Intelligent pre-analytical automation for modern laboratories
ATRAS SL and ATRAS CM are modular pre-analytical automation solutions designed to streamline and standardise sample handling in haematology, haemostasis, and cross-disciplinary BloodScience workflows.
Developed and manufactured by T&O LabSystems and integrated within the Sysmex automation ecosystem, these solutions support key pre-analytical steps including bulk loading, tube identification, intelligent sorting, centrifugation, and automated rack handling.
By reducing manual intervention and improving workflow consistency, ATRAS SL and ATRAS CM help laboratories achieve reliable, efficient, and high-throughput pre-analytical processing.
Two harmonised solutions for structured pre-analytical workflows
ATRAS SL provides automated bulk loading, tube registration, and intelligent sorting, enabling structured rack building and direct transfer into Sysmex haematology automation lines. This ensures reliable sample organisation and continuous workflow operation while reducing manual handling.
ATRAS CM extends automation by integrating sample identification, sorting, centrifugation, and automated rack handling within a single coordinated workflow. Samples are then transferred directly into Sysmex racks for downstream haemostasis and BloodScience automation. Automated empty rack return supports continuous operation, efficient rack management, and standardised sample processing, helping laboratories achieve greater workflow consistency and operational efficiency.
Both solutions integrate with Sysmex Extended IPU, providing workflow visibility across pre-analytical and analytical processes. This supports coordinated workflow management, greater operational transparency, and consistent process control within haematology, haemostasis, and BloodScience workflows.
Together, ATRAS SL and ATRAS CM help laboratories reduce manual steps, increase walk-away time, and maintain stable workflow performance across haematology and haemostasis environments.
Built on robust engineering principles and supported by flexible configurations, both solutions deliver many functional advantages of larger automation concepts within a compact footprint and cost-effective workflow automation approach — helping laboratories optimise throughput, improve quality consistency, and reduce total turnaround time.
