1 --- Supporting arm assembly
The loading assembly is the entrance of the sample processing line. At most 20 tube racks
can be loaded to the loading assembly. The racks are loaded, scanned for barcodes, turned
and then sent to tracks, so that the samples can be analyzed by the analyzers. The loading
assembly allows you to prioritize STAT samples based on your needs by putting a tube rack
in front of all other racks.
The loading assembly consists of loading station, loading unit, pushing unit, direction change
unit, barcode scanner unit, key and indicator unit, ports unit, and display unit. See the
