Advanced capabilities   

• Minimize manual handling with automated sample loading and sorting   * Simplify measuring with through-the-label sample volume detection   * Enable fast processing with sorting speeds of 800–1,200 tubes per hour   * Reduce manual sample preparation errors and ensure faster, more accurate secondary tube preparation with intelligent aliquoting* and tube labeling   * Experience ease of use with intuitive software   * Transfer sample to archiving safely and conveniently with recapper technology   

  Single point of entry   * Manage sample tubes from entry into the laboratory until archiving   * Re-sort samples for pending test routing or for storage when samples have volume remaining   * Sort STATs to separate locations   * Provide sorting flexibility with up to 24 dynamically configurable rack locations   * Unload and load instrument-specific racks   

  Tube inspection unit cap color recognition   * Validate sample type against test ordered to prevent errors with cap color analysis    * Detect the newest generation of coded caps   

  Volume determination   * Gain better sample control with automated measurement of each sample’s volume prior to dispensing into aliquot tube or for storage   * Ascertain whether all aliquots can be created through automated measurement of plasma or serum volume   * Allow infrared volume detection of up to three layers of labels on the tube with read-through labels   

  Aliquoting   * Process up to 900 total samples per hour   * Create up to seven aliquots per primary tube   * Measure filling level accurately through conductive tips with graphite fraction   * Transfer the proper volume for samples with single or multiple tests   * Prioritize aliquots to ensure most critical samples are created first, if sample volume is minimal   * Detect clots and route clotted samples for manual processing   

  Sorting to sample racks   * Sort to generic 50-tube racks or analyzer racks to accommodate transfers to instruments, other laboratory sections or send-out test requirements through an open system architecture   * Create up to 150 sorting locations by subdividing 1,200-sample capacity and up to 24 generic racks   * Freely define and dynamically configure drawers; select the standard 50-position rack or instrument-specific racks   * Re-sort samples from personality racks after analysis, either to next analyzer or sample storage; determine routing by duration or user-defined destination
