RTS Life Science Plans To Launch Tube Auditor With Vision Technology

RTS Life Science plans to launch its Tube Auditor instrument. The Tube Auditor features vision technology (patent pending), which allows fast and accurate volume measurement of samples, and is targeted at the compound management, high throughput screening and bio-banking marketplace. RTS Life Science will unveil this new instrument on booth 644 at LabAutomation 2010, which will take place at the Palm Springs Convention Center, Palm Springs, CA from January 23-27, 2010.

The RTS Tube Auditor is a bench-top instrument suitable for manual operation or integration into automated systems. It enables fast and accurate measurement of sample volumes and the detection of precipitate in sample tubes. Its vision technology allows a full 96-way SBS tube rack to be audited in less than 2 minutes. The RTS Tube Auditor ensures complete sample safety and avoids the potential for sample degradation.

During LabAutomation 2010, RTS Life Science will be hosting a workshop in collaboration with Microsonics Systems. The workshop, entitled ‘See and Hear how Vision and Acoustic Technology Could save $$$ in Your Screening and Library Collection,’ will highlight how two complementary technologies can minimise poor quality screening and improve results by finding and then correcting solubility issues within compound libraries. With a focus on the new Tube Auditor and its vision technology, and how Microsonics use ultrasonic energy to re-solubilise compounds, this workshop is sure to be of great interest.

In addition, RTS Life Science will present two new posters at LabAutomation 2010. One of these posters, entitled ‘Improving Screening Results Using Vision Technology’, will demonstrate the many benefits of using RTS vision technology to routinely and accurately audit sample tubes.
