Because efficiency starts at sample reception
ATRAS R4 Base Unit
The ATRAS R4 Base Unit* provides an efficient and reliable entry point for laboratory samples through fully automated sample registration and sorting. Reduce manual workload, improve efficiency with intuitive and easy operation, and benefit from the low maintenance requirements shared across the ATRAS product family.
Thanks to its modular architecture, the system grows according to your laboratory's needs. Expand the ATRAS Base Unit by further Bulk Output modules, CSpin, Racksorter, and/or InTrac whenever required, and configure your sample reception area exactly the way it fits your laboratory.

Make the ATRAS your ATRAS
Build your ATRAS with the ATRAS modular system.
ATRAS Base Unit:
So simple, it speaks for itself.
No fuss: Just thoughtful engineering
Daily work in the laboratory is demanding – new systems should support, not add complexity. The ATRAS Base Unit is intuitive, transparent, and easy to operate: every sample can be tracked at any time, and intervention is possible immediately.
A simple example shows just how easy it is to use: during an open house, the eight-year-old son of a laboratory manager operated the ATRAS throughout the day – loading samples at the front, collecting them at the output and feeding them back into the system.
The laboratory manager’s response: “If my child can use this without any instruction, it’s going to make a real difference in the lab – especially when things get busy and time is tight.”
The ATRAS Base Unit singulates, registers and sorts up to 3,000 samples per hour.
This creates a straightforward, transparent and efficient sample receipt process – with precisely engineered technology that that is intuitive and genuinely enjoyable to use.
Every laboratory is unique – that's why we created ATRAS as a modular solution. You select exactly the features your laboratory truly needs.
Cap color recognition can be precisely configured to your current sample setup and easily expanded at any time – for example when new cap colors are introduced or your color spectrum changes.
With its integrated STAT input, ATRAS automatically prioritizes emergency samples. Insufficiently filled aspiration samples are detected, and centrifugation status is reliably verified. In addition, you can define individual sorting rules tailored to your requirements.
This allows you to build your system step by step and expand it whenever needed – with additional Bulk Output modules, Racksorter and/or CSpin, as well as InTrac for continuous sample transport.
You remain independent, flexible, and in full control of your pre-analytics – adapting it to your current and future processes, not the other way around.

ATRAS – Automation you can rely on.
Precise sorting, transparent processes, it simply works
In the lab, consistency is key: The ATRAS Base Unit works quietly in the background, sorts with precision, and keeps your process running reliably – hour after hour, day after day.
It relieves your team of routine tasks, reduces potential errors, and frees up time for what really matters: the quality of your results.
Even with fluctuating sample volumes or unexpected emergency samples, your workflow remains stable and efficient. Thanks to its transparent design, you always have full visibility and can intervene easily whenever needed – making laboratory automation predictable, reliable, and efficient.
