Sample to result

From sample collection to the final report.

Equipment decisions follow the sample journey, quality controls and reporting responsibilities.

  1. 01

    Collection

    Identify the patient and collect the correct specimen.

  2. 02

    Reception

    Register, accept and prioritize urgent samples.

  3. 03

    Pre-analysis

    Prepare, separate, store and route samples safely.

  4. 04

    Testing

    Run methods, controls and repeat rules.

  5. 05

    Review

    Validate flags and escalate abnormal findings.

  6. 06

    Report

    Release, communicate and retain results.

Design principle

Configuration design basis

Xentra Medical reviews the hospital’s clinical services, local disease profile, planned tests, sample volume, workforce, infrastructure, reagent supply, maintenance conditions and development goals before completing equipment selection, quantity planning and specialist-module combinations.

Clinical areaRepresentative systemPrimary purpose
01Performs complete blood counts with a three-part white-cell differential to support screening for anemia, infection and platelet abnormalities.
02Uses manual sample loading for glucose, liver and renal profiles, lipids, uric acid, proteins, routine enzymes and other clinical chemistry assays.
03Automates routine clinical chemistry to reduce manual pipetting and improve efficiency in low- to medium-volume laboratories.
04Measures sodium, potassium, chloride, ionized calcium and other major electrolytes to support fluid-balance and acid-base assessment.
05Performs routine PT, aPTT, TT and fibrinogen testing to support preoperative screening and coagulation assessment.
06Performs urine dipstick testing for protein, glucose, ketones, occult blood, leukocytes, nitrite, pH and other parameters.
07Supports manual review of blood films, malaria parasites, urine sediment, stool parasites, Gram stains and abnormal automated results.
Clinical areaRepresentative systemPrimary purpose
01Performs complete blood counts with a five-part white-cell differential to support assessment of anemia, infection, inflammation and platelet abnormalities.
02Performs routine liver, renal, glucose, lipid, protein and enzyme assays together with sodium, potassium, chloride and other electrolyte testing.
03Automates routine coagulation assays and supported tests such as D-dimer to help assess bleeding, thrombosis and anticoagulant therapy.
04Rapidly measures pH, pCO₂, pO₂ and major electrolytes; selected configurations also measure glucose, lactate and other parameters.
05Performs immunoassays for thyroid and reproductive hormones, cardiac and inflammatory markers, tumor markers, infectious-disease serology and other supported tests.
06Automates urine chemistry and formed-element sediment analysis to improve efficiency and standardization.
07Supports manual review of blood films, malaria parasites, urine sediment, stool parasites, Gram stains and abnormal automated results.

PROFESSIONAL MODULES

Professional extension modules are selected according to the hospital's disease profile, sample volume, clinical needs, staffing and biosafety conditions.

HbA1c analysis

Supports diabetes diagnosis and long-term assessment of glycemic control.

ELISA testing

Uses a microplate reader and washer where local testing policy still requires batch immunoassay or infectious-disease testing by ELISA.

Clinical microbiology

Adds automated blood culture and microbial identification and antimicrobial-susceptibility analysis according to sample volume.

Clinical areaRepresentative systemPrimary purpose
01Processes complete blood counts and five-part differentials in volume, with automated loading, abnormal-result flags, reruns and STAT sample handling.
02Automates blood-film preparation, staining and digital scanning, with preclassification of abnormal cells for expert morphology review.
03Continuously processes high volumes of routine and extended chemistry assays, with automated loading, dilution, reruns, STAT handling and electrolyte testing.
04Continuously processes high volumes of coagulation and hemostasis assays with automated loading, reruns and STAT sample handling.
05Continuously processes high immunoassay volumes with continuous sample and reagent loading, STAT handling and automated reruns.
06Rapidly measures pH, pCO₂, pO₂ and major electrolytes; selected configurations also measure glucose, lactate and other parameters.
07Measures HbA1c by high-performance liquid chromatography to support diabetes care and long-term glycemic assessment, with the ability to flag selected hemoglobin variants.
08Supports screening and characterization of sickle cell disease, thalassemia and other hemoglobin disorders.
09Measures immunoglobulins, complement, inflammation-related proteins and other specific proteins supported by the platform.
10Integrates urine chemistry, sediment analysis, automated loading, image review and reruns of abnormal samples.
11Continuously incubates and monitors blood-culture bottles, automatically flagging positive results to support early diagnosis of bloodstream infection and sepsis.
12Identifies cultured isolates and tests antimicrobial susceptibility to inform infection treatment and antimicrobial-resistance surveillance.
13Rapidly identifies pure cultured colonies, shortening identification time for common bacteria and fungi.
14Processes sample lysis, nucleic-acid binding, washing and elution in batches, improving consistency, efficiency and traceability before molecular testing.
15Runs approved and validated qualitative or quantitative pathogen assays, including applicable tests for HIV, viral hepatitis, tuberculosis and respiratory pathogens.
16Automates sample preparation, nucleic-acid extraction, amplification and result analysis within a closed cartridge from sample input to reportable result.
