TCAutomation™ Laboratory Automation Solutions (Thermo Scientific™)

Improve safety and efficiency in various types of clinical laboratories with Thermo Scientific™ TCAutomation™ Laboratory Automation Solutions. This expandable and scalable, fully-featured laboratory automation solution allows labor-intensive tasks in pre- and post-analytical phases of sample management to be automated in different combinations. Depending on the floor plan and efficiency requirements, the TCAutomation systems can be expanded step-by-step.

Key Features

TCAutomation™ systems throughput can range from 250 up to 1000 tubes per hour. Because solutions are modular, they are easy to expand. Automating can be started from a certain function and built up towards total laboratory automation. Samples are transported in the system within dual-lane conveyors in a multitube carrier which accommodates several tube sizes. The carrier includes an embedded microchip, based on RFID technology, making sample identification fast and reliable, and enabling excellent real-time sample tracking possibilities.

Contains:

Entry Modules for high-volume automatic sample loading in user-specified racks
Centrifuge Module for automatic and continuous centrifugation of samples
Decapper Flex Module for automatic cap removal from different types and sizes of primary tubes
Aliquoter/Labeler Module for automatic sample aliquoting to secondary tubes with user-defined rules. Disposable tips are used. Secondary tubes are labelled automatically with the primary tube ID according to user-definable fields.
Recapper Module for automatic capping of different types and sizes of primary tubes
Exit and Sorting Modules for high volume sample exit. Excellent sample sorting capabilities to different kinds of racks. Includes sample archiving capabilities.
Control Unit, easy-to-navigate user interface for control over the whole automation system. Route definition is simple and gives flexibility to optimize the workflow
Analyzer Interfaces, several analyzer connections which can be either point-of-space or robotic interfaces. Wide selection of analyzers from different manufacturers is supported
Cold Storage refrigerated storage system from which samples can be automatically retrieved back to the track or discharged.
