We use the instrument for labeling tubes and rearraying. It is very effective and we have had very few issues with it. It's a great instrument.
Labeling up to 400 cryovials was not only a time consuming process but it also greatly increased the risk of developing conditions such as RSI. Once the protocols had been set up you pretty much have to click about 5 buttons and upload a worklist and come back an hour or so later to ~600 labeled tubes. Scinomix is always quick to respond to emails and are happy to remote into the software whilst video calling to have a look at any issues they can. The value for money is not only measured in time saved labeling but also the long term health implications of not labeling so many vials it really makes it worth it.
The VX2 does a wonderful and consistent job of placing labels on the tubes. There is very little upkeep with the maintenance. The results of the labels printed are high quality with reproducible results. I rated this the highest for instrument automation due to the fact of how solid the instrument is without any down time. The service/sales team are very knowledgeable and very kind individuals there, always a pleasure to speak with them over the phone if I ever contact them.
