The next generation of robotic tube
handling
BioMicroLab, robotics automation supplier for life science laboratories, announces the launch of the next generation of its popular benchtop tube sorting systems, the XL100 vial handling system
The new XL100 vial handling system features robotic handling capabilities for expanded sizes of tubes and vials, 1D labeled barcode decoding, 2D marked barcode decoding, and an integrated four-place balance for weighing applications Future modular capabilities of the XL100 will include; screwcap capper/decapper, integrated thermal blocks for frozen sample sorting, five-place balance for weighing applications, and a robotic dispensing station for liquid handling applications

Tube handler also sorts and weighs
Bench top robotics platform sorts and rearrays 0.5ml to 1.4ml tubes in 96 tube rack, and features an integrated 2D scanner for tracking marked tubes and an analytical balance option for weighing tubes
High-speed reader handles 2D barcodes
The new SampleScan High Speed complements BioMicroLab's existing line of 2D barcode decoding instruments with a new high throughput scanning option
Like BioMicroLab's popular XL20 tube handling instrument, the XL100 vial handling instrument is a robust benchtop vial and tube handling system that delivers the speed and precision of much larger and more expense automation platforms.
The XL100 will handle a wider variety of tube and vial sizes including 1ml to 16ml volumes.
It features an intelligent pick head allowing end-users unique flexibility when changing between tube and vial sizes.
The XL100 is powered by BioMicroLab's XL Work List Manager software interface.
This continues to provide operators with a simple to use software environment for of all XL20 and XL9 tube handling instrument installations and now will power the XL100.
As with all BioMicroLab products, IT development software tools will be available through an ActiveX developer's tool kit for labs that would like to integrate the XL100 robot with other laboratory Lims systems and robots.
BioMicroLab offers volume verification robots, robotic tube sorting, 2D tube scanning, and automated weighing instruments.
BioMicroLab's XL20 tube handling instruments automate sample management tasks including re-arraying, weighing, and cherry-picking of tubes, plus integrating 2D scanning technology for sample tracking during the sort and weigh processes.
The VolumeCheck instrument is used as a quality control tool for detecting sample volume in 12, 24, 48, and 96 well labware.
BioMicroLab's line of benchtop tube sorters, analytical balances and volume detection robots is designed to improve sample library management and productivity.
