The LAB-BOT-COR is a compact automation system designed for precise handling and transport of laboratory tubes and racks.
It forms the core platform for automated pick-and-place applications, enabling structured workflows such as sample reformatting and tube organization.
In addition to classic handling tasks, the system also supports dedicated weighing applications, where tubes are automatically transported to an integrated weighing unit for reliable mass determination.
By combining flexible tube handling with integrated weighing capabilities, the LAB-BOT-COR provides a robust foundation for scalable laboratory automation workflows.
LAB-BOT-COR
Tube Handling Station
Gantry system with a universal 4-jaw gripper for secure transportation of tubes inside. The gantry moves along the longitudinal axis and immediately stops when the surface sensors detect an obstacle. The multi-colored LED strips clearly indicate the operational status to the user.
The FlexDeck enables a straightforward setup for any task and any tube type. Rack adapters and racks can be exchanged in seconds to ensure optimal compatibility. Most rack adapters feature multiple slots or positions for standard or specialized automation-compatible racks. Rack adapters for pipetting robot carriers (e.g., Hamilton) are also available. The open access to the deck allows racks to be loaded by external robots or processed with external devices, such as a pipetting robot.
The deck has 20 lock-in positions, with each adapter occupying multiple positions. The scale requires two positions and must always be placed on the right side. The remaining space is flexible and can be occupied by identical or different rack adapters.
Despite the compact dimensions of the device, it accommodates a high loading capacity of tubes, ensuring extended walk-away time. All rack adapters are made of stainless steel and are easy to clean. A wide range of adapters and racks for various tubes and vials is already available (see price list).
The optional scale allows the tubes and vials to be weighed directly on the deck.
Key Capabilities
Supported Tube Types
For precise tracking of your numerous HPLC and GC analyses, barcoded or labeled vials are indispensable. The LAB-BOT-ONE offers the perfect solution for efficiently labeling these vials.
But that's not all! Our state-of-the-art LAB-BOT-ONE can not only label HPLC and GC vials but also cap and decap them. This feature makes filling the vials, for instance, with solvents, a hassle-free task.
As a supplier of test kits, you need a reliable assistant for filling your high-quality reagents. Whether you want to fill and label the micro screw tubes in a small batch or several thousand tubes, the LAB-BOT-ONE is your faithful assistant.
The labels with all necessary information are in exactly the right place. The fill level is exactly thanks to the "no hanging drops" technology, and the caps are tightly closed thanks to the torque shut-off.
Perfect labeling is essential for cryogenic storage or keeping samples. The labels must also withstand temperatures of up to -196°C.
The LAB-BOT-ONE can also determine the weight when storing and retrieving or record the weight loss during storage.
And of course the LAB-BOT-ONE can also re-sort or reform the cryogenic vials between the same or different boxes using cherry picking.
Whether you use Kabevette, Monovette, Vacuette, or Vacutainer blood collection tubes, secure labeling is essential both during blood collection and later analysis.
The LAB-BOT-ONE can easily and quickly label and assemble sets of different tubes for each patient. It doesn't matter what diameter the tubes have or which provider or system you use. Even small diameters, such as 8 mm, commonly used in pediatrics, pose no problems and can be freely combined with other diameters.
Centrifuge tubes with 15ml and 50ml volumes are a standard vessel size in many analytical laboratories for applications such as DNA isolation, purification and precipitation of nucleic acids, cell centrifugation, dilutions or as a storage vessel.
Thanks to the LAB-BOT-ONE, handwritten labels are a thing of the past. And the device also happily and reliably takes care of filling or determining the weight for digestion.
