Definition of nutrient media for POS 720/PTS
Special features:
• Easy-to-learn system operation
• Swift and simple configuration
• Transparent system status layout
• Efficient sample traceability
• Optimal archiving sample administration
• Plausibility check
• Completeness check
• Easy access to information on unidentified samples
• Comprehensive statistical functions
The program is available on a Windows-based touch panel PC which is an integral system component.As a user interface, it links both the user to the automation system and the automation system to the laboratory information system (LIS) or any middleware installed. Enabling easy visualization of system components, the software portrays internal sample transport paths, logistical transfer, the orientation and filling status of the carriers on the feeding and release platforms, as well as the current status of the functional modules.The configuration enables almost unlimited possibilities of parameter assignment to workstations, carriers, and tests, handling general and custom distribution rules as well as processing by order of precedence.Information on the sample processing status and orders can be easily retrieved, and empirical data compiled and printed. The information storage time on the database can be defined to customized requirements.Communication between the automation system and the LIS proceeds on an ASTM-based protocol either in the query or batch mode. Moreover, the system is suitably designed for use of additional interface protocols.

The SARSTEDT Product RangeConsumables for Laboratory Automation
Clinical Laboratories
S-Monovette® With automation advancing in clinical labs, the requirements for blood collection tubes have changed. The tubes must be designed to comply with a range of defined preconditions for sample identification using barcode readers, centrifugation, decapping and recapping, sorting, and sample transport in analyzer line pucks. The S-Monovette® 75 x 13 mm is ideally suited to meet these requirements and available with any preparation.
Aliquot tubes Depending on the application, aliquot tubes with 13 or 15 mm diameter are available with and without false bottom, and push or screw cap. If required, the tubes are automatically recapped. Screw cap tubes are ideal for long-term storage and transport.
Archiving push caps and screw caps
Archiving push caps for any tube diameter from 13 to 16 mm minimize the evaporation of sample material during storage. Tubes can be automatically capped and recapped if analyses need to be repeated.Screw caps are recommended for long-term storage and transport tubes.
Pipette tips A conductive black tip is generally used to dispense samples into aliquot tubes. The fill level is determined conductively and the tip immersed for pipetting. During the pipetting process, the tip descends as fill levels drop. The slim design enables pipetting from narrow tubes.
Racks The universal block rack made from polypropylene is highly resilient, stackable, and autoclavable. It is ideal for use as a carrier to individual workstations at sample distribution systems as well as for archiving. The double- or quadruple-block options, in particular, provide a space-saving solution for sample backup storage. Racks are available in a range of colors for easy identification at the workstation and in archives.
Microbiology
Petri dishes Made from crystal-clear polystyrene, our Petri dishes for use with hot agar are heat-resistant to 80°C. Thanks to their enhanced dimensional stability, they are particularly suited for all automated processing steps from labeling, stacking, streaking, and incubation, to automated analysis.
