Creating Powerful Automation Islands

Olympus announced to visitors at the Euromedlab conference the exciting range of connectivity options offered by the new AU-CONNECTOR. This compact system enables Olympus AU chemistry and immunoassay systems to be connected to each other in various combinations and uses Intelligent Sample Management to create powerful consolidated testing areas.
The AU-CONNECTOR has been designed in response to a range of demands within laboratories for workstation consolidation, faster sample transfer between instruments and wider testing capabilities on individual samples. Example combinations are two AU2700 Clinical Chemistry systems, two AU3000i Immunoassay systems or one of each.

The AU-CONNECTOR uses its Intelligent Sample Management and tube pre-sorting capabilities to keep all the analysers working at full potential. Racks with pre-sorted samples are transported to a large rack buffer zone on the sorter which guarantees continuous sample loading even during peak workload situations.
