Basic System cobas p 512 pre-analytical system 07563124001
Basic Specifications • Continuous loading of tubes
• Simultaneous loading of different tube types
• Prioritization of urgent samples
• Registration of samples
• C omprehensive inspection of sample quality
- Tube type identification via tube dimensions & cap color
(used to cross-check the tube type with the test request and/or specimen)
- Liquid level check and sample volume calculation through 3 barcode labels
- Spin status detection
• Decapping of tubes
• Simultaneous decapping of hemogard, screw and rubber stopper caps
• Removal of caps with a twist and pull motion to prevent build-up of aerosols
• Sorting according configurable sorting criteria, including utilizing sample quality check information
for error handling
• Flexible and freely definable input and output areas:
- Into and out of racks
- Out of centrifuge buckets
• Definable output areas for tubes with specific errors (e.g. barcode not readable, no test requests)
• First pass and recursive workflow
• Automatic barcode alignment of tubes for reading and sorting
• Archiving of samples
