The Futurelab S2500 Tube Sorter can process and sort all types of primary tubes. Any cylindrical tube with a length of 76 - 120 mm and a diameter of 8 - 19 mm are easily handled by the machine.
Easy and continuous sample loading in bulk, with a capacity of up to 800 tubes. Depending on the tube size each target bin holds about 250 tubes.
The system works on a continuous flow basis without any interruptions. The device does not need to be stopped to load tubes.
The defined tubes are transported by a conveyor and then directed to the target drawer with the help of gates. Unidentified tubes are collected in the box at the end of the conveyor.
ldentification of tubes takes place through user-defined rules based on cap color (optional) and / or barcode information or rules transmitted by the LIS.
The Futurelab S2500 can handle up to 2500 tubes per hour and can easily handle blockages that occur during peak hours in the lab.
