A Bulksorter for your laboratory needs!
SortPro Tubesorter is the only tubesorter capable of assessing the correctness of the samples it handles and thereby minimizes erroneous diagnoses and downtime in analytics due to defective tubes or samples.

SortPro Tubesorter uses artificial intelligence and advanced computing power to support the work in the accessioning area of laboratories while remaining easily operated.

TubeIdent, which is a high definition optical detection unit, is the very base of ASP SortPro’s intelligence, meaning a huge leap forward regarding other solutions still relying on barcode readers and inaccurate spectrometers.

Barcode
1D up to 16 digits (2D upon request) Code 128, Codabar, Code 39/93, UPC A, Interleaved 2 of 5, EAN-13, Code 2 of 5, GS 1 DataBar Omnidirectional / Expanded / Limited
Target compartments with status display
A threecolor LED-band above each target bin displays their respective fill level. Additionally and individually, an e-ink display shows a description of which samples are going to that drawer according to the active sorting rule.
Priority input
Feed in samples directly to detection unit bypassing the conveyor belt to rapidly process urgent samples. Simultaneously, the device reports this special prioritization to the LIS.
Connectivity to other industry players*
Easy-to-use interfaces enables rapid implementation for data exchange across different platforms.
Hassle-free operation
Removing a target bin is possible at any time, because of the integrated sample buffers, SortPro runs non-stop, even if the staff removes a target bin to bring samples to their the next phase.
Bulk sample input
The sample inlet holds hundreds closed (capped) sample tubes. Additionally, laboratory staff put in new samples continuously. The device starts and stops automatically. The system transports the samples to the detector quickly and with low vibration.
TubeIdent
TubeIdent enables the detector unit to distinguish samples by cap color, coding ring color (Sarstedt) and tube shape. 64 million shades of color are detected, including color combinations (tiger caps). It distinguishes length, thickness and shape of all commercially available tube types.
Customization
Adjust destination target bins, sorting criteria and other specificities according to your needs.

The ASP SortPro Tubesorter processes up to 3,600 tubes per hour while identifying all visible features that laboratory staff normally use to identify sample tubes and assign them for further processing. Most importantly, these features are actively used as sorting criteria. For example, this includes the type of tube, manufacturer, centrifugation status or the complete removal of plunger for aspiration blood sampling systems (e.g. Sarstedt). SortPro recognizes much more than just barcodes and cap colors!

Optimize the workflow as you want with an easy implementation of SortPro Tubesorter in any medical laboratory environment

SortPro Bulksorter offer individual configuration possibilities for each laboratory environment. Consequently, it adapts to changing laboratory processes at any time!

Adaptable and easy to set-up sorting rules
Your laboratory staff can easily change SortPro Tubesorter’s sorting rules without the need of extra technical service!

Individual configuration
SortPro offers customization possibilities. For example, you can choose between 6 and 16 sorting destinations and adapt it with various aditional options to flawlessly support your laboratory.

Can be used in any laboratory process
SortPro is IVD, LIS and middleware independent. In other words, laboratories can combine it with any existing system. Additionally, SortPro processes all standard cylindrical sample containers.

Universal and future-proof detector unit
The optical detector unit can detect any visual coding and features of the samples with a 360° Scanner. Therefore, SortPro will detect any subsequent future changes in the features. Unlike other, this would require a simple and secure software update.

Teach in mode
New or updated container types are quickly and easily added/updated to the database by laboratory staff. Specifically, this is done by running a few samples of the new or updated sample type through SortPro Tubesorter in teach-in mode. As soon as the bulksorter regonizes the sample, it becomes part of the sample type library. Nonetheless, saved sample types are very easy to update, for example, if cap colors undergo slight changes due to different pigment in production process.

Low space and power requirements
SortPro basic unit is very compact, starting at 1.2 m (3.93 ft) wide and 0.6 m (1.96 ft) deep. It weighs only 120 kg (264,55 lb) and requires 250 W electrical load, therefore it is easily installed in any laboratory
