Array sample tubes in 48-, 96-, or 384-format racks quickly and easily for optimal downstream sample processing. Compatible with applications that require sample handling down to -20°C, the Thermo Scientific™ SampleArray™ instrument can transport individual tubes without thawing precious samples. A valuable add-on to the Thermo Scientific™ SampleSeal™ tube sealer or Thermo Scientific™ Capit All™ capper, the SampleArray instrument completes a secure sealing and arraying process that can benefit a range of sample storage and handling requirements.
Rapid and reliable arraying for your precious samples
Reconfigure or cherry pick sample tubes for downstream processes at room temperature or in a cold environment down to -20°C
Create work lists, set quarantine conditions, and run parameters that meet end users' specific requirements using the simple software interface
Intuitive software interface
Allows creation of arraying procedures directly in the software or can be configured to use worklist files from external database systems
Includes flexibility and input parameters meeting the needs of simple or complex arraying procedures
Integrated 2D barcode reader
Confirms the correct sample tubes are selected during the arraying process
Provides traceability for information transfer to database and LIMS systems
Includes simple plugin options for use with linear barcode readers to identify sample racks placed on the instrument and execute programs
Weigh module accessory
Supports monitoring sample mass and volume
Enables setting quarantine parameters for use in sample management and downstream laboratory procedures
System approach
A perfect add-on to the SampleSeal sealer, the SampleArray instrument can handle Thermo Scientific foil sealed tubes, in addition to septa and screwtop capped tubes
SampleArray picklists can also be generated from Thermo Scientific™ VisionTracker™ database software and full racks of tubes can be read after the arraying process to update sample locations using the range of Thermo Scientific™ VisionMate™ 2D barcode readers
The SampleArray has been designed and validated with a wide range of Thermo Scientific Matrix and Nunc 2D barcoded tubes to work seamlessly out of the box
