Generic / Unbranded analyzer integration
SamLab ships driver profiles for 3 Generic / Unbranded models across biochemistry, hematology, connecting over ASTM, Serial, TCP/HL7. Finished results reach result entry matched to the sample by barcode — nothing is typed twice.
Supported Generic / Unbranded models
Every model below has a driver profile in the current SamLab build. If yours is a variant not listed, it very likely speaks the same protocol as its family — ask us and we will confirm it on a live connection.
- Generic fully-auto biochem (any unbranded Chinese unit)
- Generic 3-part CBC (any unbranded Chinese unit)
- Generic 3-part or 5-part CBC speaking HL7 v2.3.1
How a Generic / Unbranded analyzer connects
ASTM
ASTM E1381/E1394 records arrive over a serial cable or a TCP socket. SamLab acknowledges each frame and posts the results it carries.
Serial
A direct RS-232 link. Match baud rate, parity and stop bits to the analyzer; SamLab reads the stream and parses the result records.
TCP/HL7
The analyzer sends HL7 result messages over the lab network to SamLab’s listener. Set the SamLab PC’s IP and port in the analyzer’s LIS settings.
The link is one-way: the instrument sends results and SamLab receives them. SamLab does not send the worklist back to the analyzer, so nothing here can change what the machine runs.
Common questions
- Is my Generic / Unbranded model supported?
- If it appears in the list above, yes — the profile ships in the app. If it does not, tell us the exact model; most additions are a new profile rather than new code.
- Which cable or network setting do I need?
- It depends on the model: ASTM or Serial or TCP/HL7. The analyzer’s own LIS or “host” settings screen names the protocol it uses, and the matching section above says what SamLab expects.
- Does it need internet?
- No. The analyzer and the SamLab PC talk over a cable or the local network, so results keep arriving through an internet outage.
