When working within a life sciences laboratory one of the most important assets is your samples. This is why it is imperative to preserve, store and retrieve samples while maintaining their integrity. With any large store or “library” of compounds or other samples, being able to easily retrieve a specified sub-set of samples is key to any research workflow - this is the so-called “pick list.” A new technical paper from Ziath describes how their Mirage 2D tube rack reader and Mohawk semi-automated tube picker...
The Mohawk 48 tube selector and picker from Ziath is designed to select and pick wide, heavy, or tall tubes making this new system perfect for retrieving individual whole tissue samples from storage. The Mohawk 48 uses forty-eight solenoid pins to enable a specific frozen or thawed sample tube to be raised and selected when a 48-position tube rack is presented according to a pick list from Excel or a LIMS system...
