Laboratory Automation and Equipment for Sample Preparation and Analysis

PhD researchers in materials science, chemical engineering, physics, and life sciences depend on laboratory automation tools to enhance precision and reproducibility in sample preparation and analysis. Our range of lab automation equipment is designed to meet the specific needs of advanced scientific research.

What is Laboratory Automation Equipment?

Laboratory automation equipment includes instruments and systems engineered to efficiently handle repetitive tasks in sample preparation and analysis. These systems, such as automated dispensers, robotic modules, purification systems, and sealing machines, reduce manual intervention and human error, allowing researchers to focus on data analysis and interpretation.

Applications of Laboratory Automation Equipment

Automated laboratory equipment is crucial in various scientific fields. In chemical engineering, automated powder dispensers provide consistent dosing, essential for replicable experiments. Life sciences benefit from automated purification systems that streamline nucleic acid extraction processes. In materials science, robotic modules handle delicate substrates with precision, while sealing machines ensure sample integrity during storage and transport.

Frequently Asked Questions

Should I choose a handheld or benchtop powder dispenser?

Handheld dispensers suit small batches dosed by hand into a few vials. The XQ SDH-1 automated handheld dispenser and the manual SDM-1 are listed. Benchtop machines such as the XQ SDB-1 dose from a powder head into vials held in racks or trays, which suits repeated runs of many samples. The SDB-1A and SDB-2 are further benchtop models.

When does a robotic powder dispensing module make sense?

Robotic modules are built to sit inside an automated workflow, where a robot or scheduler moves vials or plates. The XQ SDB-1RL and SDB-2RL modules and the SDB-1R serve this role. For dosing straight into well plates, look at the XQ SDB-1RS robotic powder doser for wellplates.

What accessories go with XQ dosing machines?

Dosing heads, racks and trays are listed under XQ benchtop powder dosing machine heads and racks/trays, so you can add heads for different powders or racks for other vial formats. XQ powder dosing and capping machine accessories covers further parts for the dosing and capping systems.

Which automated nucleic acid extractor fits my sample count?

Choose by batch size. Bioneer offers the ExiPrep 16 Dx and the ExiPrep 16 Plus for smaller runs, and the ExiPrep 96 Lite for plate-scale work. In between, the MSE PRO 48-well rotary mixing automatic nucleic acid extractor uses a 48-well format.

Which capping machine do I need for microtubes?

The XQ MCF-13A auto vial capping machine caps microtubes and centrifuge tubes. If you also need to remove caps, the XQ MCD-13 handles both capping and de-capping of microtubes. Labs using Sarstedt tubes can add the listed MCF-13A modification service for that tube type.

How do I order several units or a custom setup?

For a mixed setup, such as a dispenser with extra heads and racks, or an extraction system with a plate sealer, send the models and quantities through the quote request page. For several units of the same instrument, use the bulk order request form.
