PRODUCT SPECIFICATIONS TCAutomation System

Pre-analytical System

Each multitube carrier has an embedded microchip that carries the route code information. This unique feature minimizes the barcode reading thus presenting a lower error risk and at the same time offering excellent tracking possibilities.

After centrifugation and decapping, samples can be routed to exit modules to be sorted out into standard output, analyzer specific racks or storage racks. Samples requiring aliquoting are routed to the TCAutomation Aliquoter & Labeler where secondary tubes are prepared and aliquots dispensed.

The TCAutomation pre-analytical system can easily be expanded, e.g., with interfaces to different analysers.

Specifications for the configuration including ES Flex, Centrifugation and Decapper modules:

ThroughputApp. 400 tubes/h

DimensionsHeight 1900 mmWidth 3000 mmDepth 1500 mm

Unique expandable concept

Thermo Scientific™ TCAutomation™ Laboratory Automation System from Thermo Fisher Scientific is designed to meet the needs of clinical laboratories. The unique expandable concept offers effective automation solutions to both medium and larger laboratories.

TCAutomation system helps customers to manage increasing workloads, improve turn-around-time and ensure greater safety and quality in the workplace. The labour-intensive pre-analytical tasks such as centrifugation, decapping, sorting and aliquoting are automated. The system is easily expandable with additional modules, thus offering a smooth way to meet future needs.

The TCAutomation pre-analytical system offers flexible configurations to meet the specific needs of laboratory within the available space. One configuration can include several modules of the same type depending on laboratory’s workload.

In a pre-analytical system, samples can be loaded individually or in input racks. The sample’s barcode is read and a route query is made to the TCA Controller. The sample ID and route code (route to the next module) is written into the memory of the carrier, and after that the sample is released to the main conveyor. Samples move along the conveyor in these single tube carriers that can accommodate several different tube sizes.

Fully automated sample input and sorter module

TCAutomation ES Flex module is a fully automated sample input and sorter module. The module can sort tubes internally into analyzer or customer specific racks without releasing them into the main conveyor. Storage exit racks can be used as a validation area where samples can be retrieved, e.g., for additional testing.

The ES Flex module manages a wide mix of sample tubes detecting automatically if the tube has a cap or not. The robot unloads samples from the racks in carriers. Samples are released to the conveyor after the barcode is read. When the sample comes into the module, the robot loads the sample from the carrier to the rack. If the sample tube is requested back, the robot unloads the sample from the exit rack to the carrier, and the sample is released to the conveyor.

Each tray of the module is dedicated to a certain rack type. The rack type is written to the tray’s barcode which is read before operation.

Prepares secondary tubes and dispenses aliquots from a primary sample

TCAutomation Aliquoter & Labeler prepares secondary tubes and dispenses aliquots from a primary sample into these secondary tubes.

Required number of aliquots is made from samples which need aliquoting. The level and clot detection ensures optimum sample handling. In case there is not enough sample, both the primary tube and labelled secondary tubes are routed to the check module for manual handling. Disposable tips are used to avoid any sample contamination. After dispensing, secondary tubes and primary tube can be routed to different analysers’ bypasses or they can be sorted out.

Analyzer specific module to interface point-in-space aspirating instruments

TCAutomation Bypass is an analyzer specific module to interface instruments that are capable of direct track aspirating.

Tubes are routed to the specific bypass modules according to the route info related to the test requests. The tube is centred with a gripper on the aspirating position. After sampling, the tube is released to the main conveyor and can be routed, e.g., to the following analyzer bypass. The STAT sample handling is secured with a possibility to limit the routine sample queue size.

Many analyzers can easily be connected to the TCAutomation system. Combining two or more analyzers into one system offers increased analyzer throughput, higher efficiency and longer walk-away time.

Tube Capacity / ModuleMax 50 tubes in perpendicular bypass Max 30 tubes in parallel bypass

Analyzer-specific interfaces for analyzers requiring robotic transfer of a sample tube

Analyzer-specific TCAutomation interfaces are available for analyzers that require a robotic transfer of a sample tube.

A robotic module transfers tubes from carriers to analyzer specific racks. Racks are then moved into the analyzer. After sampling, tubes are transferred back to the interface where barcodes are read, tubes are unloaded from racks to carriers and routed forward on the automation track.

In the ARCHITECT interface modules, the automation system is used for sample handling and routing. The tube is centered with a gripper on the aspirating position. After sampling the tube is released to the conveyor.

In the Sysmex HST interface, TCA the samples stay after aspirating in the Sysmex system and they are not returned back to the automation track.

CCM and CRA Interface Modules

Connection interfaces into Roche automation systems

TCA Interface for CCM is interface module between Roche Automation pre-analytical and TCAutomation systems. TCA Interface for CCM picks sample tubes from racks received from Roche pre-analytical modules. The CCM module positions the sample tubes into sample carriers and reads sample barcodes, functioning as an entry module to the TCAutomation system.

The TCAutomation CRA (Connector to Roche Automation) Interface is a module that connects a TCAutomation system to a Roche Automation system. CRA Interface receives patient sample test tubes from Roche Automation System Cobas™ 8100 or CCM, moves the samples to analyzers connected to the TCAutomation system, and sends the tubes back to the Roche Automation system.

Storage area for empty carriers or for samples waiting for validation

TCAutomation Buffer functions either as a storage area for empty carriers or as location for samples waiting for validation.

Samples from different analyzer bypasses can be routed to a buffer to wait for the result acceptance and re-routing. Furthermore, empty carriers can be stored in the buffer module until another module, e.g., centrifuge requests carriers.
