The highly flexible TCAutomation laboratory automation solutions improve safety and efficiency in many kinds of clinical laboratories. Sample management's labor-intensive tasks in pre- and post-analytical phases can be automated in different combinations. Depending on the floor plan and efficiency requirements, the TCAutomation systems can be expanded step by step.
Product Detail
TCAutomation systems throughput can range from 250 up to 1000 tubes per hour. Because solutions are modular, they are easy to expand. Automating can be started from a certain function and built up towards total laboratory automation. Samples are transported in the system within dual-lane conveyors in a multitube carrier which is accommodating several tube sizes. The carrier includes an embedded microchip, based on RFID technology, making sample identification fast and reliable and enabling excellent real-time sample tracking possibilities.
Entry Modules for high volume automatic sample loading in user-specified racks.
Centrifuge Module for automatic and continuous centrifugation of samples.
Decapper Flex Module for automatic cap removal from different types and sizes of primary tubes.
Aliquoter/Labeler Module for automatic sample aliquoting to secondary tubes with user defined rules. Disposable tips are used. Secondary tubes are labelled automatically with the primary tube ID according to user-definable fields.
Recapper Module for automatic capping of different types and sizes of primary tubes.
Exit and Sorting Modules for high volume sample exit. Excellent sample sorting capabilities to different kinds of racks. Including sample archiving capabilities.
Control Unit, easy-to-navigate user interface for control over the whole automation system. Route definition is simple and gives flexibility to optimize the workflow.
Analyzer Interfaces, several analyzer connections which can be either point-of-space or robotic interfaces. Wide selection of analyzers from different manufactures are supported.
