Clinical samples automatically find the fastest and safest route to your destination - with the Pathfinder by Hettich
Even under the prevailing time and cost pressures have maintained the quality of clinical laboratory analysis and to make money. Without expansion of automation, this is hardly possible. Depending on the size of the laboratory and the amount of sample volume, the problem in varying degrees, so that individual that will require solutions tailored to the needs.
One of the most flexible systems for laboratory automation, the company currently offers Hettich. With PathFinder 350S and 900, it opens small and large central laboratory Einsendelabors equally interesting possibilities. The use of automatic sample sorting device PathFinder 350S (about 350 samples per hour) small laboratories with low sample throughput benefit. The compact sorter takes up little space and can easily be installed on a lab bench. With the track and trace function can position and processing status of the samples at any time to query.
Almost all common tube types with 11-17 mm diameter and 63-120 mm in length can be processed. The system identifies the tubes using bar code, based on their size and color of the caps, sorted them according to destination, (analysis, archive, etc.), it scrutinizes possibly be defective from or edit them separately, when used as emergency samples at the designated collection point are introduced. Data to identify new tubes to be by the user without the help of external specialists entered in minutes.
The sample management system PathFinder 900 (about 1100 samples per hour) is tailored to the needs of high-throughput laboratories. By sorting the samples, decappt, aliquoted and then closes, it automates all stages of pre-and post analysis. Its high degree of flexibility is mainly based on a modular construction. The individual modules (sorters, Decapper, aliquoting, Recapper are) is independent, but not separate entities. They are integrated into the overall system. If a module failure, the tubes are directed past him. This has the advantage that the whole system rests. While the problem is resolved in the affected part, continues to run the rest of the operation.
Even otherwise it will remain with the PathFinder 900 no time on the track. Since it can be operated from three sides, it can be "traffic" conveniently placed right in the room.
In terms of the destinations of samples from the PathFinder is 900 as user friendly. Number and location of the racks can be assigned freely. Similarly, the input and output fields, user configurable. Configuration changes are required, one needs to not more than five minutes.
Finally, PathFinder also be part of a network. The combination of several PathFinder 350S systems or by a combination with the PathFinder 900 can even create enterprise-wide solutions.
