XL9 – TUBE HANDLER
The XL9 Tube Handler is a simple to use automated pick-and-place tube handler for 96 tube rack samples.
The XL9 Tube Sorting System automates the transfer of tubes from up to nine 96-tube racks, simplifying compound library management, sample preparation, assay sorting, and other processing procedures.
XL9 Tube Handler
A smaller version of the XL20, the XL9 automates sample tube sorting, re-arraying, sample weighing, sample volume tracking, and now tube labelling!
The XL9’s workflow oriented software controls the automatic transfer of sample tubes to the 2D barcode reader, tube balance, and volume measurement options. The XL9 software logs all collected data (sample 2D code, sample weight, etc.) to output files and integrates with LIMS.
A proven sample management tool, the XL9 works well as primary automation platform for labs with growing sample libraries, and as complementary tube processing platform for larger core facilities.
