Burnaby's hospital is the first in the Fraser Health region to get a new system aimed at speeding up lab results.
The 1.5-million-dollar Beckman Autoline D-x-A five-thousand system has a conveyor for moving test tubes between analyzers.
It uses barcode scanning to identify samples before automatically performing required testing on samples.
Burnaby is the first of four sites in the Fraser Health region to get the system with Royal Columbian Hospital, Surrey Memorial Hospital and Abbotsford Regional Hospital to get their Autoline systems next year
