HomeBase
is a narrow aisle automated store for management
of biological and chemical sample libraries. |
| |
The system draws on TAP’s
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
