First Two US labs Go Live with X-Lab's Labgnostic: the World's First Agnostic Laboratory Exchange NetworkUK company launches successful pilot between TriCore and Arkana Labs to enable interoperability between diagnostic laboratories. LEEDS, England, ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. and LITTLE ROCK, Ark. , May 22, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, X-Lab, a UK-based company who owns and operates a systems-agnostic laboratory exchange hub, called Labgnostic, went 'live' in connecting their first two US labs to the network. New Mexico-based TriCore and Arkansas-based Arkana Labs are the first two labs to join the lab-to-lab service and experience faster turnaround times, improved efficiency, cost-effectiveness, and patient-safety. On the news of the "Go Live", X-Lab's CEO, Mat Barrow, said: "We're excited about the go-live between TriCore and Arkana. This represents the first step towards growing a national exchange of laboratories in the US and sharing the benefits which the UK has been experiencing for a long time. As more labs join the network, the possibilities of what Labgnostic can offer to the US market will only grow stronger." Both labs will see dramatic changes to the way lab-to-lab referrals work for them, alongside a host of benefits to using the system. Labgnostic enables requests to be automatically sent from the requesting lab to the reference lab as soon as an order is generated, it enters the reference lab's Laboratory Information System (LIS) and, when a sample arrives, it can proceed to testing straight away and, when a result it generated, this will be sent back to the requester via Labgnostic almost immediately. TriCore, an independent, regional laboratory who already receives 12 million samples per year, is aiming to create efficiencies for this business and increase capacity for new business from referring laboratories:
