Description / Use

From an open primary sample tube, MAPI automatically fills CBS™ 0.3 or 0.5 mL straws, thermally seals both ends, prints bar codes and/or alphanumerical identification on the jacket and in-line validates the process by immediate bar code reading.

The MAPI system consists of the filling robot and its control box, a special ink-jet type printer and a PC with the MAPI pilot software. The automate is placed on a special laboratory bench at ergonomical height.

General Characteristics

The throughput of straws is fully dependent on the protocol (e.g. number of straws filled per primary tube and number of different biological products).
Setup, maintenance and shutdown: 15 minutes per day. All potentially contaminated parts can be cleaned with ethanol or non-corrosive decontamination fluids. The ink-jet printing system requires active evacuation of its solvent vapors.

MAPI Pilot Software

The MAPI pilot software is installed on the PC provided with the system to pilot the machine cycle of the MAPI system: distribution, filling, sealing, printing and re-reading of straws. The code to be printed on the straw can be either a bar code read from the primary tube, keyboard entered or programmed fixed text.
