  • Page 7: Chapter 1 System Overview

    Chapter 1 System Overview System Description Power Express is a scalable sample tube processing system that automates pre- analytical, analytical, and post-analytical processes in the clinical laboratory. You can configure Power Express to perform pre-analytical sample tube preparation, sort sample tubes directly to the required analyzers for analysis, and then route tubes to an outlet rack or to storage.
