Benefits of SAM
External Magnetic
Couplers
The external magnetic couplers
are used to drive internal
robotics. This patented
technology eliminates any
moisture being introduced
within the system while
maintaining sample quality and
increasing system reliability.
Integrated Tube
Picking Module
The integrated Tube Picking
Module allows for a fast
and easy way to cherry-pick
desired tubes or vials in a
controlled inert environment.
Flexible Labware
Formats
Capable of storing
microtubes, vials,
vacutainers and
microplates. Also capable of
storing any SBS format rack
up to 100 mm.
Reduces Freeze/
Thaw Cycles
By maintaining a proper
temperature, each sample
maintains the highest
integrity.
Custom Freezer Door
for Increased Storage
Capacity
Our custom design
allows for more sample
storage, increasing
laboratory efficiency.
Flexible Sample
Storage
Each system can store up to
three labware types per
system, allowing for the
utmost flexibility.
Retrieves Samples in
Less Than 70
Seconds
Our patented robotics quickly
retrieve 1D and 2D barcoded
samples.
LN2 Backup System
Our storage system provides a
LN2 backup system in case of
any freezer malfunction,
allowing for the maximum
security of your samples.
