Features and Benefits
The benchtop STP-3000 integrates a tube handling robotic arm, de-capping and re-capping module, tube barcode reading, liquid handling pipetting channel and negative pressure protection to provide fast and convenient sample transfer. Safely remove caps, transfer liquids to a microplate and re-cap the sample tube with the same cap, reducing waste and eliminating the risks from operators handling biological collection tubes.
Safe
Safely un-cap a wide variety of collection tubes and transfer sample liquid into a microplate and re-cap with the same cap.
Clean
Two HEPA filters and a UV light ensure a safer environment, with the HEPA filters providing 99.995% filtration efficiency at 0.3µm.
Flexible
Adapts to various closure types, saliva and feces containers, and optional blood collection tubes.
