Micronic HT500 Tube Handler Features
The Micronic HT500 Tube Handler (Second Generation) is an upgraded, semi-automated system designed to streamline the selection and sorting of valuable liquid and solid samples in 96-well tube racks. Capable of processing up to 400 tubes per hour with space for 20 racks, the HT500 helps labs dramatically improve efficiency, accuracy, and sample traceability.
With upgraded Y-axis handling, built-in 1D and 2D barcode scanning, and seamless LIMS integration, the HT500 is a smart, compact solution for modern biobanks, research centers, and clinical labs.
A “pick list” generated from a LIMS system can also easily be loaded with a USB stick. The desired tubes are automatically selected and placed in a target rack. There is room for a maximum of 20 racks. A log-file is generated when the selection is finished. In combination with the use of Micronic tubes, the device is an excellent and reliable choice for many sample storage tube applications.
Using the HT500 is efficient:
1. Generate a "pick list" from your LIMS system and input it into the HT500 using a USB stick.
2. Utilize the included 1D code reader to scan the rack positions on the platform, source, and target racks.
3. Allow the machine to complete the task.
With the capacity to hold 20 racks and handle up to 400 tubes per hour, the HT500 can significantly enhance workflow efficiency. Its intuitive user interface enables easy selection, arrangement, or rearrangement of samples, making it an invaluable automation tool for laboratories and biobanks alike.
