A semi-automatic system for packaging of biological samples in CBS™ High Security straws
Description/Use
From an open primary sample tube, PACE automatically fills and heatseals both ends of pre-identified 0.3 ml or 0.5 ml type CBS™ straws.
CBS™ PACE system is the packaging system for sperm banks ideal or large-size studies with defined protocols. PACE uses CBS™ straws that are pre-identified with bar codes and/or alphanumerical codes. The hopper can distribute different colors of straws (plug color or jacket color with alpha-numerical identification) consecutively.
Different blood or sperm products from the same individual may be processed in a pre-defined order with the same filling nozzle.
The PACE system consists of the straw distribution and filling unit and its control box.
General specifications
PACE machine cycle steps:
- Hopper feeding sample straws individually,
- Manual positioning of primary sample tube and filling tubing,
- Straw filling by suction with built-in pumps (precision 480 ± 10 µl),
- Controlled thermal autogenic sealing at both ends of straw,
- Manual transfer of straws to their storage-address (visotube and goblet), which can be allocated by storage management software (except for A.R.T. applications).
The throughput of straws is fully dependent on the protocol (e.g. number of straws filled per primary tube and the number of different biological products).
Setup, maintenance and shutdown: 15 minutes per day.
All potentially contaminated parts can be cleaned with ethanol or noncorrosive decontamination fluids.
The PACE system can be placed on the laboratory bench or under laminar flow with sterile straws and filling tubing and only needs power supply.
