Sample Access Manager — SAM Intelligent Storage Combine reliability, robustness, flexibility, security and ease-of-use with an automated sample management system and you get HAMILTON Storage Technologies’ Sample Access Manager (SAM). The SAM is now available in both a -80°C and -20°C platform. The SAM provides the cold storage market with state-of-the-art sample automation at a cost-efficient price. Key Features: • Sample temperature range of: -55°C to -80°C on the -80°C SAM +20°C to -40°C on the -20°C SAM • Reliable and robust robotics • Easy-to-use CFR Part 11 compliant software • Software provides a complete audit trail • Multiple sample type capability Applications: • Life science research • Drug discovery • Biobanking • Forensics • Pharmacogenomics • Genotyping Technical Specifications SAM Instrument Dimensions Width: 1270 mm (50.0”), Height: 2210 mm (87.0”), Depth: 1346 mm (53.0”) Weight Depending on configuration from 771 kg / 1,700 lbs (empty) Sample Atmosphere Nitrogen or dry air (-40°C dew point or lower) Sample Temperature +20°C to -40°C / -55°C to -80°C Capacity (maximum) Throughput Rate (per hour) Operating Data 103 South St. Hopkinton, MA 01748 508.544.7000 (main) 508.544.7001 (fax) www.hamilton-storage.com SBS Microplates Half-height Microplates Deep-well Microplates 0.5 ml Screw Cap Tubes 1.0 ml Screw Cap Tubes 1.2 ml Cryovials 803 625 355 34,080 28,800 14,400 1.4 ml Dura Seal Tubes 1.4 ml Sepra Seal Tubes 1.4 ml Screw Cap Tubes 2.0 ml Cryovials/ Screw Cap Tubes 5.0 ml Screw Cap Tubes 10 ml Vacutainers 28,800 14,400 8,496 3,816 34,080 34,080 SBS Microplates Tubes 50+ 95+ Voltage Frequency Operating Environment Altitude Two 208v-240v ±10%, 15 A service 50 Hz / 60 Hz 10-32°C, relative humidity 0 to 80% with no condensation < 2000 m Barcode Reading Integrated 1D and 2D barcode reader Control PC Windows XP operating system, connected to the door of the system Intelligent Sample Storage. 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. Lit. No. HST-0909-01 Printed 09/09 USA.
