Features and Benefits
Designed for labs with high volumes of incoming biological sample collection tubes, the STP-7000 integrates tube de-capping and re-capping, barcode identification, and liquid transfer to microplates.
This system transfers liquids from tubes safely, with no human intervention, in a free-standing, fully-enclosed negative pressure cabinet for out-of-the-box operation, robust quality, and reliability. The system can be configured with three sets of tools for small, medium, and large containers, ranging from microtubes to 50mL tubes, including VT, saliva, and feces containers.
Safe
Lab techs no longer have to manually handle liquid transfers from sealed biological collection tubes.
Intelligent
Full bar code and liquid pipetting tracking, with output files, for patient sample transfers to microplates.
Flexible
Addresses a wide range of tubes – 4 mL microtubes, VT, saliva, 50mL, feces – and offers optional de-capping tool for blood collection tubes.
STP-7000 Features
Tube Gripper
> Industrial Epson robot and tube gripper tool
> High speed, reliable tube movement
> Multiple finger-sets allow for a variety of tube types
> Real time grip sensing in tool
Capping Tool
> Two dual capping stations, 4 active positions
> Dual stations allow for 2 tubes to be simultaneously processed
> Decaps and Recaps with same cap to reduce laboratory waste and consumable costs
> Multiple finger-sets allow for different tube and cap types
> Rugged design allows for removal of vacutainer tops and screw caps from tubes
Barcode Scanner
> Capping station rotates tube for scanner access, no need to arrange tube barcodes in any orientation
> Dual sensors scan both tubes simultaneously
> System transfers tube barcode to plate output text file
Dual Pipetting Tool
> Pipetting ranges from 10μL to 1000μL
> Dual independent pipetting channel tools
> Pipettes into single wells or can pool samples
> Shucks tips below deck into biohazard bag for safety
> Capacitive (cLLD) liquid level detection is used for proper liquid transfers
Vacuum Sealed Containers
> Decapper can be configured to remove vacuum tops or screw caps
> Tubes are re-capped with the SAME cap after sample > has been pipetted
> No need to remove swabs from tubes in system
Screw Caps
> Standard finger-sets can work with a variety tube types
> Tubes are re-capped with the SAME cap after sample has been pipetted
> No need to align bar codes facing in any direction
