Automatic sample preparation system ThinPrep® 5000

laboratorycellfor slide staining

With continuous, hands-free processing of the ThinPrep Pap test, ThinPrep Non-Gyn and ThinPrep UroCyte® samples with up to 45 minutes of walkaway time, the ThinPrep 5000 processor frees up operators so they can focus on other tasks. Walkaway Automation Carousels can be loaded at accessioning for ease of transportation. Up to 20 vials, slides and filters can be loaded at once – enabling walkaway time. Processed slides are racked and ready for staining, and output racks can be loaded directly into select stainers and coverslippers – offering workflow efficiencies. Ergonomic Benefits A user-friendly touch screen interface offers real-time progress tracking and reporting. Automated vial uncapping/capping reduces manual tasks. Minimal risk of repetitive strain injuries for operators. Chain-of-Custody Verification Sample vials and slides are loaded together in the carousel – maintaining chain of custody. Barcodes on the vials are automatically matched to the labels on the slides prior to processing – reducing the possibility of sample mismatch. Automated chain of custody eliminates manual checking and re-checking.
