Discrete automation leverages the power of an automated sample-processing workstation like the automate™ 800/600 or 1200/2500 sample processing systems. With discrete automation, labs can reduce manual processing by more than 70 percent.

• sample receiving
• sort and prioritize samples
• integrated centrifugation
• decap samples
• create aliquot tubes from primary sample tubes

these solutions enable labs to standardize processes, reduce steps, provide more consistent turnaround time, and simplify workflow. And, as your test volume increases, discrete automation allows you to add more automation as your requirements dictate.

When you need to improve lab efficiency, turn to the AutoMate for an automation system that fits your lab's unique requirements.

The AutoMate has everything you need to streamline pre- and post-analytical processes and position your lab for optimal performance and labor usage. Plus, with the AutoMate, your lab can accommodate greater workflow by eliminating steps between sample receipt and analytical stage.

• Single point of entry, to manage all tubes, from sample receipt to archiving
• Advanced, automated sample loading and sorting, to minimize manual handling
• Through-the-label sample volume detection
• Sorting speeds of 800-1,200 tubes per hour
• Intelligent aliquotting* and tube labeling to eliminate manual sample preparation errors and ensure faster, more accurate secondarytube preparation
• Intuitive software to facilitate ease of use
• Recapper for safe and convenient transfer to archiving
• Cap color analysis validates sample type against test ordered, for error prevention

Looking for immediate savings and still need flexibility to plan for future growth? System-based automation is a logical place to start. Simply put, system-based automation involves the use of automated instruments, consolidated workstations and information management systems that eliminate many labor-intensive processes in your lab. The end result is improved turnaround time and reduced operator intervention. And it allows you to incorporate additional workstations or modules to accommodate changing testing demands.
