Siemens Healthcare Diagnostics’ VersaCell X3 solution helps labs achieve the workflow benefits of automation without the space or budget considerations of a track-based solution.
The platform connects up to three Siemens analyzers through one robotic sample interface, thus increasing productivity. By supporting a customized mix of chemistry, immunoassay, and/or integrated systems and associated assay menus, the VersaCell X3 solution helps labs reduce operator sample handling, prioritize staff work, and eliminate pre- and postanalytical processing—all through one-touch sample management.
A priority drawer on the solution, located above existing routine sample drawers, provides eight new stat positions and frees up 50 sample positions for routine processing, enhancing stat management and increasing overall sample routing flexibility. A robotic arm enables the solution to support rounded and flat-bottom tubes, and a docking plate reduces service intervention time for all connected systems, increasing uptime.
A centralized screen on the VersaCell X3 solution provides consolidated, single-operator access to all connected analyzers, and further data consolidation is achievable through a connection to Siemens’ CentraLink data-management system.
