AutoMate 2500 Family Sample Processing Systems

High-impact pre-and post-analytical laboratory automation

The AutoMate 2500 is a sample processing system that automates the pre-analytical and post-analytical steps of laboratory testing. It can process up to 1,200 samples per hour and can be used to automate a wide range of laboratory tests, including chemistry, immunoassay, and hematology.

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
