ADAPTABLE SampleStore II is modular: Expand or upgrade as needs change INPUT/OUTPUT TUBE SELECTOR INPUT/OUTPUT TUBE SELECTOR ADD MORE I/O AND/OR SELECTOR MODULES FOR HIGHER THROUGHPUT AND/OR NEW CONTAINER TYPES Start with a store to meet today s needs Add sample picking and input/output modules when you need them Flexibility in a changing world You have plans to invest in a new automated sample storage system. You will be planning on that system having many years of useful life. However, the one thing that you are certain of, is that the future is full of uncertainty! SampleStore II has been specifically designed for an unpredictable world: Dynamically allocated storage space whenever samples are loaded: no need to predefine the mix of sample containers Sample picking modules are designed for a wide range of container sizes When you have new container types to store, then new sample picking modules and storage trays can be easily added or old ones replaced: SampleStore II has 6 module bays as standard; typically one is required for input/output, leaving up to 5 available for sample picking Increase throughput by adding further sample picking modules Increase storage capacity seamlessly linked by an internal bridge. Brooks Multi-format storage Dynamic storage
HIGH AVAILABILITY Modular proven subsystems, easy remote access, easy to service INCREASE STORAGE CAPACITY ADD MORE I/O AND/OR SELECTOR MODULES FOR HIGHER THROUGHPUT AND/OR NEW CONTAINER TYPES INPUT/OUTPUT TUBE SELECTOR Grow capacity when and if you need it Brooks SampleStore II has been designed for reliability from the start. Based on almost 20 years experience, a global install base and experience that spans from room temperature to -80 C and below; Brooks stores range from some of the largest to the smallest in the world: Data capture and logging, Strata intelligent diagnostics allow Brooks to quickly diagnose any problems and to take reliability to a new level. Samples are inspected on input, both height detection and imaging: errors on sample input can be the greatest cause of failures Standard sub systems with proven reliability and performance: our modular approach gives both flexibility AND reliability Intuitive user interface, on the store itself and on the store control software: minimizing the risk of human error. Configure to a wide range of capacities Example model Size (L x h x w) S2-c12-h10 S2-c54-h15 S2-c130-h20 2.1m x 2.6m x 2.4m (6 11 x 8 8 x 8 ) 6.8m x 3.8m x 2.4m (22 2 x 12 4 x 8 ) 14m x 4.5m x 2.4m (45 10 x 14 10 x 8 ) Capacity 1.4ml tubes 1 dram vials Shallow well plates 300,000 90,000 6,000 2,500,000 640,000 40,000 8,000,000 1,900,000 120,000
HIGHLY CONFIGURABLE FOR A RANGE OF APPLICATIONS: CAPACITY, THROUGHPUT AND CONTAINERS Standard solutions provide great benefits to users. Standardization brings the reliability of designs that have been proven in many different laboratories, that can be delivered in a known time frame and provide confidence in the promised performance. SampleStore II brings the benefits of standardization to automated sample storage. The SampleStore II modular architecture is based on Brooks depth of experience in producing a wide variety of automated storage systems. The vast majority of automated storage requirements can be met by standard SampleStore II modules: Capacities from 300,000 to over 10,000,000 samples (based on 96-way tubes) Lengths from 2.1m to 20m (7 to 66 ) Heights from 2.6m to 4.5m (8 to 15 ) Picking almost any container, including: standard SBS 96-way tubes, SBS format micro plates, REMP microtubes, glass vials and cryovials Throughputs up to 100,000+ samples per day Storage environments from +20 C to -20 C and including low humidity and inert gas SampleStore II has the same architecture as our -80 C automated storage system Biostore II. This brings greater benefits of standardization. For example, a typical biorepository will store DNA at +4 C or -20 C and blood serum at -80 C; SampleStore II and BioStore II can be used in these two applications and have common user interfaces as well as sharing common modules and subsystems, simplifying user training and support. Brooks SampleStore II Modules High density storage Native REMP tube punching with the RTT Selector Module; the same module can pick STBR384, STBR96-300 and STBR96-900 tubes
SAMPLESTORE II AND ITS SOFTWARE IS EASY AND CONVENIENT TO USE: No special engineering expertise is required to operate the system Using SampleStore II becomes completely intuitive with Brooks Strata store control software. The simplified user interface can be easily configured for day to day operation with more detail available via drill down and advanced screens for super users. Strata can be used next to the store, remotely from a users Office or even from home; Strata will operate on a PC and mobile devices, such as an ipad. Strata simplifies integration with Corporate IT systems and LIMS supporting Web Services and other technologies. Strata ensures reliable performance via intelligent diagnostics and error recovery. Typical detailed Dashboard The result is savings in time and money: your staff can focus on the science rather than taking care of the automation.
