Auburn Community Hospital (ACH) is the first institution in the United States to integrate Abbott's Alinity h‐series into the ACH Core Laboratory.  This cutting-edge hematology automation system is set to transform the capabilities of the Auburn Laboratory. The new system will facilitate the seamless measurement of complete blood counts, a crucial healthcare test widely ordered for patients. 
In addition to conducting complete blood counts, this new system will have significant benefits for our physicians and patients allowing for increased specificity in the screening of numerous disorders such as infections, anemia, immune system diseases, and blood cancers. Not only will the Lab offer complete blood counts but will do this with increased accuracy, speed and efficiency, and places the ACH Core Lab on the level of the largest and most prestigious healthcare institutions and clinical laboratories in the world

The ACH Laboratory has been working with Abbott on securing this new technology for over two years and has a long and established relationship with Abbott. The ACH Core Lab has been recognized by the Joint Commission and the Department of Health for its high level of performance, including an exceptionally high volume of tests performed annually, and maintaining operations during the pandemic while carrying out thousands of tests and allowing necessary surgeries to continue, while keeping patients and employees safe.  
 
This new system is particularly important to ACH because the hospital will open a comprehensive cancer center this month and will be breaking ground soon for the Auburn Heart Institute. "These patient groups, known for their complex blood samples, pose challenges in analysis and this advanced technology promises enhanced accuracy and efficiency which will allow for healthcare professionals treating cardiology patients or cancer patients better data to care for patients right in our own backyard," stated Ronald Kirshner, MD, and Chair of the Auburn Heart Institute
