Tube Processors

Tube Processors

HTI’s X-TubeProcessor® series provides automated laboratory solutions for tube handling, labeling, capping, and dispensing workflows. Designed for reliability, flexibility, and reproducibility, the systems reduce manual handling while improving traceability, consistency, and workflow efficiency in modern laboratories.

The X-TubeProcessor® range includes modular and scalable platforms, from entry-level automation to fully integrated multi-process systems, enabling laboratories to adapt automation to their specific needs.

X-TubeProcessor®_Sign

The X-TubeProcessor®_Sign is an automated labeling system designed for high-quality identification of tubes and vials across a wide range of formats (0.5 ml to 50 ml).

Featuring an adaptive gripper system and a 600 dpi print module, the Sign ensures precise and durable labeling of glass and plastic containers, including cryovials, HPLC vials, and FACS tubes. Mixed-format processing is supported without manual changeover.

The X-TubeProcessor®_Sign:

  • Supports tubes and vials from approx. 0.5–50 ml
  • Uses an adaptive gripper system for flexible tube handling
  • Delivers high-resolution labeling at 600 dpi
  • Supports SBS and custom rack formats
  • Integrates via REST API into LIMS and ERP systems
  • Enables full traceability with TwinCode identification
