Panther - Model Trax - Molecular Diagnostic System Physically Connected

Labor savings

• Automatically sorts/routes samples with single or multiple test orders, allowing increased test volumes without adding more staff

• Decapper, recapper and centrifuge† for plasma and serum tubes provide labor-free preanalytical processing refrigerated sample storage onboard, eliminates manual archiving and stockpiling

 Time savings

• Multi tube sorting criteria allow searching/retrieving samples from storage for removal or downstream testing

• Auto re-test invalid, reflex or add-on test orders from storage to improve turnaround time by removing human variability and touch points

• Intelligent, test-driven tube routing is responsive to system conditions (e.g., onboard reagents, flags and instrument availability) providing more consistent and predictable turnaround time

• Monitor open test orders sent from LIS to ensure all samples are tested by the end of the shift/day

• Trace the status and location of open test orders to promptly respond to client requests/inquiries

Cost savings

• Centralized location for loading samples minimizes manual routing/sorting, reducing operator errors

• Flexible track configurations minimize infrastructure changes and added costs associated with installation

• Samples are routed with penetrable caps and pulled into the Panther system for pipetting, reducing contamination risks

• Sample-to-storage automation allows reallocation of staff to more value-added tasks
