Scientific research in areas such as infectious disease and genetics often involves processing hundreds of samples a day, with researchers spending hours on tedious manual steps including decapping and recapping sample tubes. To address this pain point and accelerate sample processing workflows, Thermo Fisher Scientific introduced a new automated sample transfer system that can process 192 saliva or nasopharyngeal samples from tube to well in 40 minutes.
The Thermo Scientific KingFisher SpeciTRAX Sample Transfer System’s* advanced robotics technology reduces the processing bottleneck in sample handling to increase throughput. Integrating the system as part of a sample processing workflow removes time-consuming manual steps including decapping, recapping and sample tracking, enabling researchers to spend less time on sample handling and more time on advancing scientific discovery.
Thermo Fisher unveiled the KingFisher SpeciTRAX Sample Transfer System at the SLAS2022 International Conference & Exhibition in Boston Feb. 5-9. The system is available for early access and will be globally available in early 2022.
