Sample Preparation
Sample preparation is a fundamental step in research across many life science applications including biobanking, diagnostics, and drug discovery. From identification to aliquoting and filling, these processes play an important role in data integrity. While some labs use manual handling, many researchers are implementing automated tube labeling, permanent tube marking, and automated aliquoting to streamline workflows. Laboratory automation systems standardize sample identification and minimize variability in liquid handling to enhance traceability and ensure accurate results.
Automate Your Sample Preparation Workflow
Improve consistency and efficiency in your sample prep workflow with solutions like automated tube labeling, permanent tube marking, automated aliquoting, and data validation.
Improve Accuracy and Ergonomics with Automated Sample Prep
- Consistent Sample Identification: Ensure clear, durable identification and apply to specific tube locations through automated tube labeling and permanent tube marking.
- Precise Aliquot Volumes: Automated aliquoting systems are equipped with precision tools for pipetting identical volumes that support accurate, reproducible results.
- Ergonomic Relief: Reduce repetitive strain from hand-labeling and pipetting by automating these high-volume sample prep tasks.

Why Labs Rely on Scinomix
Excellent instrument. Can't say enough great things about it.
We use the instrument to label 2D barcoded tubes. The software is super easy to use and configure. It is also very reliable and easy to troubleshoot if something should go wrong (which is very rare). We have been able to write many templates for labeling different types of racks and tube heights. The customer service is also excellent. We have had rapid response from Scinomix and they are always very helpful. We have also started to use it for other applications because it is so easy to use and configure.
Best machine ever that was purchased. Worth every penny!
The customer service that I receive whenever I need answers for my questions is phenomenal. They are able to help me 100% of the time and also make sure that all my questions are answered. The maintenance of the machine is very minimal and the machine is very easy to use. I get perfect labels every time and it's way better than hand labeling hundreds of cryovials for a production lab.
