Biological
sample management - Solar |
| |
Biological
sample management underpins all areas of research
and the need to handle large and increasing numbers
of samples. Critical factors in biological sample
management include storage conditions and the
ability to track and retrieve samples to GLP standards.
Full traceability is essential especially in a
regulated environment, for example for consented
samples for clinical trials. |
| |
Solar
is a complete biological sample management and
liquid inventory management system for samples
held in liquid format. It fully integrates TAP’s
established storage and liquid handling technologies
and is the ideal solution for inventory managers
seeking to maximise the productivity of their
facilities.

Biological sample management
system Solar, has been installed at a number of
leading pharmaceutical companies, including GlaxoSmithKline,
Novartis
and Procter &
Gamble. |
| Solar
automates: |
| |
- Biological sample management
- Storage, retrieval and processing, including
in-store arraying of randomly accessed vessels
- Generation of any type of output plate eg
compressions, expansions or mixtures
- Liquid transfers down to tens of nanolitres
- Controlled thawing of retrieved samples
- Marshalling of empty labware
- Collation and labelling of completed orders
- Plate piercing and sealing
- Tube capping and decapping
- Inert gas purging
- Order scheduling and Materials Routing
- Full process tracking and automatic fulfilment
|

TAP’s proprietary
inventory management software,
Concerto,
is supplied with Solar, eliminating the need for
additional purchases or internal systems development.
The software can be extended as required to control
not only the operation of the Solar but also peripheral
processes and external inventory, including manual
stores and third party workstations. |
