Meet both systems live at Booth 1532 and experience how SIGN and Smart 2.0 support accuracy, consistency and efficiency in modern laboratory operations

X-TubeProcessor®

Smart 2.0

Dispensing, Capping & Labelling 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 Labelling

Flexible and consistent labelling for a wide range of tubes and vials — ideal for R&D 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.
