MiniStore™

The MiniStore keeps samples safe, organized, and accessible. The MiniStore sample management system is capable of storing and tracking thousands or even millions of samples, all in one space saving location. Enjoy quick retrieval of individual and/or bulk samples for processing, from a single trusted storage system.

The MiniStore automated sample storage system accommodates a variety of sample types and formats (including 96 and 384 mini-tubes, dram and scintillation vials, 1.4ml tubes, plates, ect.) The MiniStore storage system can be customized to fit your current media standards with the ability to store and manage multiple media types within the same system. The MiniStore boosts a flexible sample storage room environmental control capable of ambient to -20° C. (Note: Common storage temperature ranges include 0°C, -4°C, and -20°C) The MiniStore is an ideal fit for satellite labs and dedicated libraries of industries including pharmaceutical, biotechnology, clinical testing, agrichemical, laboratory diagnostics, genomics, pathology, and fine chemicals.

The MiniStore, boasts a modular design starting with a 1,500 plate capacity, this expandable storage system was created to fit into smaller lab spaces. Constructed using industry-tested components to ensure maximum reliability, the MiniStore can be expanded vertically or horizontally. Achieve fast unattended retrieval while increasing researcher productivity. It can take 2 technicians 2 weeks to complete 10,000 picks, the MiniStore can achieve this task in less than one day.

The Vial Weighing Station module offers a single vial capture mechanism to weigh up to 210 grams of liquid, solids or powders. The Station boasts interchangeable adapters to allow for different size vials (2mL, 8mL, 20mL, etc.). This Station may be integrated into the reformatting module of Matrical’s Ministore, automated sample storage, management and retrieval system or AutoMAP, Automated Assay Platform. The vial weighing station enables vials to be weighed as they are processed into the system and the data is correlated with initial tare weight to speed the inventory control process for samples. This design reduces manual weighing steps and ensures accurate accounting of samples.
