The Sorting and Archiving configuration is best suited to labs with a high workload during routine hours with low to medium complexity order profiles and sample workflow. It's also great for labs with archiving and/or sorting needs.

The XN-9100 consists of up to ten XN modules that you can tailor to your own laboratory needs. Sorting & Archiving is a flexible configuration. It consists of XN analysis modules, our SP-50 slide maker/stainer, the DI-60 digital imaging module and the TS-10 tube sorter at the end. It optimises workflows from cell counting via smear preparation to morphology analysis and sorts EDTA tubes intelligently as you need.

It can analyse both routine haematology testing and specialty samples depending on the clinical value applications on your analysis modules.

Samples that need a smear are processed automatically by the slide-maker/stainer, followed by digital imaging. Smears are of excellent quality and consistency

even with highly pathological samples
thanks to the use of an adaptive smear technique and RAL classic staining reagents,

Smears are only initiated if they offer additional diagnostic value – the analysis profile is extended automatically to include smear-making/staining and morphology analysis. You can also order it up front.

The tube sorter reduces turnaround time and manual sample handling significantly. After analysis, it rapidly delivers pre-sorted tubes for subsequent, dedicated work areas and tests such as HbA_1c*, erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR*) or blood group testing.
To make best use of your space or when the available space is not enough for a linear set-up, alternative designs can be installed: Inner-L, Outer-L, Inner-U, Outer-U, Z
