BioMicroLab - Model XL100 -Simplifies Complex Tube and Vial Handling Tasks

Benchtop and high performance tube and vial handling

XL Series Tube and Vial Handlers streamline liquid transfer, volume detection, sample identification/verification, labeling, capping/de-capping tasks to eliminate bottlenecks and transform tube handling workflows.

Software

Temperature management

Cost effective solutions to temperature management are available depending on the application.  Options include models built for cool room environments, or a system integrated directly on the XL Series instrument platform, such as Solid State Cooling system or Mécour Thermal block, to maintain steady sample temperatures.

Compatible labware

Enclosures

When operator safety is a concern, the XL100 can be enclosed so that the instrument automatically shuts off when the door is opened. Clear, acrylic walls allow maximum light and visibility into the instrument to support comfortable user conditions. Enclosures are now available with HEPA filtration.

Label printing and application

The LabelPro module prints and applies high-resolution 1D & 2D barcodes as well as human readable text and symbols. User-friendly software allows operators to generate unique or identical labels using a variety of label materials and sizes.

Sample identification and tracking

The XL100 seamlessly integrates 2D data matrix barcode decoding with other tube handling operations, decoding up to 500 tubes per hour. BioMicroLab’s software captures and reports each tube’s 2D barcode, tube location, weight, volume and more to LIMS systems.

Volume detection

The instrument integrates either a precision 4-place or 5-place automated balance to automate the collection of sample weight data and easily verify volume upon receipt of samples, or before/after liquid transfer operations.

Liquid Transfer

We offer automated liquid handling with the Tecan ADP pipetting module, configured on your XL Series Tube Handler via a separate Z-axis to allow seamless integration with other tube handling tasks. The Cavro ADP single channel pipette uses air displacement technology or conductive tips to aspirate or dispense fluids to and from any tube, vial or rack position!

Generous 20 rack capacity deck maximizes efficiency

The generous capacity enables researchers to pre-load 20 racks, reservoir plates or pipette tip boxes, removing tasks from the critical path and increasing research productivity. For a 30 rack capacity deck, see the XL200.

Re-array, reformatting, and cherry-picking designed for compatibility

The instrument’s pick fingers adjust to a wide variety of tubes and vials, and the XL100 is compatible with ANSI/SLAS format tube racks, including honeycomb format racks and PCR plates.

Efficient sample identification and tracking

The XL100 seamlessly integrates 2D and 1D barcode decoding with other tube handling operations for easier sample identification and tracking.

Simplify label printing and application with integrated labeling module

Our LabelPro module applies high-resolution labels printed with 1D & 2D barcodes, symbols and human readable text to tubes and vials - reducing the burden of manual labeling tasks and eliminating bottlenecks.

Efficient collection of sample weight data

To verify volume upon receipt of samples, or before/after liquid transfer operations, the XL100 integrates precision balances to automate the collection of sample weight data.

Robust and reliable day-to-day operations

The XL100 has a proven track record of reliability, ensuring maximum uptime for day-to-day automated sample management operations and safeguarding research productivity.
