Overview
MGISTP-3000 is a benchtop automated sample transfer system designed for laboratories that need a reliable and efficient solution for liquid handling. It processes 96 samples in just 40 minutes and can handle approximately 3,500 samples in 24 hours. The system integrates tube decapping and recapping, barcode identification, and HEPA filtration to ensure safe and contamination-free operations. With a 23-inch touchscreen and intuitive software, it offers a versatile and easy-to-use platform for various sample types. It operates continuously with minimal user intervention, automatically logging common errors to keep workflows running smoothly.
High Throughput and Efficiency
The MGISTP-3000 processes 96 samples in 40 minutes and can handle approximately 3,500 samples within 24 hours, reducing manual handling and increasing laboratory productivity. Its high-torque decapping module supports continuous operation with minimal user intervention.
Automated Tube Handling and Barcode Tracking
The system performs automated tube decapping and recapping alongside 1D and 2D barcode scanning for full sample traceability. A robotic arm with positioning accuracy of ±0.1 mm handles transfers, and the system automatically logs common errors to ensure a smooth workflow.
Contamination Control
HEPA filters rated at 99.995% efficiency at 0.3 µm, combined with UV light, maintain a clean, safe environment and prevent aerosol leakage and cross-contamination.
Flexible Tube and Sample Compatibility
MGISTP-3000 supports simultaneous handling of three different tube types, including 5-15 mL sampling tubes and 20 mL HPV tubes, as well as VTM, Salivette, and feces containers. It transfers samples into ANSI/SBS-compliant microplates for seamless downstream processing.
Software and Laboratory Integration
A 23-inch touchscreen and intuitive software make the system easy to operate, while seamless integration with barcode systems and laboratory information management systems supports compatibility with downstream automation workflows.
