SortPro Tube Sorter detects a wide range of special materials automatically and saves you time and money. Save time to evaluate, search and identify your samples with comprehensive analysis software. Above all, quickly deliver samples for analysis with the fastest and most reliable sorter available today.
SortPro Tube Sorter is the only tube sorter capable of assessing the correctness of the samples it handles and thereby minimizes erroneous diagnosis and downtime in analytics due to inaccurate tubes or sample IDs.
SortPro Tube Sorter uses artificial intelligence and advanced computing power to support the work in the accessioning area of your laboratory while remaining easy to operate.
TubeIdent, which is a high definition optical detection unit, is the basis of ASP SortPro’s intelligence, a huge leap forward from other solutions still relying on barcode readers and inaccurate spectrometers.

A threecolor LED-band above each target bin displays their respective fill level. Additionally, an e-ink display individually shows a description of which samples are going to that target according to the active sorting rule.
Feed in samples directly to priority area on the detection unit bypassing the conveyor belt to rapidly process urgent samples. Simultaneously, the device reports this prioritization to the LIS.
Easy-to-use interfaces enable rapid implementation for data exchange across different platforms.
Removing a target bin is possible at any time, because of the integrated sample buffers, SortPro runs continually without stopping, even if the staff removes a target bin to bring samples to their the next phase.
The sample inlet holds hundreds sample tubes. Additionally, laboratory staff can add new samples continuously. The device starts and stops automatically. The system transports the samples to the detection unit quickly and with minimal vibration.
TubeIdent enables the detection unit to distinguish samples by cap color, coding ring color (Sarstedt) and tube shape. We can detect up to 64 million unique shades of color, including striped color (tiger caps). We can distinguish length, thickness and shape of all commercially available tube types.
The ASP SortPro Tube Sorter processes up to 3,600 tubes per hour while identifying all visible features that laboratory staff normally use to identify sample tubes and assign them for further processing. Most importantly, these features are actively used as sorting criteria. For example, this includes the type of tube, manufacturer, centrifugation status or the complete removal of plunger for aspiration blood sampling systems (e.g. Sarstedt). SortPro recognizes much more than just barcodes and cap colors!
Teach in mode
New or updated container types are quickly and easily added/updated to the database by laboratory staff. Specifically, this is done by running a few samples of the new or updated sample type through SortPro Tube Sorter in teach-in mode. As soon as the bulksorter regonizes the sample, it becomes part of the sample type library. Nonetheless, saved sample types are very easy to update, for example, if cap colors undergo slight changes due to different pigment in production process.
