Just dump closed specimen tubes into the bulk loader no sorting or handling required. Tubes are automatically placed onto the processing track of the Bulk Loader. Then the barcode and sample type (serum, EDTA, citrate etc.) are identifi ed via the integral ID module. Samples are sorted into centrifuge adapters, feeder/ exit trays for laboratory lines, analyser racks, standard racks, BL 1200 ID carriers or BL 2000 bins per customer specifi cations. Tubes are either distributed according to defi ned parameters or to sample-related information received from the LIS (laboratory information system). Plausibility checks detect and sort out error samples

7 Sicherheit HSS Enhanced... effi ciency with the High Speed Sorter Sicherheit... Multifunctional concept with high sample throughput Clinical Laboratory HSS HSS 1625 Sample accessioning Decapping Sorting into analyser racks Decapping after analysis Placing tubes into archiving racks Pre- and post-analytics in one compact system High throughput of up to 1,200 tubes/hour Compatible with most racks or carrier types Barcode reader & camera for tube identifi cation Recapping with archiving push cap or screw cap Retrofi tting of decapper or recapper modules is possible Recapping Sarstedt tubes of 13 or 15 mm diameter with screw caps FlexPlate Short track Flexible platform Pre- and post-analy tical applications...fl exibility at its best At a throughput of up to 1,200 tubes/hour, the HSS is ideally suited for rapid and effi cient sorting of sample tubes before they are placed into analyser systems. Depending on the sample material, centrifuged or noncentrifuged tubes are placed directly onto the HSS feeder platform in their respective racks. The HSS registers the barcode and cap colour, opens the sample tubes according to the respective workstation and sorts them into the specifi ed rack types (e.g. Abbott, Beckman, Roche, Siemens etc.) for analysis. After routine analysis, the tubes can be sorted or taken directly from the analyser racks, recapped and transferred to archiving racks. The standard layout designed for one confi guration of carriers can be easily and completely modifi ed with a FlexPlate, enabling the use of a variety of source and target carriers for routine or archival processing

8 Sicherheit PVS Sample... Distribution System Sicherheit... Ideal for aliquoting... Clinical Laboratory PVS 1625 PVS 2125 PVS 2625 PVS 1625 Full function pre- and post-analytical system Ideal in combination with any analytical platform Modular confi guration according to customer needs with: Loading platform and / or Bulk Loader ID Module Decapper Recapper Aliquoter Sorter For all common tube types mm diameter / mm length Compatible with most racks or carrier types The PVS 1625 is a tailor made automation system for pre- and post-analytical processing of samples. It is able to handle any kind of rack and tray type. As an open system, it is complementary to any analytical platform or can be used independently. Loading of unracked or racked sample tubes is via the Bulk Loader (see page 10) or in racks via the loading platform, which is suitable for closed and open tubes. ID modules for reading barcodes, identifying tube types via camera and detecting the fi ll level are available. Barcoded secondary tubes are prepared and the requested volume is dispensed at the Aliquoter. No more sample mix-ups will occur and the available volume will be used in the most effi cient way. Depending on the module, recapping with an archiving push cap (for any tube diameter between 13 and 16 mm) or screw cap (for SARSTEDT tubes with 13 or 15 mm diameter) will be performed to close tubes for archiving or send-aways.

9 Sicherheit... Sicherheit... Modular concepts to ensure maximum fl exibility Take your choice! Sample loading Identification Aliquoting Recapping Sorting / Archiving Barcode Tube type Length Diameter Cap colour Push cap Sorting platform Bulk Loader Fill level Bulk Loader BL 2000 bins Sampling from a primary tube Identification: For effi cient sample processing, each tube must be identifi ed by the barcode. The barcode may also include information on the type of specimen to be analysed. Last but not least, the tube type plays an important role to ensure trouble-free processing. ID modules with a range of functions such as reading barcodes, identifying tube types via camera and detecting the fi ll level are available. Screw cap Archiving Linear racks Decapping Loading platform FlexPlate Sample loading: With the Bulk Loader module closed specimens are supplied to the individual target units. Just dump tubes into the Bulk Loader no sorting or handling required. Alternatively, open or closed sample tubes in any rack or tray are placed onto the loading platform and fed into the system. Using the FlexPlate (see above) enables a maximum choice of sample carriers. Push caps / Screw caps Decapping: The decapper module removes screw caps and push caps alike. Any tubes sized from 13 to 16 mm diameter and 80 to 100 mm length (including the cap) are processed in a mixed operation and without prior sorting. The push caps and screw caps are safely removed and hygienically disposed of. Assemble a system tailored to your individual needs! Dispensing into a secondary tube Aliquoting: The aliquoter provides barcoded secondary tubes with precisely dosed volumes. Sample mix-up is avoided and the available sample volume is used in the most effi cient way. Refer to page 28 for information on available secondary tubes. Recapping: with two different recapper modules using either an archiving push cap for any tube diameter between 13 and 16 mm or a screw cap for SARSTEDT tubes with 13 or 15 mm diameter. Sorting and archiving: According to requests received from LIS (laboratory information system) or a strictly defi ned concept (cap colour, tubes) are automatically sorted to any rack or carrier types (refer to FlexPlate, p. 16). For the BL 2000, tubes are distributed to bins assigned to individual working areas. Tubes sorted for archiving are registered in a protocol that includes the tube ID, carrier number, position on the carrier, and time stamp so that tubes can be easily traced for further analysis

