High-Throughput Identification
Fully Automated Laser Marking for Large Sample Batches
The Lambda768 is an automated laser marking system engineered for high-volume laboratories. Featuring a deck that accommodates up to eight 96-well format racks, it allows for the unattended marking of up to 768 tubes in a single cycle. The system utilizes the same permanent laser technology as the manual models, ensuring that 2D codes and text remain legible under extreme storage conditions without the use of labels or ink.
Key Features
Versatile Laser Engraving
Engrave clear and highly resistant information directly onto the tube surface, including shapes, logos, texts, codes, and batch IDs. Markings withstand extreme temperatures from +100°C to -196°C, chemicals and abrasion.
Automation Ready
Designed for seamless integration into automated laboratory workflows. The side panel can be removed to accommodate robotic arm access for continuous, hands-free operation.
Intuitive Control
The system features an integrated internal processing unit and computer, providing optimal and user-friendly control over the marking process without requiring an external PC.
Sustainable Operation
Environmentally Friendly and Low Maintenance Marking
By utilizing laser technology, the Lambda768 eliminates the need for consumables such as ink and physical labels. This not only reduces operational costs but also minimizes waste and environmental impact associated with consumable production and disposal. The system produces no harmful emissions or chemical waste. With fewer moving parts than traditional labeling machines, the laser marker ensures maximum uptime, low maintenance requirements, and higher overall lab productivity.
Implementation of Automated Marking Workflows
Frequently asked questions regarding the integration of the Lambda768 into high-throughput automated environments.
The system includes a comprehensive software suite that supports seamless data transfer from your LIMS. This allows for the automated generation of 2D codes and text based on existing database records, minimizing manual entry errors.
While speeds vary based on the complexity of the mark, the Lambda768 is optimized for high-throughput. It can process up to 768 tubes in a single "load-and-go" run, significantly reducing the labor hours required compared to manual labeling or marking.
Yes, to maintain a clean laboratory environment and protect the precision optics of the laser, an external air filtration system is required to capture and filter any microscopic particles generated during the marking process.
The deck is designed to accommodate up to 8 SBS-format racks. The software can be configured to apply specific marking templates to different racks within the same session, providing flexibility for diverse sample batches.
The marking process is localized to the surface of the labware. Because the laser interaction is extremely brief and targeted, there is no significant heat transfer to the interior of the tube, ensuring that sensitive biological samples remain stable.
