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.<\/strong>\u2011<\/strong>pedition Sample Management guides you step by step through the entire process. This makes sample management clearer and simpler for you.<\/strong><\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

Smarter automation for worry-free sample traceability<\/h4>\n

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.<\/p>\n

RFID in shipping<\/h4>\n

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.<\/p>\n

From Sample to Insight: End-to-End Traceability in Practice<\/h4>\n

Wega-it presents an integrated demonstration of modern sample handling and traceability. You follow a sample from -70\u00b0C 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.<\/p>\n

Faster. Easier. Compliant.<\/h4>\n

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\u2122 completely transforms this process. By automating and accelerating sample preparation, you work more efficiently and reliably, without the use of traditional glassware.<\/p>\n

Discover the Scala SMART-RACKS \u2013 always a grip on your samples<\/h4>\n

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.<\/p>\n

Sustainable Sample Management for a Cleaner Lab<\/h4>\n

Laboratories worldwide produce approximately 5.5 million tonnes of plastic waste annually. Tube racks and cryogenic boxes constitute a large part of this. One of the developments in this area is the use of materials that are compostable and recyclable. These solutions are being developed to withstand extreme conditions, such as very low temperatures, while remaining suitable for modern laboratory processes, including automation and traceability via, for example, barcoding. In this way, every sample contributes to a better environment.<\/p>\n

The X-peditions are available to follow every day of the trading week. Register now<\/a> for a visit to the exhibition and participation in the X-pedition and view the program<\/a> for more interesting activities.<\/em><\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n
