August 2021—Sarstedt introduced its BL 1200 Sort Connect, a preanalytical accessioning and sorting instrument that can be connected to integrated systems or analyzer lines. The unit features a bulk loader that requires no sorting or handling. Multiple tube sizes are accepted and barcodes are identified via the ID module.
Based on customized sort and distribution rules, tubes are placed into targeted analyzer racks and a robot arm transfers them to the laboratory line. Partially filled racks are automatically completed with balancing tubes for centrifugation. Samples not destined for the laboratory line are placed into racks or bins for manual extraction. Up to 1,200 tubes can be processed per hour.
