Sample management and storage system arktic®

for biobanksautomated

arktic provides a flexible, affordable and secure -20°C or -80°C automated storage to meet growing research demand for increasing volumes of biological samples. Its user-friendly, vending machine style design allows for efficient management and retrieval of 2D barcoded samples, eliminating the need for inefficient manual searching. The high storage density and compact footprint allows facilities to minimize overheads and assure sample integrity, while the innovative pneumatic technology facilitates seamless onward transport of specimens to optimize workflows. Automated biostorage boosts productivity Automated cherry-picking saves facilities hours of highly qualified researcher and technician time in comparison to manual searching, dramatically increasing productivity. With a single arktic typically replacing two to three manual freezers, facilities can improve cost-efficiency and benefit from significant workflow improvements. Secure -80°C storage protects precious samples and preserves research integrity The system offers extensive monitoring and fail safe back-up systems to ensure that the correct conditions are maintained throughout the life of the sample while robust tracking ensures that no specimen is mislaid. Vending machine style design enables convenient sample retrieval The user-friendly and convenient design with intuitive touch screen interface enables easy and secure access to samples. The ability to only retrieve requested specimens avoids unnecessary freeze/thaw cycles and maintains full sample integrity.
