LabAutomation 2002 venue for new product launch
At the LabAutomation 2002 conference (23-26 January) in Palm Springs, USA, Micronic will focus on the latest products for sample storage, retrieval and liquid handling
New productivity enhancing features include the Sure-Shot contoured well top which provides positive tube lead-in (A1-H12) to increase throughput and decrease downtime.
Now any tubes not perfectly delivered to the desired vertical rack location will no longer cause jamming and instead will be positively guided into the correct well location.
An additional benefit of the contoured well shape is that it also offers improved access for robotic grippers to retreive tubes from storage.
To speed the process of heating to access deep frozen samples, or cooling of samples for storage, Micronic has incorporated a novel air flow system open rack architecture on the Robo-Rack that considerably reduces traditional freeze-thaw cycle times.
For manual storage and sample transportation the Robo-Rack comes fitted with a secure and lockable cover lid.
Robo-Rack can be used with all makes of coded sample storage tubes. Request a free brochure from Micronic ...
