For a full description of comPOUND storage technology click
here >>
The basic comPOUND storage module holds up to 100,000 samples in 1.4mL microtubes. Each individual microtube can be identified, selected and retrieved, typically within 5 seconds. A double-density module - the comPOUND D2 - can store up to 200,000 0.5mL microtubes, or a mixture of both types of microtube. comPOUND does not use robotic arms but instead stores and retrieves samples using air pressure. Inside the cabinet, the tubes are held in 26 carousels, kept in a self-contained, controlled environment (nitrogen atmosphere at a user-defined temperature ranging from ambient to –20°C). These carousels provide extremely high density storage and give the module a very compact footprint of only 1.2m x 1.65m x 2.4m. |

| comPOUND software provides an easy and
foolproof interface between the module(s) and any existing LIMS or
compound management system.
comPOUND modules can easily be connected together using comPANION or comPILER to form a larger sample library. Modules are connected in parallel so tubes in different modules can be accessed simultaneously, which means that sample processing actually gets faster as the library grows. Because each comPOUND module is self-contained, it can be sited anywhere and relocated easily if your laboratory processes change. This modularity and the unit's small footprint mean that the comPOUND system can expand with a business, starting from small laboratory scale requirements of one module, up to an integrated library of almost any size.
