Product Details
The Azenta Life Sciences SampleArc Flex is a highly customizable, flexible advanced automated sample management and storage system ensuring consistent temperature and data integrity. Ideal for efficiently managing sample inventories while minimizing temperature cycling, the SampleArc Flex supports storage temperatures ranging from room temperature to -20ºC.
With fully configurable modules, the SampleArc Flex accommodates various capacities, throughputs, and labware types. Its adaptable automation can handle tubes, vials, plates, acoustic tubes, SBS plates, cryoboxes, syringes, and more.
Available in various models, including space-efficient and dual temperature options (under the BioArc line), the SampleArc Flex can be tailored to your specific storage and capacity requirements. Contact us to discuss how the SampleArc Flex can meet your unique sample storage needs.
Key Features
Properties
- System sizing: A wide range of capacity options are available from 105,000 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
- Picking modules: Allow the SampleArc 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
- Efficiency: Samples can be physically grouped to separate types, projects, or frequency of access
- 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
- Automation Interface option: Provides a means of directly interfacing the store with an external automation system
Labware Flexibility
- Labware flexibility: SampleArc Flex handles the widest range of labware available in a single store, including SBS-format plates, tubes, and cryovials
- Acoustic tube capability: The SampleArc system picks Acoustic Sample Tube, which is Echo® Qualified
- High-density storage: Reformatting labware to proprietary HD storage racks can more than double storage capacity compared to SBS format storage
- Multi-pitch shelving: Optimized shelving pitch based on labware height ensures maximum storage density; a sample imaging module captures barcodes, labware type and heights to assure an optimal storage location
