Slide and cassette sorting
You set the rack layout on screen. The system reads identifiers and sorts material into the selected locations.
Digital pathology and histopathology
Robotic sorting and archiving of pathology slides and cassettes.
Robotic post-analytical archiving: from the sorting workstation, through automated transport, to the digital LIS record.
An integrated system for automated sorting, safe transport, and long-term storage of microscope slides and histology cassettes. It replaces manual placement of slides and cassettes with full digital traceability, eliminating the risk of sample mix-ups and mechanical damage.
- Throughput
- 400 slides / h
- Vacuum gripper
- 0.00‰ slide breakage
- Manual handling
- 90% time reduction
- Integration
- Full LIS / PAS integration
How it works
Order at every stage.
Exception handling
Slides with an unreadable identifier are directed to a separate rack so the operator can complete the data.
Digital record
Scanning the rack assigns a cabinet location. Check-out and return update the record.
See it in action
From sorting to archive.
See how identifiers are read, slides and cassettes are handled, and their locations are recorded in the archive.
Workflow
Configure the layout
Set target locations in the workstation interface.
Start sorting
The system reads identifiers and distributes slides and cassettes into racks.
Transport to archive
Automated transport connects the sorting workstation to the archive. The rack code assigns the storage location.
Record check-outs and returns
Check-out and return of slides and cassettes remain visible in the system.
System
From workstation to archive.
The sorting workstation, automated transport, and digital record form one process. The system assigns an archive location and updates the record at check-out and return.
