comPILER®

For fully-automated assay plate creation direct from storage, comPOUND stores can be interfaced to the comPILER high throughput, store-to-plate processing system. comPILER can cherry-pick from 1 to 12 comPOUND stores at the same time, allowing the system to retrieve, process and re-store over 20,000 microtubes in 8 hours.

comPILER is a fully-automated system which thaws, centrifuges, decaps and gasses tubes before presenting them to a liquid handler for reformatting. Once plates are prepared, microtubes are returned to comPILER for recapping and storage - all without operator intervention. comPILER maintains sample integrity outside the store by filling each tube with inert Argon gas to maintain the sample microenvironment.

comPILER provides the following benefits:

• fully automated processing with no requirement for operator intervention
• ability to process a rack every 2 minutes
• high throughput ensuring samples are out of storage for the minimum time
• ability to interface with a variety of liquid handling systems
• full sample tracking
• compact footprint
• no requirement for special laboratory conditions
• simple to install
• proven to maintain sample integrity

Each comPILER processing station is self-contained, connected by a modular track system, with each of the processing stations operating autonomously. This allows comPILER to be configured to suit the customer's application, space and budget.
