Blood fractionation and Buffy-coat extraction are a labor intensive task performed for Biobanking as well as various other research and diagnostics applications.

SciRobotics TubeEye™ is a tube imaging and analysis add-on for the Tecan Freedom EVO® with PosID3®. It enables automated and fast blood fractionation such as plasma extraction or buffy-coat separation. The module attaches a camera directly to the EVO PosID3® module and works with standard Tecan tube racks. Flexible analysis software calculates the volume and height of each fraction which are used by the robot to perform tasks such as plasma aliquoting and buffy coat extraction.
