This scientific workshop will explore strategies for automating laboratory-developed tests (LDTs) to detect emerging pathogens. It highlights the capabilities of the cobas® omni Utility Channel, an open-channel capability of the cobas® 5800/6800/8800 Systems. Participants will learn how to leverage the omni Utility Channel to transition manual workflows, from nucleic acid extraction to detection, into fully automated processes. The workshop will address the challenges associated with managing emerging health threats. Furthermore, the workshop will feature specific case studies demonstrating the omni Utility Channel's successful application in real-world scenarios (Candida auris, Measles, and Influenza H5N1), underscoring its flexibility and efficiency. Attendees will gain an understanding of how the omni Utility Channel can be utilized to adapt to evolving testing needs and respond to new pathogens.
