The AutoSorter 2000BB from Yaskawa Motoman is a high-speed bulk sorter for high-volume commercial laboratories. It provides maximum specimen throughput at up to 2,000 tubes/hr, minimizes manual handling of specimens through bulk loading/unloading, and reduces sequential sorting by fine sorting in one step.
The machine addresses other common requirements for high-volume commercial labs: bulk loading; wide range of container types and sizes; data connectivity and sorting to 24 bins with options for loading to racks or track. It utilizes the AutoSorter 1200 platform, and permits the use of a wide variety of specimen tube configurations and instrument racks. It may be used as a stand-alone workcell for specimen processing (AutoSorter 1200S), or it may be connected to a track system (AutoSorter 1200T) as part of an integrated pre-/post-analytic specimen processing system.
