SamplePro Tube

SamplePro Tube is a XYZ robotic system for general liquid handling tasks, focusing on the demands of sample preparation for NMR measurements and into NMR tubes

Features
Transfer and mixing of samples directly in the long, thin glass tubes, in order to avoid a detrimental effect on NMR resolution, all liquid transfers – especially adding and mixing internal standards or solvents – need to be performed without creating air bubbles, foam or concentration gradients.

• High precision pump suited for dispensing volumes (with volume variation less than 1%)
• Pipetting needle suited for long-thin NMR tubes, from 1.7mm to 5mm diameters
• Extra long pipetting needle for handling 7inch NMR tubes
• Patented down-holder and centering system acts as a needle guide, ensures no spillage while avoiding needle damage
• Sample cooling modules
• Automated self-identification of labwares on decktrays, eliminating typical system administration tasks associated with adding new source containers, changing types or positions
• Automated inventory self-check, triggered by sensors on system hood
• SamplePro LAB2NMR: a fully integrated, walkaway system that prepares samples and sends them directly to the NMR spectrometer. This system has a second robotic arm with a gripper tool to transfer the samples, and features extra shielding to protect the sample preparation platform from the NMR’s magnetic field
• A validated method for SamplePro Tube is available to prepare samples according to the B.I.Methods Sample Preparation SOP for 5mm Plasma/Serum. Samples prepared by the SamplePro Tube are ready for NMR Measurement according to B.I.Methods 1.x and 2.x and subsequent data analysis with B.I. Quant-PS, B.I. LISA or PhenoRisk PACS™
