Work faster. Work safer. Leave the paperwork behind.

Prima for Lab Staff

Prima is built around the way bench technicians actually work. Barcode scanning drives every step of the lab process, so there is nothing to write down and nothing to transcribe. Every action is logged automatically, replacing paper requisitions, log books, and manual entries entirely. Audio alerts keep you informed of status changes and exceptions without pulling your attention away from your work. Protocols guide you through each workflow, enforcing the correct steps before a case advances. The result is a smoother, faster workday with fewer errors and less time spent on paper.
