SampleArray™ Instrument

Array sample tubes in 48-, 96-, or 384-format racks quickly and easily for optimal downstream sample processing. Compatible with applications that require sample handling down to -20°C, the Thermo Scientific™ SampleArray™ instrument can transport individual tubes without thawing precious samples. A valuable add-on to the Thermo Scientific™ SampleSeal™ tube sealer or Thermo Scientific™ Capit All™ capper, the SampleArray instrument completes a secure sealing and arraying process that can benefit a range of sample storage and handling requirements.

Rapid and reliable arraying for your precious samples

• Reconfigure or cherry pick sample tubes for downstream processes at room temperature or in a cold environment down to -20°C
• Create work lists, set quarantine conditions, and run parameters that meet end users' specific requirements using the simple software interface

Intuitive software interface

• Allows creation of arraying procedures directly in the software or can be configured to use worklist files from external database systems
• Includes flexibility and input parameters meeting the needs of simple or complex arraying procedures

Integrated 2D barcode reader

• Confirms the correct sample tubes are selected during the arraying process
• Provides traceability for information transfer to database and LIMS systems
• Includes simple plugin options for use with linear barcode readers to identify sample racks placed on the instrument and execute programs

Weigh module accessory

• Supports monitoring sample mass and volume
• Enables setting quarantine parameters for use in sample management and downstream laboratory procedures

System approach

• A perfect add-on to the SampleSeal sealer, the SampleArray instrument can handle Thermo Scientific foil sealed tubes, in addition to septa and screwtop capped tubes
• SampleArray picklists can also be generated from Thermo Scientific™ VisionTracker™ database software and full racks of tubes can be read after the arraying process to update sample locations using the range of Thermo Scientific™ VisionMate™ 2D barcode readers
• The SampleArray has been designed and validated with a wide range of Thermo Scientific Matrix and Nunc 2D barcoded tubes to work seamlessly out of the box
