Every year, over 100,000 newborns in New South Wales are screened for a wide array of disorders-an essential public health initiative that demands speed, accuracy, and efficiency. As the number of disorders increased, so did the need for smarter solutions. That's where Revvity stepped in.
To supercharge the workflow, a state-of-the-art robotic system was installed to streamline sample preparation for mass spectrometry analysis. The result? Faster turnaround times, enhanced precision, and a dramatically reduced workload for lab teams.
Revvity's automation isn't just filling a gap-it's setting a new standard for newborn screening excellence.
Our collaboration with NSW Newborn Screening Programme
We're proud to partner with the NSW Newborn Screening Program, which plays a vital role in safeguarding the health of newborns across the state. The screening involves a simple heel prick test performed within the first few days of a baby's life. This test can identify early indicators of a range of congenital metabolic disorders-many of which may not show symptoms immediately.
Early detection means that affected children can begin receiving care and treatment promptly, giving them the best possible start in life.
In 2025 July, The NSW Newborn Screening Programme has been enhanced with Revvity Cell explorer™ G3 integrated automation systems, bringing advanced automation that delivers faster results for your precious little one. You can check 2 automation systems that Revvity crew and NSW Newborn Screening team worked together in the video below:
This innovation means earlier detection of potential health concerns, leading to timely interventions and better outcomes for your baby. Every family deserves peace of mind during those crucial early days, and this technology helps make that possible.
