NMR Automation

SamplePro Tube

The SamplePro Tube is a XYZ robotic system for general liquid handling tasks, focusing on the demands of sample preparation for NMR measurements and into NMR tubes.
Improve Productivity & Efficiency
For unattended preparation and sampling, free up your valuable lab staff from low-value repetitive tasks
Modularity
Providing choice to specific application needs and options
Simplicity

Out-of-the-box validated sample preparation methods referenced to golden NMR spectra

 

Improved Safety
Automatic controls to detect new source container prevent sample mix-up during the preparation proce

Features

The Challenge:  Transfer and mixing of samples directly in the long, thin glass tubes, in order to avoid a detrimental effect on NMR resolution, all liquid transfers – especially adding and mixing internal standards or solvents – need to be performed without creating air bubbles, foam or concentration gradients.

  • SampleProTube meets the challenges in NMR sample preparation, with out-of-the-box qualified methods for each of the typical NMR solvents
  • High precision pump suited for dispensing volumes (with volume variation less than 1%)
  • Pipetting needle suited for long-thin NMR tubes, from 1.7mm to 5mm diameters
  • Extra long pipetting needle for handling 7inch NMR tubes
  • Patented down-holder and centering system acts as a needle guide, ensures no spillage while avoiding needle damage
  • Sample cooling modules
  • Automated self-identification of labwares on decktrays, eliminating typical system administration tasks associated with adding new source containers, changing types or positions
  • Automated inventory self-check, triggered by sensors on system hood
  • SamplePro LAB2NMR: a fully integrated, walkaway system that prepares samples and sends them directly to the NMR spectrometer. This system has a second robotic arm with a gripper tool to transfer the samples, and features extra shielding to protect the sample preparation platform from the NMR’s magnetic field
  • A validated method for SamplePro Tube is available to prepare samples according to the B.I.Methods Sample Preparation SOP for 5mm Plasma/Serum. Samples prepared by the SamplePro Tube are ready for NMR Measurement according to B.I.Methods 1.x and 2.x and subsequent data analysis with B.I. Quant-PS, B.I. LISA or PhenoRisk PACS™

Benefits

  • Free up your scientists and lab assistants from repetitive tasks: from 7.5 hours of manual pipetting reduced to 2.5 hours for a rack of 96 NMR samples
  • Enables precise and accurate results, especially adding and mixing internal standards or solvents without creating air bubbles, foam or concentration gradients that can negatively impact the NMR sample-turnaround-time
  • Secure handling when managing biohazards
  • Traceability controls ensure no sample mix-up: barcode-oriented software control strategy, so the system always knows the identity and geometry of all the containers on the workdeck
  • Avoid needle damage and spillage, thanks to the patented needle downholder
    Maximized ease-of-use when adding new labware or source containers to the decktray – automated labware detection eliminates overhead associated with system administration
