An effective way to streamline your lab workflow
The X-TubeProcessor®_Basic automates routine tube handling processes for laboratories seeking a simple introduction to laboratory automation. By automating the opening and closing of micro screw tubes, the system reduces manual workload while ensuring reliable and reproducible results.
Featuring an integrated cap feeder and a precise rotary gripper system, the X-TubeProcessor®_Basic automatically screws and unscrews micro screw tubes with controlled torque application for consistent closing forces and reduced handling errors.
Compatible with micro screw tubes from top brands, the system offers a flexible and scalable solution for everyday tube processing applications. Its modular platform design allows laboratories to expand automation capabilities with optional labeling, sorting, and rack handling modules as requirements evolve.
Increase consistency and reduce manual processing time
The X-TubeProcessor®_Basic by HTI automates repetitive tube handling tasks with minimal system complexity, making it an ideal entry point into laboratory automation. Designed for reliable screwing and unscrewing of micro screw tubes, the system improves workflow efficiency while ensuring consistent, torque-controlled capping results.
In its standard configuration, the system processes 1 rack with up to 96 tubes or 2 SBS racks with 48 tubes each. To increase walk-away time and reduce operator intervention, the X-TubeProcessor®_Basic can be expanded with a band module, enabling continuous processing of up to 6 racks.
To support reliable operation, the system includes integrated monitoring and control functions such as torque control, tube presence detection, cap verification, and rack space detection. These features help minimize handling errors and ensure stable, repeatable performance during routine processing.
Flexible expansion for traceability and growing laboratory needs
For laboratories requiring sample traceability, the system can be equipped with an optional labeling module for customized tube labeling with variable data.
Label layouts can be created using dedicated software and transferred via:
The X-TubeProcessor®_Basic is designed as a compact and scalable platform, allowing laboratories to start with essential automation and expand functionality over time without replacing the base system.
This makes it well suited for environments requiring flexible, stepwise automation of manual capping processes.
The X-TubeProcessor®_Basic can (de)cap different tube types. Caps are pre-loaded via a bulk cap feeder and tubes are placed into racks before starting.
The X-TubeProcessor®_Basic reliably traces tubes by scanning and reading barcodes on tubes and racks according to system requirements.
The X-TubeProcessor®_Basic can label tubes with identical or unique content, which can be added with the control panel or via a database connectivity.
The X-TubeProcessor®_Basic allows for a small to medium throughput. With an extendable module, up to 7 racks can be processed simultaneously.
