Manchester, UK – RTS Life Science, a worldwide supplier of automated sample management and pharmaceutical testing systems, is pleased to announce a series of new software features that have been added to the RTS Tube Auditor™.

The only high speed, non-contact solution for volume measurement and precipitate detection for drug discovery and biobanking applications, the RTS Tube Auditor™ improves screening quality, reduces costs and saves time enabling screening and sample management groups to increase efficiency and improve their understanding of the quality of their samples.

New software features added to the system include: the introduction of a simple 4-step wizard-based calibration process which not only makes calibration easier and quicker but also improves the visibility of the resultant calibration and accuracy; additional user configurability options to improve audit traceability and ease LIMS integration and; improved tube type auditing allowing discrimination between empty or missing tubes and support for tubes containing mixing beads.

RTS Tube Auditor™ is a bench-top instrument suitable for manual operation or integration into automated systems. Its high speed vision technology allows a full 96-way SBS tube rack to be audited in less than 2 minutes and unlike other automated solutions, Tube Auditor ensures complete sample safety and avoids the potential for sample degradation as there is no need to de-cap tubes during the auditing process. The additional software functionality recently added to the Tube Auditor further enhances the fastest, most efficient and cost effective method of measuring liquid volume and detecting sample precipitate available.
