Fully Automated Sample Preparation System

The ASKION C-line® system is a next-generation system for biobanks, biorepositories, and LN2-based sample collections, due to its scalability, automation capabilities, and modular design.



One of the applications of this system is the mapping of specific aspects of biobanking, including controlled freezing, sample transfer, sample storage, automation, documentation, consulting, and useful accessories.



Conversely, it is capable of the implementation of customized and unique solutions, ranging from a few to millions of samples, and from semi-automated to fully automatic processes. Biobanks/biorepositories/LN2-based sample collections can be adapted and expanded at any time without affecting the existing processes or stored samples, as a result of the modular structure.input:
