IDS-Hr2
With a compact footprint of just 0.935 m², the IDS-CLAS Hr2 is a smart and space-efficient urine aliquot system engineered to standardize and automate the preparation of urine samples for both automated chemistry and sediment analysis.
Designed for laboratories seeking predictable turnaround times while minimizing direct operator exposure and manual handling, the IDS-Hr2 transforms urine processing into a controlled, traceable, and reproducible workflow.
The system intelligently selects between two secondary tube types, automatically preparing the correct tube type based on test requirements.
Each aliquot tube is precisely labeled and sorted onto the appropriate rack, ensuring accurate routing/transfer to its designated analyzer.
This streamlined preparation process reduces pre-analytical bottlenecks, errors and enables laboratories to move samples directly into testing with greater efficiency and confidence.
Whether deployed as a standalone workcell or integrated into a Total Laboratory Automation line, the IDS-CLAS Hr2 supports modular expansion and parallel configuration, allowing laboratories to increase throughput or introduce operational redundancy as testing demand grows.
The IDS-Hr2 is a smart and compact urine aliquotting system designed to automate the preparation of urine samples for both automated chemistry and sediment analysis.
By aliquoting urine directly from the patient’s collection cup, IDS-Hr2 has the mechanism to ensures accurate volume distribution, test-specific tube labeling, and efficient sample sorting.
Prior to aliquoting, automated mixing ensures sample homogeneity by minimizing sedimentation and concentration variability to support consistent, reproducible test results.
This enables laboratories to immediately transfer the prepared aliquotted samples to their respective analyzers for on-the-spot testing and analysis.
The IDS-Hr2 seamlessly integrates with the IDS Sample Transport System, enabling full automation of sample transfer to designated urine analyzers without any manual handling.

01. Urine Cup Inlet/Outlet Extension
With the capacity extension, the module accommodates more collection cups and facilitates the streamlined handling of completed samples for downstream analysis.
✅ Detects insufficient urine volume and alerts operators right away.
2. Urine Cup Loading Area (Main)
- Urine Cup is Loaded.
- Barcode is read to confirm arrival.
- Detects insufficient urine volume and alerts operators right away.
3. Secondary Tube & Labeling
- Depending on the test ordered specified tubes are fed to the labeling area.
- Prints barcode label and applies to each aliquot tube.
4. Cup Transfer
Discharges error or completed samples* to extended unit (if available). and notifies the operator with a melody
*Completed samples are kept, depending on sample disposal instructions.
4. Aspirating and Aliquoting
Urine Sample from collection cup is aliquotted to either round bottom (for chemistry analysis) or conical-shaped (for sediment analysis) tubes, depending on test ordered.
- Features IDS unique aliquot tip with an aspirating volume of 22ml. Enabling multiple aliquots from a single draw, minimizing delays in processing time.
- New disposable aliquot tips are fed for every sample
07. Urine Cup Auto-Disposal Area (At the back of the Processor. Not visible)
Completed collection cups are disposed separately from urine sample.
Urine sample drained into an internal tank and cups are disposed separately.
08. Outlet (for aliquot tubes)
Unloading and sorting of aliquot tubes on respective personality racks
8. Disposable Pipette Tip Feeder
Loading new disposal tips as needed without interrupting system operations
10. Conical-Bottom Tube Feeder
The system also features a single pull-out drawer containing dual independent supply channels that allows simultaneous loading of two different conical-bottom tube types.
09. Touch-Screen Control Monitor
Intuitive User Interface which requires less time to learn how to operate.
Product design and specifications are subject to change without notice.
2. Main & STAT Urine Cup Loading Area
- Urine cup placed directly on loading plate
- Detects insufficient urine volume and alerts operators right away with a melody
- Samples are scanned for
receipt and identification, then
accessioned
4. Cup Transfer*
Error or completed samples* are transferred to extended unit (if available), and notifies the operator with a melody
*Completed samples are kept, depending on sample disposal instructions.
1. Urine Collection Cup is placed on the loading plate and barcode is read to confirm sample arrival.
2. Test-specific secondary tubes are supplied and labels traceable to primary sample are applied.
3. Urine samples is aspirated from the primary cup and dispensed using a 22 mL disposable tip.
4. After aliquoting, the primary cup exits the queue and the operator is notified.
5. Aliquoted tubes are sorted in respective analyzer racks.
6. IDS-CLAS X-1 track system can be integrated to enable fully automated transport to connected analyzers.
7. Residual urine and cups are discarded per laboratory instructions.
8. Optional unit enables automated cup loading or unloading.
