Hamilton easyBlood is a blood fractionating machine that automatically fractionates blood components like plasma, buffy coat, and RBCs and creates their aliquots. It can process up to 144 primary samples at once. Thus, it is used in high throughput labs were hundreds of samples get processed and aliquoted every day.

Integration with OpenSpecimen

Whenever the samples are processed by easyBlood, it creates a CSV file that contains information like date/time, sample type, barcode, quantity, error message, etc. This CSV file can then be imported to OpenSpecimen via the bulk import feature and the aliquots along with the annotations get created in OpenSpecimen. 

For more details on how to import the CSV files to OpenSpecimen, refer to the following pages:
