Lab2Lab - automated sample transport from TTP LabTech

Lab2Lab - automated sample transport
TTP LabTech's Lab2Lab is a new automated sample transport system for sending individual microtubes between analytical workstations or laboratories. Lab2Lab uses the proven pneumatic technology at the heart of the comPOUND sample store and a simple network of uPVC tubing to connect a minimum of two stations and transfer samples using a blast of air. These ‘stations’ can be instruments located in different rooms, or even on different floors of a building. Lab2Lab provides on-demand delivery of a single sample tube to a sampling device, then to the analytical hardware, and then to a waste container or collection point.

Lab2Lab offers to optimise the use of expensive analysis instrumentation as it can send a sample to any available instrument, even if it is located in a different core lab to the user. It also reduces the time taken for samples to be sent, analysed and associated data returned to the scientist. Lab2Lab can be used stand-alone or as part of an automation workflow solution. Lab2Lab provides the following functionality: On-demand supply of a single sample directly to the auto-sampler of an analytical instrument Barcode scanning Removal and disposal of processed sample tube Log of sample movement Easy-to-use software which is simple to integrate with databases or Electronic Lab Notebooks Contact us at sales@ttplabtech.com for further information or visit Booth #370 at LabAutomation 2008 in Palm Springs for a live demonstration.
