Welcometo the team!

The automation solution for your workflow is just as
personalised as your laboratory and your day-to-dayrequirements and challenges.
Every laboratory has to face new conditions and ask itself
the following questions:■ How do we want to deal with limited resources?
■ Which simple work processes can be automated andtherefore optimised?
■ What sample throughput will this allow us to achieve?
■ Which functions are absolutely necessary for us?
■ Comparing this with our current situation: which analysis
devices do we use and how much space do we have in
our laboratory?
The modular design of the HSS (High Speed Sorter) fromSARSTEDT offers you the opportunity to create a solution
precisely tailored to suit your needs.
Let’s talk about your preanalytics workflow.

Employee of the Month ///  SARSTEDT 5■ Modular customisation to suit the individual requirementsof your laboratory environment■ Space efficient – optimal use of the available floorspace(can be positioned close to walls)■ Tailor-made platform layouts – tailored to youranalysis devices

Automate your pre-analytics■ Sample loading

Choose the optimal configuration
for your laboratory■ Connection to a sample transportsystem (e.g. Tempus600®)

With the HSS system, SARSTEDT offers you customer-specificcustomisable automation solutions for your pre-analytics.

■ Centrifugation status determination■ Sample identification■ Decapping■ Aliquoting■ Recapping

Take the strain off your employees
The HSS system allows relatively simple tasks and non-value
creating activities, such as inserting and pre-sorting samples
or opening and closing sample tubes, to be efficientlyautomated. This saves work for your employees who are(over)qualified for these tasks.

■ Sorting■ Distributing

Optimise your processes■ Transfer to analysis platforms

Heavy competition and cost pressure as well as limited
personnel capacity means automating pre-analyticallaboratory processes is particularly effective.

■ Archiving■ NEW: Sample transportwith Tempus600®

More than the sumof its parts
Plug & Play: Automated pre- and post-analytics
with the HSS modular system

Bulk Loader module (BL)

Decapper module (DC)

Recapper module (RC)

Closed sample tubes are loaded
manually into racks or automaticallyinto chutes (Tempus600®) without
pre-sorting or insertion.

The Decapper removes screwcaps and stoppers from various
manufacturers – no pre-sorting,no cross-contamination.

The Recapper is available in 3 versions:
it closes sample tubes with a diameterof 13 to 16 mm using a universal
stopper, thus preventing evaporation.
Alternatively, SARSTEDT tubes with adiameter of 13 to 15 mm are closed withthe appropriate screw cap for transportor long-term archiving.

The Bulk Loader has an integrated ID
module for identifying samples anddetermining their centrifugation status(Gel-Check).
Automatic sample loading into the chutehas also been integrated.

Input/Output module (IO)
The IO module allows open or closed
sample tubes to be introduced into orejected from the rack.
The platform layout is created specificallyfor each laboratory and, with its adapter
plates (SARSTEDT FlexPlates), can bevariably adjusted (e.g. to switch between
routine and archive operation).
Up to two Tempus600® sending units canbe optionally integrated into the module.
This allows tubes to be sent to different
areas of the laboratory. There is no need tomanually transport the tubes.

Identification
module (ID)Sort Connectmodule (SC)The ID module identifies
sample tubes from the barcode,
determines the tube type (capcolour, shape and geometry)and establishes the centrifugation status (Gel-Check).

The Sort Connect module allows
the HSS to be connected to an
analysis platform (no need tomanually transfer individualtubes or tubes in a rack).

Even more efficient
together:®
HSS and Tempus600
Straight from the ward to the laboratory.
With Tempus600® you accelerate specimen transport, thus
reducing the total turnaround time (ToTAT) for clinicalspecimens and optimise the entire pre-analytical workflow.
This allows faster decisions to be made and can lead to better
treatment of the patient.
Tempus600® reduces the gap from laboratory to ward.

Gain with Tempus600®
■ Save valuable time for your personnel with simple, direct
sample transport and take the strain off existing transportation systems■ Use the potential of your HSS system even more efficiently■ Take the next step towards laboratory automation
