Venturing into diagnostic software quickly demanded a more end-to-end approach. “Since we’ve delivered on our initial promise, fully automated result interpretation, more and more customers came to us to further automate their PCR workflow” says Wouter Uten, CEO at UgenTec “Jens Hamann has years of expertise in middleware, his company will help us accelerate development and learnings in the PCR middleware field”.” “UgenTec and Hamann Laborautomation have very similar customers, and both of our companies have a lot of expertise in their respective fields” said Jens Hamann, CEO at Hamann Laborautomation. “I’m excited to work with a company that has a proven QA track record and a clinically proven solution which helps laboratories automate and standardize their routine PCR workflow.” The companies now offer the PCR middleware and the CE-IVD, automated PCR interpretation software to all laboratories seeking to further automate their workflow. Together with the quality control module and the LIMS integration of UgenTec, the collaboration with Hamann Laborautomation enables one of the most complete software solutions in PCR automation available in today’s market.
