comPILER store-to-plate sample preparation

comPILER store-to-plate sample preparation
comPILER allows cherry-picked and fully-automated assay plate creation from a deep-frozen store. It prepares racks of microtubes delivered from comPOUND for reformatting by a liquid handling system.

comPILER provides the following benefits: fully automated processing - no operator intervention required system can process a rack every 2 minutes high throughput ensures that samples are out of storage for the minimum possible time interfaces to a variety of liquid handling systems full sample tracking compact footprint requires no special laboratory conditions and is simple to install proven to maintain sample integrity. >> Download poster on sample integrity

Tubes from comPOUND arrive at comPILER's high speed arrayer, via the unique air transport system, and are arranged in a customer-specified layout in 96 position racks. From the arrayer the tubes enter a defrosting chamber for controlled thawing and drying, before centrifuging the tube contents ready for extraction. The tubes then enter a decapper, followed by inert gas purging to protect the contents during liquid extraction. The tubes are then ready for presentation to the liquid handler. After reformatting the tubes are gas purged and recapped before returning to the comPOUND store. Each comPILER processing station is self-contained, connected by a modular track system, with each of the processing stations operating autonomously. This autonomy allows comPILER to be configured to suit the client's application, space and budget. Tubes are tracked using barcode readers as they move around the system. Additional comPOUND storage modules can easily be added to an existing system, increasing sample throughputs. One comPILER can be connected to up to 12 comPOUND stores, facilitating a library as large as 1,200,000 tubes. The throughput of such a system is 20,000 tubes from store, through processing, and back to store again in only 8 hours. No operator intervention is required, so the system can be run overnight. comPOUND storage modules more information >> comPANION remote delivery system more information >> control software more information >>
