XL100 Vial Handler
The XL100 Vial Handler is a benchtop vial sorter that works with a wide range of test tubes and vials. XL100 options include an automated sample balance and tube decapping stations. The XL100 modular design allows for an upgrade path to automate liquid handling tasks.
Compatible vials and tubes include:
- Micro-tubes (96 tube rack 2D format)
- 2ml Plastic Vials (2D and 1D barcoded vials)
- 4ml - 8ml Glass Vials (2D and 1D barcoded vials)
- Test tubes (1D barcoded tubes)
- Other glass & plastic labware
XL100 lab automation features include:
- Decapping & capping of test tubes
- Sorting and transferring sample tubes
- Weighing tubes (0.1mg or 0.01mg readability)
- Scans both 1D or 2D barcodes
- Creates output files with tube location and weight
The XL100 includes Windows based control software that
is easy to use and ready for user work lists. The software's
intuitive interface makes the XL100 operable by a wide variety
of users. The XL100 uses the same Windows and ActiveX software as the XL20 system.
Robust Reliability
The
XL100's robotic platform is engineered for robust continuous
operation. Encoder based automation combined with the XL100's
2D tube scanner, 1D tube spinner/scanner, and barcoded tube rack management features ensure
reliable operation.
Innovative Features
The XL100 brings easy to use robotic vial and tube handling to the benchtop. Features such
as individual tube identification, barcoded rack setup, and
detailed log files make the XL100 a best-in-class lab automation
platform.
Applications
The XL100 automates handling sample tubes for:
- Compound library management
- Sample weighing
- Preparation
of samples
- Sorting of specific assays
- Re-array
processing
