COMPANY

Company History

LabThruPut (LTP) was founded in 2006 to improve the accuracy and precision of results released by clinical laboratories, and at the same time streamline the overall process. LTP’s AutoLabTech goes beyond traditional “middleware”—it is an end-to-end laboratory results automation and management product. It includes sample tracking/status monitoring and productivity statistics, as well as automated results review and follow-up.

VCA Antech uses our products in all of its 60 sites in North America.

Horiba Medical and LTP recently established a distribution agreement for LTP’s products.

Keys to our continuing success are the ease of installation, training, and use of our products, including creation and editing of review rules, and a total commitment to customer satisfaction and support.
