Bulk Loader – An economical and safe solution for sample accessioning

• Ideal in combination with any analytical platform
• No sorting or handling required
• For all closed tubes of 75-120 mm length (with cap) and 11 - 19 mm Ø (with cap), also with false bottom
• Suited for any sample type (serum/plasma, serum gel/plasma gel, EDTA, citrate, blood sugar, urine)
• Integral ID module (barcode, cap color and shape, tube geometry)
• Gel-Check - two-stage process (camera and laser) for determining the centrifugation status of gel tubes
• Automated sample accessioning
• Customised sort rules to a variety of carrier types or bins
• Direct connection to analysis lines through the SORT CONNECT module

The innovative Bulk Loader revolutionises sample processing in the clinical laboratory. Just dump closed specimen tubes (e.g. the S-Monovette^®) into the bulk loader – no sorting or handling required. Tubes are automatically placed onto the processing track of the Bulk Loader. Then the sample is identified (barcode) and the tube type and centrifugation status detected. 

Samples can be distributed and sorted into centrifuge adapters, feeder/exit trays for laboratory lines, analyser racks, standard racks, archiving racks or directly to the laboratory line via the SORT CONNECT module.

Tubes are either distributed according to defined parameters or to samplerelated information received from the LIS (laboratory information system). Plausibility checks detect and sort out error samples.
