Advanced Verification & Validation
The Acoustic model comes equipped with the IntelliXcheck verification module. This integrated rack vision system uses advanced imaging algorithms to detect the presence of caps both before and after the decapping or recapping process. When paired with Azenta Decoding Software, it provides a complete audit trail for tube processing, essential for high-value compound management.
Key Benefits
Echo® Qualified
Specifically designed and validated for use with Azenta Life Sciences Acoustic Sample Tubes, ensuring seamless integration into acoustic liquid handling workflows.
Modular Cartridges
Features a fully automated, interchangeable cartridge system. Drivers can be swapped in less than 2 minutes to accommodate different tube types without specialist tools.
Precision Control
Electric torque control ensures consistent sealing without persistent wear on cap drivers, operated via a user-friendly touch panel interface.
Acoustic Workflow & Process Validation
Frequently asked questions regarding the IntelliXcap™ Acoustic model, focusing on Echo® qualified consumable compatibility, cycle speeds, and integrated cap verification.
The IntelliXcap Acoustic is specifically engineered and validated for use with Azenta Life Sciences Acoustic Sample Tubes (Echo® Qualified Consumables). These tubes are designed for acoustic liquid handling applications.
The integrated IntelliXcheck verification module uses an internal camera system to image the tube rack before and after operation. It detects the presence or absence of caps to validate that the decapping or recapping process was successful for every tube.
The system is highly efficient, capable of decapping or recapping a full 96-format rack in approximately 20 to 40 seconds, depending on the specific mode and validation settings.
Yes. When paired with the optional Azenta Decoding Software, the internal camera can decode the 2D data matrix codes on the bottom of the tubes, providing a complete audit trail that links sample ID to cap status.
es. While this unit comes configured for Acoustic tubes, the drivers are part of a modular cartridge system. This allows the hardware to be reconfigured for other tube types in under 2 minutes if laboratory needs change.
