SAM HD Automated Low-Capacity Sample Management SAM HD is an automated sample management system for secure storage of tubes and plates at -80°C. This compact, localized storage system easily fits into existing laboratory spaces. Additionally, users can increase storage capacity to store more samples in the same footprint using RackWare high-density storage racks. To maintain sample integrity, the system eliminates heat and moisture from entering the system, which can cause freeze-thaw cycles. The active automation is separated from the sample storage compartment so that heat does not affect the...
