Hamilton Storage Technologies has introduced the automated -20C Sample Access Manager (SAM) - an affordable cold storage system for compounds and biological samples.
The -20C SAM ensures sample integrity by maintaining a precise storage environment at user-determined levels, between +20C and -40C.
Based on the technology behind Hamilton's -80C storage system, the -20C SAM is a lower throughput, automated system that offers sample format flexibility, cherry-picking, and sample tracking software in a compact footprint.
The system's sample-tracking software provides an audit trail and complete chain of custody documentation for regulated environments.
The -20C SAM's internal robotics are driven by Hamilton's external magnetic couplers, to ensure consistent storage temperature and prevent sample degradation.
The system can handle microplates or a variety of tube sizes, and is ideal for the storage of nucleic acids, tissues, proteins and compounds.
