Maximize Uptime and Increase Efficiency with Advanced Hardware and Smart Software
EasyLoad: Smart Automation with Camera AI
The EasyLoad sample magazine uses integrated camera AI to recognize samples, select the appropriate mask, determine the best mode (vacuum or helium), read sample IDs, and prioritize samples for intuitive operation.
It has 84 positions and comes in two configurations: one with a magnetic grabber for samples in cups and automation rings, and another that also handles bare samples with an integrated vacuum grabber.
The S8 TIGER also supports up to two automation ports for managing samples from automated preparation.
SampleCare: Protection for Critical Components
Thanks to SampleCare you can rely on the S8 TIGER when it comes to fragile or liquid samples. Like in no other system SampleCare constantly protects all important system components from contamination.
The high-transmission vacuum seal reduces the cost of operation by minimizing helium purge.
