MAPI

From a primary tube, MAPI automatically fills, seals, prints out and validates the identification of CBS 0.3 or 0.5 mL straws (bar code or alphanumerical data). MAPI features a filling robot, a control unit, a special liquid nitrogen ink-jet type printer and a PC with the MAPI pilot software. The robot is placed on a special lab bench at ergonomical height. The straw throughput is fully protocol-dependent (number of primary tubes and number of straws per primary tube). Start, maintenance and shutdown time: 15 minutes per day. All potentially contaminated parts can be cleaned with an alcohol-based solution or a non-corrosive surface decontamination agent.   The ink-jet printer requires active extraction of its solvent vapors. MAPI pilot software The MAPI pilot software is installed on the PC provided with MAPI to control the cycle: dispensing, filling, sealing, printing and re-reading of straws. The code printed on the straw can be either a bar code on the primary tube, keyboard entered or programmed fixed text.
