• The Bulk Input Module (BIM) provides a point of sample tube input, barcode tube identification and tube
type identification (if equipped with Lateral Vision System). It allows direct loading onto the track of capped
sample tubes without using racks.
• Accepts unspun, capped samples. The use of pre-spun sample tubes in the BIM is not recommended.
• If pre-spun sample tubes are used in the BIM the following applies:
o The User must verify the suitability and performance of each tube for the intended application.
o Further, if pre-spun sample tubes are loaded into the BIM, it is recommended that only serum-
separating tubes with gel separator are used. Refer to sample tube package inserts from respective
tube manufacturer for specific guidance on sample handling and processing.
o One of the following conditions must be met:
 A centrifuge module is not present on the Automation System
 Pre-spun tube barcodes have a different prefix on order to distinguish them from unspun
tubes.

than 4 secondary sample tubes are needed from a single primary sample tube, the primary tube is routed to
the Aliquoter Module more than once until all secondary sample tubes are generated.
• Secondary tubes labels are resistant to storing temperature up to -80° C for 4 weeks
• Users should inspect secondary sample tubes for filling and recapping prior to transport.
• The Aliquoter Secondary Tube is made from a medical grade polypropylene (PP). An evaluation of all
potential analytical applications for samples processed with this tube has not been performed. Therefore it is
recommended that the laboratory verifies the suitability of the tube for each intended application.
