CO2 incubator provides total contamination control
Thermo Forma announces the new Steri-Cycle CO2 incubator with an exclusive combination of continuous contamination control and on-demand contamination elimination
The included instrumentation and software enable complete sample preparation and scheduled analysis with maximum flexibility.
The speed and dexterity of the HCS WorkCell, combined with the vertical integration, yield maximum throughput compared to traditional automation.
Incorporating web services capabilities, the HCS WorkCell also allows for easy configuration for sample tracking and data export to Lims.
The HCS WorkCell can be utilised with Thermo's Orchestrator software, offering a powerful workflow optimisation tool that can significantly improve laboratory operations.
Orchestrator is unique software with the added ability to connect the flow of information from automation scheduling software to a Lims database.
This enables researchers to gather, analyse and use essential data more effectively.
Versatile and easy-to-use the Orchestrator software is available through Thermo for use on its WorkCell platforms.
The new HCS WorkCell will be showcased at Thermo's booth at the Association for Laboratory Automation's (ALA) LabAutomation2006 event, 21-26 January 2006 at the Palm Springs Convention Center, Palm Springs, CA.
