Fully Automated High-Throughput Sample Tube De-Capping/Re-Capping with Sample to Microplate Transfer
STP-7000 High-throughput Automated Sample Transfer SystemSafely remove liquid biological samples from a variety of sample collection tube types, including screw-capped, swab style, microtubes and others. This high-throughput system can automatically transfer 192 samples from airtight or plain tubes into two, 96-well microplates in 40 minutes.
Designed for labs with high volumes of incoming biological sample collection tubes, the STP-7000 integrates tube de-capping and re-capping, barcode identification, and liquid transfer to microplates.
This system transfers liquids from tubes safely, with no human intervention, in a free-standing, fully-enclosed negative pressure cabinet for out-of-the-box operation, robust quality, and reliability. The system can be configured with three sets of tools for small, medium, and large containers, ranging from microtubes to 50mL tubes, including VT, saliva, and feces containers.

- Multiple finger-sets allow for a variety of tube types
- Real time grip sensing in tool
- Pipetting ranges from 10μL to 1000μL
- Dual independent pipetting channel tools
- Pipettes into single wells or can pool samples
- Shucks tips below deck into biohazard bag for safety
- Capacitive (cLLD) liquid level detection is used for proper liquid transfers
- Capping station rotates tube for scanner access, no need to arrange tube barcodes in any orientation
- Dual sensors scan both tubes simultaneously
- System transfers tube barcode to plate output text file
- Standard finger-sets can work with a variety tube types
- Tubes are re-capped with the SAME cap after sample has been pipetted
- No need to align bar codes facing in any direction
- Decapper can be configured to remove vacuum tops or screw caps
- Tubes are re-capped with the SAME cap after sample has been pipetted
- No need to remove swabs from tubes in system
