Centrifuge/Decapper Module for the ADVIA® LabCell® and ADVIA WorkCell® CDX
Features
Hettich Rotanta 46 RSC centrifuge
• Temperature range settings -20°C to +40°C
• User selectable centrifugation cycles
1 to 60 tubes per centrifugation cycle
TruWeight™ load balancing system
Selectable timeout for start of cycle
Throughput of up to 240 tubes/hour
Provides efficient parallel processing
• 3 separate robots
• 2 loading queues
• 1 unloading queue
• 2 decappers with 3,000 cap waste bin
Flexible specimen handling
• Intermixed tube sizes at any time
• Intermixed cap types at any time
Automatic detection of broken tubes
Benefits
Links pre-analytical to analytical and post-analytical sample processes within ADVIA® modular automation systems
Allows various tube sizes and cap types - no requirement to standardize on a single tube size or type
Each tube is weighed to provide balance between centrifuge bucket inserts
Large used-cap waste bin permits walk-away of over 12 hours
Broken-tube and cap-remaining detectors allow operators to manage problem tubes individually and in a timely manner
Programming profiles allow ease of making changes for
different sample-type needs
