FLOW Solution

GLU For general laboratory use.

Automated. Efficient. Flexible.

Laboratories understand how labor-intensive and complex using manual workflows can be, often hindering productivity, increasing the potential for error, and affecting data tracking and compliance. The FLOW Solution provides complete workflow standardization and data automation for your entire lab-developed testing process. By moving your sample information from your lab information system through all instruments with complete data safety and sample tracking, you can generate accurate results with less effort than ever before.

FLOW Software connects and manages each component, ensuring full data security and traceability
