analyzer An instrument that performs all sample-processing activities from sample aspiration
to final result reporting.
bar code label A unique identifier that contains black bars that represent the sample information.
biological hazard An activity or an area where the operator may be exposed to potentially infectious
material.
CAR A sample transport vehicle that runs on an intermodular track system.
circle An area of the track layout that is used to limit the CARs, which can move at the same

control system Software composed of the laboratory information system, including middleware, the
Track Sample Manager, and the Track Workflow Manager.
diagnostic procedure A procedure that can be used to confirm the status of assemblies and mechanisms to
help identify and resolve operational problems.
discipline A grouping of preanalytical and postanalytical modules to ensure that samples remain
in certain track areas. Disciplines are used to assign common modules such as Aliquot
Module and error areas to a certain location within the laboratory.
FlexRack An accessory that is used in the RackPorts and can be configured as an input or output
area on a customer-specific basis. One FlexRack can hold 25 sample tubes with a tube
diameter of 10.5 mm to 18 mm.
GLP systems Track A modular laboratory automation system designed to automate preanalytical and
postanalytical processing, including sample handling, in order to automate sample
processing in clinical laboratories. The system consolidates multiple analytical
instruments into a unified workflow.
Input/Output Module The central module for the input and output of sample tubes on the laboratory
automation system. In addition, areas of the drawers can be configured as an archive
or for loading and unloading racks.
