The device works with primary bar-coded test tubes, blood type and Rhesus factor are identified and alloimmune antibodies screened on gel cards, each having unique bar-code, so in the process of tests unique test tube bar-code is associated with unique card code, which excludes errors at analytical stage.
The device is integrated into Laboratory Data System (LDS), which allows to input test results automatically. Device productivity is about 50 tests per hour.
