Foundation of our standardization process.
Application Area: Serum aliquoting (QC pools, whole units, and calibrators)
"The Scinomix Sci-Print VX2 is the only instrument on the market capable of handling such a high throughput. The synchronicity of the aliquoting process with the labeling mechanisation facilitates what could be a laborious task. Saving time and money, this instrument is a cornerstone of our standardization programs. The one downside being troubleshooting. If you can learn your way around the machine you'll have a better time ensuring your VX2 remains active."

Good machine and consistent.
Application Area:Manufacturing of assays
"The VX2 has sped up our manufacturing 10 fold. There is moderate optimization to pick up and drop tubes as well as calibrate the suspension. Once the machine if fully calibrated operation is smooth."

Great addition to the lab freeing up people's time to use it for more important tasks.
Application Area:Labeling of clinical samples
"The system is very reliable but needs regular maintenance. The versatility is high but comes with a certain complication needing trained personnel."

Great instrument, cant live without it in our labs.
Application Area:Sample Tube Labeling
"The Scinomix VX2 is a versatile and easy to use tube labeler. It can handle almost any tube type with the use of swappable heads(now with a universal head which makes it even easier). They can make tube racks for almost any tube type. They offer a variety of various labels depending on your needs, and the software is easy to use. The system itself is reliable as long as it is maintained properly."

Great asset for bulk preparation storage.
Application Area:Labelling bulk prepared bioanalytical critical reagent aliquots for regulated assays
"Eases the burden of storing bulk preparations. Gone are the days of time consuming hand written tube labels that inevitably become illegible. Easy to use. Consistent performance. Captures all relevant reagent information on an easy to read label affixed automatically while you are preparing the reagent. A real time saver."

Where has this system been all my lab life! No more manual labeling.
Application Area:Laboratory Automation
"This product is great for a range of tubes. Labeling is always consistent and simple to set up using worklists or the simple user interface. Support for the hardware and software has been great. The videos provided are excellent for upkeep and maintenance of the system. We as a company would love to have a universal gripper tool available. This has is already preventing us from integrating a Scinomix system onto robotic carts."

Can't imagine going back to before we had one.
Application Area:Tube labeling, filling and sorting
"We downsized the number of people working in our area but the workload was the same, with the Scinomix we were able to label, fill and sort tubes faster than before, more accurately and with fewer people. We have come to depend on the instrument so much we have purchased another as if it goes down, it would be hard to keep up with the production levels that we currently have."

Valuable piece of equipment and true time saver.
Application Area:Labeling and scanning of tubes for cryo storage
"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."

Good product, but not all business needs are completely met
Application Area:Autolabeling of Sample Tubes
"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."

Our work would suffer if we did not have this automation
Application Area:Clinical testing
"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."

I would not advise this product to others.

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

Laboratory Work Horse!
Application Area:Fluidx Tube labeling
"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."

Reliable results. Real work horse.
Application Area:Filling and capping cryovials
"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."

Excellent instrument. Can't say enough great things about it.
Application Area:Labeling 2D barcoded tubes
"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."

Application Area:Labeling sample tubes
"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."
