Properties
- System sizing: a wide range of capacity options are available from 70,000 to over 10 million tubes
- Labware flexibility and adaptability: handles the widest range of labware available in a single store, including cryovials, SBS formatted tubes, SBS plates and more
- Functional modules: allow for customization to meet your needs today and can be modified to meet your future needs
- High-density storage: reformatting labware to proprietary HD storage racks can more than double storage capacity compared to SBS formatted storage
- Multi-pitch shelving: dynamic storage shelving maximizes storage density; a sample imaging module captures barcodes, labware type and heights to assure an optimal storage location
- Easy to use: no special expertise required to operate the system
- Various models available including options for space efficiency
Quality
- The BioStore system maintains sample integrity by keeping innocent (unpicked) samples at storage temperature throughout the picking process. Other quality assurance features include:
- Sample security: redundant refrigeration circuits and backup LN2 capability are standard, and help maintain consistent sample temperature in case of catastrophic power outage
- -80°C picking modules: can pick cohorts of tubes and maintain non-targeted, ‘innocent’ samples at -80°C until requested by user
- Temperature homogeneity: by placing the evaporators above all samples, the temperature remains constant throughout the storage environment
- Minimized thermal disruption: a passive tile wall insulates the storage compartment and allows for rapid sample access; less than 1% of the wall surface area is opened when samples are retrieved, ensuring innocent samples are not exposed to unnecessary temperature cycling
