The Automation Partnership's Solar, Matrix Technologies' Matrix TrakMates 2D, and TekCel's Plate Management System are among products highlighted in a discussion of sample management, storage, and retrieval products that save time and provide economic benefits. The products are useful to companies that must comply with regulations mandating storage of DNA so that effects on patients during clinical trials are documented, but they also have to keep the patient's identity secret. Solar is a liquid-inventory manager for life science applications that integrates TAP storage and liquid handling technologies and is meant for managers who want to greatly increase productivity in their facilities. Matrix TrakMates barcodes sample storage in 2D so that barcodes are attached at the bottom of each tube. With Matrix TrakMates -2D, considerable information can be stored in a small footprint, and the user can track tube location by scanning barcodes. Polypropylene storage tubes are part of a full-fledged, secure compound storage system that includes robotic-friendly storage racks, advanced capping systems, and tubes that are individually marked with one of a kind 2D barcodes. Plate Management System provides walk-away automation with compound integrity through creation of a full- fledged atmosphere for storage and processing. PlateServer and PlateStore modules replace a manual library storage and retrieval process through the use of on-time plate delivered with barcoding.
