• If the Aliquotter detects a clot during the transfer process, it returns the aspirated
sample volume to the primary sample tube. The system routes the primary and
secondary sample tubes to the Aliquot Error rack.
1. The Aliquotter moves the primary sample tube to the tip nozzles, and one of two
robotic arms lowers an aliquot tip into the primary sample tube.
2. The aliquot tip aspirates the total serum volume required to fill all the secondary
sample tubes.
3. The Aliquotter reads the bar code of each secondary tube and verifies it to be
associated with the primary sample tube. Then the aliquot tip dispenses the sample
into the secondary tubes.
4. The Aliquotter automatically discards used aliquot tips into a biohazard container.
5. The system then routes the primary and secondary sample tubes to the applicable
racks in the Outlets, storage, or connected analyzers.
