SMARTER SAMPLE TRACKING SOLUTIONS
INDEXOR USE CASE
STREAMLINE SAMPLE RECEPTION FOR IMPROVED EFFICIENCY
CHALLENGE
The sample reception process can be stressful and time-consuming due to the large volume of samples and the way they arrive from collection sites—often mixed together in bags or boxes. Sorting these samples consumes valuable lab space and adds complexity to workflows.
More critically, most labs rely on manual check-in and accessioning at the LIS, scanning samples one by one. This is one of the most labor-intensive pre-analytical tasks and directly impacts turnaround time and sample viability.
COMMON ISSUES
Samples arrive mixed and bagged, requiring manual sorting
No visibility into incoming sample details before arrival
Disorganized reception area consuming significant lab space
Manual LIS check-in slows down workflows and increases stress
HOW INDEXOR HELPS
Indexor automates and organizes sample reception to reduce manual steps and improve efficiency:
• Automated Sample Check-In:
Samples scanned and stored in iRacks at collection sites; upon arrival, racks are placed in Indexor for instant LIS check-in and accessioning
• High Capacity Processing:
Each iRack holds up to 60 samples, and Indexor can process up to 8 racks simultaneously—up to 480 samples in one step
• Integrated LIS Workflow:
Accessioning and check-in combined into a single automated process
• Sample Location Search:
Enter a sample ID to trigger an LED indicator on the iRack for quick retrieval
• Data Analytics:
Web-based dashboard provides insights into transport logistics, turnaround times, and quality indicators
