XL100 Vial Handler

Automates decap, re-array, sample weighing and data collection for 96 tube sample rack.

XL100’s robotic pick and place system moves sample vials to barcode reader, balance, decapper, and other on-deck options.  After processing the samples, the XL100 software generates output files with tube rack ID, tube barcode, and sample weight.

The XL100’s decapper and automated balance options allow weighing vial “without cap” for determining sample weights. XL100 tube barcode scanner options work 1D and 2D label barcodes.  XL100 ships configured to handle specific labware and workflow per lab requirement. The XL100 deck can support a range of labware (vacutainers, 2mL plastic tubes, 4mL  vials, cryo vials, etc).  Deck capacity varies with labware, for XL100 configured for SBS style labware, the deck holds 20 tube racks or vial trays.

Now available a new tube labeler and decapping options, the XL100 provides a flexible platform for sample re-array, vial weighing, barcode capture, tube labeling, and other sample management tasks. 

Features

  • Re-arrays a range of  vial and 96 tube rack samples
  • Automated 4-Place balance records sample weight (5-Place Balance is an optional add-on)
  • Records sample vial 1D or 2D barcode & rack ID barcode
  • Compact 26” x 41” footprint 

Automation Benefits

  • 20 rack deck provides hours of "walk away" time
  • Same procedure for processing small and large sample sets
  • Sample data output in CSV files for Excel or LIMS
