TIGRIS® DTS™ System

Absolute Automation Is True Walk-Away Freedom for:

■ Sample Preparation
■ Sample Processing
■ Results Analysis

Only the TIGRIS® DTS™ System, with Absolute Automation, automates all phases of molecular diagnostics testing from sample preparation, amplification, and detection to reporting results. Integrating the TIGRIS DTS System with APTIMA® assay kits for nucleic acid testing (NAT) offers true freedom from hands-on processing.


Sample Preparation Freedom

■ Direct tube sampling (DTS)
■ No cap removal
■ Patient primary tubes are loaded directly on the TIGRIS DTS System
■ True positive sample identification
■ Random specimen loading
■ Worklists are created automatically
■ No need to sort patient samples in any order
■ No manual pipetting required


Sample Processing Freedom

■ Process control
■ Liquid Level Sensing confirms adequate sample and reagent levels
■ Urine and swab specimens are processed simultaneously
■ One integrated system
■ No manual transfers from processing modules to detectors
■ Walk-away simplicity equals hours of freedom


Results Analysis Freedom

■ Results are automatically linked to reagent lot numbers
■ Positive specimen results are sorted and identified for follow-up
■ Results are automatically sent to a Laboratory Information System (LIS)
■ Control Report trends performance
