes sorting (multi-step workflow; priority management)
* tube retrieval (on any rack, including on analyzer/automation system racks)
* tube selection to be completed from different analyzers
* instant guideline to select tubes on any rack for rerun/reflex or next applicable step
* tube storage (move a rack away from Tubo and specify the storage unit)
* aliquotting (highlight primary tube and position(s) for the aliquotes)
* phletobomist side builds (building the rack mapping at the blood collection area)
* lab automation of tubes not suitable for a typical automated system
 
====Pricing====
 
Public pricing is not available.
 
====Demonstration videos and other media====
 
The following demonstration videos are available for Tubo:

Omnilab was founded in 1998.[2]

In 2015, healthcare company Abbott acquired Omnilab. By November 1, 2017, Omnilab officially became Abbott Srl, doing business as Abbott Italy.[3] The LabOnline middleware was renamed to AlinIQ AMS.

Technology and products

LabOnline

LabOnline was a middleware platform designed to "manage and improve the capabilities of existing automation systems (pre-analytics, analytics and post-analytics) in any section of the laboratory."[1] The software was designed to work between one or more laboratory information systems (LIS) and analytical instruments, providing additional functionality and workflow management not available in either the LIS or the instrument.
