Sci-Print VX2 Automated Tube Handler by Scinomix

"The VX-2 is a reliable and robust piece of equipment which needs a little bit of attention now and then in terms of cleaning and maintenance. The company is permanently expanding the system with new add-ons and better software. The system is routinely used in our lab by many people and they like it."

"I think there is room for improvement. Although the Scinomix VX2 offers a great approach as an alternative to hand-labeling, there are limitations with this unit. Our business need requirements encompass using a variation of tube sizes. The configurations of the arm and fingers are not ideal for switching from size to size."

"The VX2 does a wonderful and consistent job of placing labels on the tubes. There is very little upkeep with the maintenance. The results of the labels printed are high quality with reproducible results. I rated this the highest for instrument automation do to the fact of how solid the instrument is without any down time. The service/sales team are very knowledgeable and very kind individuals there, always a pleasure to speak with them over the phone if I ever contact them."

"This product is not robust. It breaks down regularly. We were completely oversold the flexibility for different tube types."

"We label thousands of tubes every single day and without this labeler, our lab would not be able to fulfill the stringent requirements of our clients. This instrument GETS THE JOB DONE. When there is an issue or mechanical fault, Scinomix has the talented field staff to get it operational immediately."

"We purchased this machine to alleviate the repetitive motion injuries we were seeing when we aliquoted, capped and labeled over 200,000 tubes per year. It has been very reliable and the support has been immediate when we call for help. Very few problems have been seen and most have been solved with just a call. We have been very satisfied with the use of the Sci-Print VX2 and continue to use it continuously every day."

"We use the instrument for labeling tubes and rearraying. It is very effective and we have had very few issues with it. It's a great instrument."

"We use the instrument to label 2D barcoded tubes. The software is super easy to use and configure. It is also very reliable and easy to troubleshoot if something should go wrong (which is very rare). We have been able to write many templates for labeling different types of racks and tube heights. The customer service is also excellent. We have had rapid response from Scinomix and they are always very helpful. We have also started to use it for other applications because it is so easy to use and configure."

"Our lab had a throughput of more than 30,000 tubes in four months and the printer did not have a single breakdown during this period. The service during installation and routine work is outstanding. The software leaves a lot of freedom for genuine processes. Once you have adapted it to your workflow this product is of great value."

"after a thorough evaluation of tube labellers, we chose scinomix. their device met all of our requirements. we have automated tube labelling in two major areas within our laboratory, resulting in major time and cost savings."
