FLEX-ED24 is an automated sample changer/storage robot
This robot features a compact, rapid access LN2 Dewar, the EdgeDewar24
FLEX-ED24 is compatible with all Arinax technologies, e.g. MDS and MD3
Sample storage EdgeDewar
- Sample storage Dewar with 24 slots (unipuck), plus one slot for sample recovery
- miniSPINE/SPINE compatible with 36/16 samples per puck
- Sample and puck identification
- Ice filtering system for LN2
Sample transfer Flex
- 6 axis robot
- different types of tool heads
- Automatic tool head exchange
miniSPINE
the new generation of compact sample holders for MX crystallography
The miniSPINE sample holder is compatible with standard goniometer mounts and provides a great storage density. Compared to the SPINE design, which only allows the storage of 16 samples per puck, the miniSPINE design allows the storage of 36 samples per puck. This technology features a hight degree of identification with RFID for puck identification and QR code for sample pin identification.
