IDS-CLAS X-10
The IDS-CLAS X-10 delivers high-speed sample processing, capable of managing up to 4,000 tubes per hour.
Ensuring continuous operation and long-term reliability, the IDS-CLAS X-10 is engineered to maintain peak performance even under continuous high-volume demands and being able to withstand system overloading without compromising efficiency.
Every sample that enters the laboratory automation system is loaded onto RFID-tagged sample carriers, allowing laboratories to efficiently monitor, retrieve, and review samples at any stage of the workflow.
The connecting transport track of IDS-CLAS X-10 has a double-decker conveyor system, which enables laboratories to automatically processes samples requiring re-runs.
Using an integrated elevator system, samples move to the lower tier for re-routing and return to the upper tier for re-testing—all without increasing the system’s footprint or extending turnaround time.
* The IDS-CLAS X-10 Series is currently in development phase. Features and specifications are subject to change.
Ascending Sample Carrier Elevator
Transports sample carriers from lower-tier to the upper-tier .
Bulk Loader
Designed to handle high volumes of incoming samples, the bulk loader accommodates multiple samples of different tube sizes to be loaded/poured through the top opening as needed.
- Loading capacity up to 800 tubes
- Throughput up to 4000 tubes/hour
- The track supports redundant modules for increased sample volume.
Inlet
Links information of samples arriving from the Bulk Loader & Inlet via RFID tag on the sample carrier. Manages multiple tube sizes.
Features
- 8 x IDS 50-tube racks
- Loading capacity: 400 samples
- Transfers sample from rack to track system via individual sample carriers
- The track supports redundant modules for increased sample volume.
Decapper Module
Caps of sample tubes are removed by a rotational mechanism, which gets directly discarded into the internal bio-hazard container. Minimizing aerosol exposure and ensuring lab biosafety.
- Rubber stopper
- Plastic stoppers
- Twist/screw caps
The track supports redundant modules for increased sample volume.
High-Speed Merging Lane
Merges incoming samples from Bulk Loader,Inlet and Re-run (from bottom track).
Equipped with ascending elevator mechanism to return rerun samples back to the upper main lane.
High-Speed Sorting Lane
Samples are sorted into multiple lanes based on the sample information received.
Sorts and routes samples based on priority, discipline, centrifugation or/and direct to analyzer(s) or storage.
Analyzer Connection(s)
IDS-CLAS X-10 support analyzer connections on both sides of the track system, significantly reducing sample travel time to the analyzers. The track supports redundant modules.
Rack or Tube-builder Connections
IDS can develop appropriate automated transfer arms designed to unload samples from sample tube carriers and place them into your laboratory analyzer racks.
Point-in-Space (Direct Track Sampling) Connections
For analyzers that are capable of direct-track sampling from primary tubes or aliquots while they remain on IDS sample transportation track.
IDS is able to manufacture direct track sampling connections that fits and facilitates efficient sample transfer depending on your laboratory analyzers type/make.
- The track supports redundant modules for increased sample volume
Recapper Module
Placing plastic rubber caps on primary sample tubes and secondary tubes before routing them to the Storage Module. Ensures secure sealing, preventing contamination and preserving sample integrity during storage and transport.
Minimizing operator contact for improved safety
- The track supports redundant modules for increased sample volume
Outlet Module
Removes samples from Automation Line and loads them into outlet rack for further sorting or archiving. Automated sample retrieval from outlet for additional testing or re-runs.
The rack sorting configuration can be categorized to allow laboratories organize samples based on specific their needs.
- 8 x IDS 50-tube racks
- Loading capacity: 400 samples
- Throughput up to 1000 tubes/hour
- Track supports redundant modules
Higher Throughput Model is Available
- Additional mechanical arm can be added to expedite unloading throughput compared to a single arm outlet.
- Throughput: Up to 2000 tubes/hr
10K Sample Vault
High capacity and high-density storage module that stores up to 10080 (10K) sample tubes.
Automated sample retrieval for additional testing or re-runs. Streamlining sample traceability and minimizing manual handling.
- Track supports redundant modules
- Available in ambient or refrigerated models
- Temperature settings: 2 to 10°C
- Throughput : 1200 samples/hour
- Optional automated sample disposal available
Descending Elevator
Archived or re-run samples from storage together with other empty sample carriers are transported to the lower-tier and sent to the respective destination.
The TLA System includes but also is not limited to the following modules seen above which are all connected via IDS connection track.
