Objective
"Decision making in Life Science and Healthcare sector (LSH) is mainly based on laboratory tests results; errors result in up to €27.3B worth of economic damage globally or can have devastating effect such as loss of lives. Automation of laboratory operations is a one-way street for LSH laboratories in order to deal with the high volume of tests demanded and provide fast and accurate results; however, the solutions suggested should also meet their tight budgets.
The objective of LiST project, which is currently positioned at TRL6, is to bring into the market a variety of cost-effective automated laboratory equipment (LiST products) all based on a common robotic platform (List platform). The innovative List platform will be able to fit different groups of specific parts (LiST tools), with each group/tool designed to perform a single application related to sample handling (SH) before or after sample storage. SH applications include basic but time- and manpower-consuming tasks that, if automated, can considerably increase laboratories' productivity and efficiency. The use of an ""one-for-all"" platform will reduce development costs by 60% (€160K vs. current €200-500K - only the development of the specific tools will be required) and will help us provide our customers with 15% cheaper (€9,000 vs. current €11,000) automated equipment in less time (time-to-market 6-12 vs. 24 months).
HTA is a leading Italian engineering and manufacturing company in the business of scientific instrumentation to laboratories, since 25 years. Having already successfully established ""one-for-all"" robotic platforms in the analytical market we are now confident that the same business plan would triumph in a rapidly developing and open to automation market like LSH. The total investment of LiST is €1.15M and the average profit gain will be €0.95M/year thus the pay back of the project will be only 1.2 years after its commercialization.

Net EU financial contribution. The sum of money that the participant receives, deducted by the EU contribution to its linked third party. It considers the distribution of the EU financial contribution between direct beneficiaries of the project and other types of participants, like third-party participants.
