System for filling and sealing of CBS™ High Security straws
Automation for the packaging in straws of liquid biological samples.
PACE automatically fills and thermally seals a user defined number of straws from a primary sample tube. Both 0.3 ml and 0.5 ml straws with weave plug can be used with PACE, either pre-identified or just before ID printing with SIDE (see page 10). Sample is filled into the straw with a disposable filling nozzle (ref 014623) at the open end and an aspiration nozzle (ref 014621) at the plug end of the straw.
Tamper proof ink-jet printed straws packaged in sets of study-specific color combinations are available on request from Cryo Bio System. Filled blank straws can also be printed in the laboratory with a SIDE system.
PACE is the packaging system for laboratories with large aliquoting and storage programs, with fixed or variable numbers of straws. The hopper is designed for distribution until the very last straw, enabling to load the exact number for each color.
The PACE consists of the straw handling system and its control box. The small footprint of the straw handling system can be placed under a laminar flow hood for use in sterile conditions.
Output is dependent on study protocol, more specifically on the number of straws per primary tube.
Technical specifications
Setup, maintenance and shutdown time are approximately 15 minutes per day. Potentially contaminated parts of the system can be cleaned with ethanol or non-corrosive decontamination fluids.
