Manual Tube Handling Is Slowing Your Lab Down
Technicians spend hours on work that is tedious, fatiguing, and a constant source of human error. Existing automation is too expensive, too rigid, or built for single-format operations.
Hours Lost Daily
Picking, capping, labeling, sorting — repeated hundreds of times a day by skilled staff who should be doing higher-value work.
Error at Every Step
Mislabeled tubes, cross-contaminated samples, wrong caps — manual handling introduces risk that compounds across every batch.
Rigid, Overpriced Systems
Traditional automation can't handle mixed tube formats or variable workflows — and costs 5–10x what most labs can justify.
One System. Every Step of Your Tube Workflow.
Dorna's modular platform combines the Dorna Core System with purpose-built lab modules to automate your entire tube handling workflow — regardless of format, volume, or complexity. Start with the steps that matter most and add capabilities as your needs grow. No custom engineering. No lengthy integration.
