Revolution-Q with CELLTRIO Robostar Automation Technology

Provides specific box delivery as requested via the UI or server pick lists. This facilitates the full audit and event trail for the lifetime of individual samples in storage.

Fully unattended operation, storage and removal of samples and the creation of retrieval tasks which, when complete, are replaced in the freezer awaiting collection by the user.

• Individual cryovial handling (pick and place)
• Automated cryovial 2D barcode scanning
• Store/retrieve cryovials across multiple storage locations
• SBS-96 and 9×9 cryovial compatibility
• Cryovial cap range: 8-13mm
• Sample max height of 54mm, cryovial plus cryovial

WHY USE FULLY AUTOMATED CRYOGENIC FREEZERS?

Safety

Safer for Operators: Eliminates manually lifting heavy racks. No need to reach into LN2 freezer. Robot has built-in safety measures.

Safer for Samples: Automatic storage and retrieval ensures sample location and data integrity. Minimizes cross-contamination and sample exposure to room temperature.

Safer for Facility: All freezers can be connected and monitored with a centralized management system. Freezer alarm can be connected to facility alarm.

Security

Access to stored samples and software features can be managed on a per-user basis.

Traceability is enabled by logging all user actions, environmental conditions, data changes and system events.

Inventory management system with barcode reader reduces humor error and enables sample validation during storage and retrieval.

Data

All operations are recorded, sample exposure mending incidents are fully documented.

Monitoring and Alerts

Sample locations, temperature and LN2 level are monitored 24/7 and logged. Automatic LN2 supply is triggered when level declines to a pre-defined value. Optional connection to facility alarm system.
