Properties
- System sizing: a wide range of capacity options are available from 200,000 to over 22 million tubes dependent on labware
- Standard modules: standard modules include input/output, imaging, picking, etc. selected at point of order and/or upgraded later
- Labware flexibility and adaptability: handles the widest range of labware available in a single store, including SBS-format plates, tubes, cryovials
- Picking modules: allow the SampleStore™ System to be configured to handle your sample labware and meet your throughput requirements
- Sample security: provides secure user access login and maintains consistent storage temperatures
- High-density storage: reformatting labware to proprietary HD storage racks can more than double storage capacity compared to SBS format storage
- Multi-pitch shelving: dynamic storage shelving maximizes storage density; a sample imaging module captures barcodes, labware type and heights to assure an optimal storage location
- High throughput: dual-shuttle automation can double standard throughput rates, supporting pick rates of over 100,000 tubes in 24 hours
- Easy to use: no special expertise required to operate the system
- Acoustic tube capability: The SampleStore™ system picks Acoustic Sample Tube - Echo® Qualified Consumable
- Automation Interface option: provides a means of directly interfacing the store with an external automation system
