Sample size requirement for Machine Calibration:

At least 20x of dosage requirements (e.g. 40 grams for a dosage of 2 grams);

Workflow

• Tube, vial or well plate racks are inserted in the support of the xy table on the robotic module.
• Dispensing process is started from touchscreen controller and can be paused - restarted at each moment.
• Settings for custom racks with number of containers as well as spacing can be entered.
• Instant switching between different rack configurations

Features

• Integrates SDB-1 Dispenser with full functionality.
• Pause-Start-Pause after action-Restart function.
• Vibration mode on and off.
• Multiple dose dispensing (up to 99x repeat shots per container).
• Custom well-plate configuration:
     – Number of tubes-vials along X-axis and Y-axis
     – Spacing between adjacent tubes-vials along X-axis and Y-axis
     – Index location for first tube-vial
     – Skipped tube positions; irregular dispensing patterns can be realized
     – Ten rack configurations can be saved and named
  
• Password protected configurations and settings.

The SDB-1R can be deployed for automated dispensing into up to four  well plates as well as racks of microtubes or vials. The system is controlled from a touch screen controller in the front bezel. Different tube rack formats can be programmed.

This solution increases productivity by enabling “walk-away” time of lab operators and alleviates tedious repetitive tasks and improves productivity and process quality.

One staff can operate a number of these robotic systems in parallel

• Increased lab productivity and ease of use.

  The SDB-1 Solids Dispenser increases the speed of dosing solid-powder samples while retaining the flexibility of freehand processing.

• Occupational health of operators
  Work monotony and operator fatigue in repetitive processing of samples is relieved by automatic portioning and dosing with the SDB-1.
• Continuous precision
  Solid-powder sample portions are dispensed accurately with the SDB-1 with each volume consistently within a tight tolerance eliminating errors of manual processing.

The laboratory dosing solution increases lab productivity and ensures at the same time process accuracy. Compared to other techniques the volumetric solids dispensing is particularly fast (2.5-3.5sec. per dose). Due to its compact benchtop configuration the SDB-1 is easy to integrate in the workflow and alleviates tedious repetitive tasks.

The dispensing heads are interchangeable to enable quick processing of several materials with different dose size and no cross-contamination without cleaning steps. A small dispensing head can be calibrated to doses from 2.5mg up to 300mg in a single shot, or higher for incremental dispensing. A large dispensing head can be calibrated to doses from 5 mg up to 7grams and multiples. There is also a continuous mode for processes like blending.

An LED display indicates the number of doses dispensed. The SDB-1 is powered from the AC socket, 115V-230V switching.

We also offer customized solutions, e.g. for automation.

XQ Instruments MCD-13 Capping and De-capping Machine for Microtubes

The XQ Instruments MCD-13 Microcapper helps attaching screw caps on microtubes. It improves occupational health & safety and process integrity. Has a capping-de-capping rate of 10-15 caps-minute.

The microcapper can be adjusted to a wide range of screw cap sizes with diameters of 12 mm - 24mm. In adjusting the capping wheels are moved laterally to come closer together or further apart by rotating one lead screw which actuates both sides.

The microcapper MCD-13 can be cutsomised for different container sizes and applications.

The height of the machine can be changed by replacing the vertical
structure below the capping mechanism with parts of different size. The
tube holder slider can be replaced with bottle holders of verious configurations
and sizes.

Please contact us for special configurations. We can explore the most suitable configuration with you based on your processes and particular requirements.

• Consistency
  Manual screw capping introduces variation in the torque applied to tighten the caps. Consistent torque provided by our Microcappers prevents leakage of tubes, especially during transportation.
• Health & Safety
  XQ screw capping machines alleviate operator fatigue and reduce possibility of occupational health issues such as carpal tunnel syndrome which frequently occur in manual lab capping.

Consistent tightening of the caps is ensured to prevent leakage during transportation. The MCD-13 reduces operator’s hand fatigue. It is known that hazards such as carpal tunnel syndrome can result from the repetitive strain of manually tightening screw caps, making mechanical capping important.

Designed for capping of screw caps on 13mm tubes typically used in laboratories for the preparation and processing of samples and reagents, the MCD-13 works for various cap, vial and tube sizes. The bench top device is compact, a footprint of less than half an A4 paper, and portable.

The product is user friendly and can be operated with minimum training. Caps are manually placed on each tube, before loading onto holder and pushing in for capping. A de-capping function is also provided.
