Meet all four systems live at Hall B1 | Booth 206 and discover how HTI Automation goes Beyond Tube Handling — from entry-level automation to fully integrated modular lab solutions.

X-TubeProcessor®

Smart 2.0

Dispensing, Capping & Labeling in One System

The compact 3-in-1 solution for regulated laboratory environments. Designed for reproducible reagent filling, tube processing and applications requiring less hands-on time, increased walkaway capacity and traceable, controlled workflows.

Why Smart 2.0 is the next step in modern lab automation:

  • Full process automation in <1 m of space:
    Dispensing, capping and labelling for 0.5–15 ml tubes & vials – with up to 370 tubes/h.
  • Workflow control supporting GxP requirements:
    X-Control with audit trail, role-based access, TwinCode barcode logic and seamless LIMS/ERP integration.
  • Higher productivity, lower labour load:
    Long walkaway times, barcode-driven decisions and highly reproducible, standardised processes.

X-TubeProcessor®

Sign

Automated Tube & Vial Labeling

Flexible and consistent labelling for a wide range of tubes and vials – ideal for sample tracking, QC workflows, stability studies and documentation in regulated environments.

Why the Sign is a must-see for pharma & biotech labs:

  • Error-free sample identification:
    Automated 600 dpi labelling ensures consistent traceability for R&D, QC and stability samples.
  • Audit-ready documentation:
    Standardised labelling supports GMP/GLP-relevant workflows and reduces risk of mislabelling.
  • Maximum reliability for long-term storage:
    Durable labels help maintain data integrity across stability and retain samples.

X-TubeProcessor®

Basic

Efficient entry into automated tube processing

When manual screwing processes consume time and strain laboratory staff, the X-TubeProcessor®_Basic provides a reliable and economical solution. The system automates the screwing and opening of microscrew tubes and ensures consistent, reproducible performance.

Why Basic is the first step toward reliable tube automation:

  • Automated screwing and opening of microscrew tubes
    Manual cap application is no longer necessary. Torque control as well as tube and cap presence control ensure stable processing.
  • Improved operational reliability
    Integrated functionalities for process stabilization reduce error sources in routine workflows.
  • Expandable when requirements grow
    A labeling module and band module can further increase walkaway time.

X-TubeProcessor®

Flex

Modular laboratory automation for complex workflows

The X-TubeProcessor®_Flex combines fully automated tube and liquid handling within a scalable modular concept. Designed for laboratories and production environments requiring high integration capability and reliable traceability.

Why Flex enables fully automated tube and liquid handling at scale:

  • Fully automated tube and liquid handling
    Capping and decapping screw tubes, dosing, pipetting and dispensing liquids, labeling and barcode identification — integrated into configurable system layouts.
  • Seamless integration
    Connection to LIMS and ERP enables transparent processes and real-time status information.
  • Maximum walkaway time
    Automatic tube and cap feeding, Rack Storage and solutions for sterile applications equipped with HEPA filters and laminar flow.
