X-pedition Sample Management: from sample handling to traceability, control over every step

You collect a sample, store it in, for example, a freezer or incubator, monitor and analyze it, collect the data, and ultimately destroy the sample. In practice, this process is much more complex. Therefore, the participating companies of the X provide guidance.‑pedition Sample Management guides you step by step through the entire process. This makes sample management clearer and simpler for you.

During this X-pedition, you will follow a route past six stands, where each participant highlights a different aspect of sample management. By actively participating, you will gain insight into the entire sample lifecycle and discover the possibilities for automation.

Smarter automation for worry-free sample traceability

Proper sample identification is the foundation of reliable laboratory work. In the NBS Scientific step, you will discover how the automated laser marker offers a reliable alternative to traditional tube labeling. The laser marker eliminates the problems associated with physical labels and ensures reliable marking of information on the sample tubes.

RFID in shipping

When working with large numbers of samples, identification can be very time-consuming. Salm & Kipp demonstrates how RFID technology significantly accelerates and simplifies the scanning process. Instead of scanning each sample individually, you gain insight into present or missing samples all at once. This means less manual work and a more efficient sampling process.

From Sample to Insight: End-to-End Traceability in Practice

Wega-it presents an integrated demonstration of modern sample handling and traceability. You follow a sample from -70°C storage and identification (barcode/RFID) through to processing and analysis. The greatest challenge here lies not in the individual technologies, but in the interplay between them. In practice, these steps often function as separate solutions, leading to inefficiency and limited traceability. In a live demo, we scan a sample, after which the entire lifecycle becomes immediately visible in an integrated data analysis environment: from location and status to all performed actions and analysis results.

Faster. Easier. Compliant.

Manual sample preparation is often time-consuming, repetitive, and prone to errors. During the step in the PMT Benelux X-pedition, you will discover how JetX™ completely transforms this process. By automating and accelerating sample preparation, you work more efficiently and reliably, without the use of traditional glassware.

Discover the Scala SMART-RACKS – always a grip on your samples

Never search for valuable samples in your (ULT) freezers again? In this step, you will discover how advanced RFID technology provides real-time insight into the exact location of every sample, from rack, box, and position levels. By eliminating manual checks, you work faster and with less risk of error, even under extreme temperature conditions in ULT freezers.
