9 CONSUMABLES Labels TUBE LABEL KITS Scinomix offers a variety of label kits to accommodate for your specific tube application. The label and ribbon combinations have been tested extensively with the Scinomix line of automated labelers. They have proven to be the best fit for ensuring optimal labeling performance. Scinomix offers six different label kit sizes to accommodate a variety of tube sizes. CONSUMABLES Pin Tool Replicators Our disposable Pin Replicators are made of autoclaveable polypropylene for ease of sterilization. The replicators are meant for one time use, and virtually eliminate the threat of cross-contamination that occurs from repeat use metal replicators. The parts were designed for robotics and manual use. The base of the replicators is approximately 15 mm in height on the portrait and landscape sides for easy gripping. According to studies published by V&P Scientific, each pin delivers ~ 130 nl.
