SmaRTStore supports commercial-scale biorepository

RTS Life Science has supplied its A3 SmaRTStore as part of the commercial-scale biorepository at the Broad Institute. The Broad Institute’s Biological Samples Platform (BSP) is a sample management programme with expertise in sample storage and processing technology, procedures for the collection and use of human samples in biomedical research, histological analyses of human tissues, and the development of laboratory informatics management systems for detailed sample tracking. A poster (pictured) detailing the BSP is available from the Broad Institute website.

The automated RTS A3 SmaRTStore is used as part of a larger biorepository and enables the storage of approximately 300,000 DNA samples at –20oC and has the ability to load/retrieve 96 samples in 15 minutes, as well as to prioritise multiple picking requests. The RTS A3 SmaRTStore is a self-contained compact storage solution that provides robust and reliable 24/7 performance, high-density secure storage within a temperature-controlled environment, easy access to samples requested via the LIMS, with cherry-picking capabilities for random and fixed-order plating requests.
