HomeBase
is a narrow aisle automated store for management
of biological and chemical sample libraries. |
| |
The system draws on TAP Biosystems
extensive experience in sample management
and is installed at major sites worldwide
in applications such as DNA and compound
storage, as well as protein crystallography. |
| |
Installation sites include
Bristol-myers
Squibb, Abbot
Laboratories, and Pfizer
in the USA as well as Europe’s leading
protein structure facilities – the
Max Planck
Institute for Molecular Genetics
(Berlin, Germany) and the Wellcome
Trust Centre for Human Genetics (Oxford,
England). |

- Archive and working storage of multiple
vessel types - plates, tubes and vials
- Random access retrieval and in-store
re-arraying of vessels
- Picking based on user defined priority
and required-by date
- Single shot sample handling using
PicoTube
- Barcode tracking of trays, carriers
and vessels
- Environmental control (temperatures
from above ambient down to -20°C
and controlled relative humidity)
- Interfacing with user’s ordering
systems or LIMS such as TAP’s
Concerto software

- Optimum use of laboratory space -
densest vessel storage available
- Improved response times to requests
from researcher eg assembly of library
sets “on demand” according
to an agreed SLA
- Extremely high throughput, up to
100,000 vessel movements per day, to
support focussed screens and dynamic
library creation
- Reliable, unattended operation increases
researcher productivity
- Sample quality maintained by rigorously-controlled
storage conditions
- Flexible racking to accommodate changes
in stored inventory over time
- Simple data interface ensures straightforward
implementation into a range of environments
from a standalone store to an additional
element for an established facility
- Well developed control software which
reacts dynamically to orders of different
priority, interleaves retrieval and
storage for optimum efficiency, and
eliminates the need for defragmentation
to provide maximum store availability