10 Sicherheit Automation... in Microbiology Sicherheit... As product quality requirements increase and human resources decrease, the demand for extensive automated systems in microbiological laboratories has become a major challenge. Compared to Clinical Chemistry and Haematology, this development is almost 10 years behind. The specifi c benefi t of our Petri dish Organisation System is to make the working steps required to prepare nutrient dishes for further processing more transparent, safer and more effi cient. Mix-ups while maintaining a consistently high throughput are avoided. Our Petri dish Transfer System makes processing procedures signifi cantly faster by transporting stacked sets of Petri dishes to the individual workstations

13 Sicherheit Software... Sicherheit... Intelligent distribution, transparent configuration and simple, intuitive handling Laboratory Automation SOFTWARE The control and operation software is as flexible as the laboratory automation systems. Software design, attendance and system know-how are among SARSTEDT s core competencies. Special features: Easy-to-learn system operation Swift and simple confi guration Transparent system status layout Effi cient sample traceability Optimal archiving sample administration Plausibility check Completeness check Easy access to information on unidentifi ed samples Comprehensive statistical functions The program is available on a WindowsXP based touch panel PC which is an integral system component. As a user interface, it links both the user to the automation system and the automation system to the laboratory information system (LIS) or any middleware installed. Enabling easy visualisation of system components, it portrays internal sample transport paths, logistical transfer, the orientation and fi lling status of the carriers on the feeding and release platforms, as well as the current status of the functional modules. The confi guration enables almost unlimited possibilities of parameter assignment to workstations, carriers, and tests, handling general and custom distribution rules as well as processing by order of precedence. Information on the sample processing status and orders can be easily retrieved, and empirical data compiled and printed. The period of storing information on the data base can be defi ned to customised requirements. Tube type identifi cation Sample traceability Defi nition of nut rient media for POS 720/PTS Communication between the automation system and the LIS proceeds on an ASTM based protocol either in the query or batch mode. Moreover, the system is suitably designed for use of additional interface protocols

14 Sicherheit Disposables... for laboratory automation Sicherheit... The complete SARSTEDT range at a glance CLINICAL LABORATORY S-Monovette Aliquot tubes With automation advancing in clinical labs, the requirements to be met by blood collection tubes have changed. The tubes must be designed to comply with a range of defi ned preconditions for sample identifi cation using barcode readers, centrifugation, decapping and recapping, sorting, and sample transport in analyser line pucks. The S-Monovette 75 x 13 mm is ideally suited to meet these requirements and available with any preparation. Depending on the application, aliquot tubes with 13 or 15 mm diameter are available with and without false bottom, and push or screw cap. If required, the tubes are automatically recapped. Screw cap tubes are perfectly suited for long-term storage and transport. Blood Collection and Diagnostic Products Laboratory Products Venous blood collection Capillary blood collection Prepared micro tubes Urine and faeces range Sputum containers Miscellaneous tests Special tubes and centrifuge tubes Reagent tubes and screw cap micro tubes Archiving cap and screw caps Pipette tips Archiving caps for any tube diameter from 13 to 16 mm are ideal to minimise the evaporation of sample material during storage. Tubes can be automatically capped, and recapped if analyses need to be repeated. Screw caps are perfectly suited for long-time storage and transport tubes. Black tips are generally used to dispense samples into aliquot tubes. The fi ll level is determined conductively and the tip immersed for pipetting. During the pipetting process, the tip descends as fi ll levels drop. If the fi ll level has already been established via the ID module (camera), pipetting proceeds at the aliquoter using the blue standard tip. Both tips are kept on stock and used as required for a particular application.
