Automated Double Centrifuge Module EC2™

Automated centrifugation as part of complete automation. Ideal for large hospitals or reference laboratories
 
The Double Centrifuge Module EC2 works rackwise and forms a perfect completion of the front-end automation process. The loading area consists of a tray with 5 position racks and a loading capacity of up to 150 tubes. Different tubes in a rack will be identified through Tube Type Identification via Cap Recognition by a camera. After detection, the racks will be selected and loaded onto the sorting platform. The EC2 Module loads the buckets automatically into the centrifuges and unloads after centrifugation. Racks that do not need to be centrifuged are passed on to the next connected system. Centrifugation will start either with full batch or after expiration of the time counter. For a run with an odd number of rack batches, dummy racks have to be loaded in order to balance the load. A STAT compartment is available for 30 tubes with priority. As soon as the samples are centrifuged, the system unloads the centrifuges and the tubes will be transported to a connected system (RSD Pro, RSA Pro or ProV). Unnecessary delays between centrifugation runs will be completely eliminated. The Centrifuge Module EC2 has a maximum throughput of up to 600 samples per hour.
