Weigh, image, mark.
You choose.
MultiVial is a live project currently in product exploration phase. The concept is based around a vial weighing and laser marking platform, however the technology can offer further capability. The product exploration phase provides an exciting opportunity for potential buyers to provide feedback to help us discover challenges and solutions for a broader scope of analytical processes.
Help us forge the final roadmap. How can MultiVial optimise your workflow?
MultiVial is a configurable system which offers fast and efficient processing of vials. The concept is based around weighing, vial imaging, marking or labelling, or a combination.
Handling glass and plastic vials from 1ml - 50ml, the platform can process up to ten SBS racks of mixed vials in one run. It can be dropped into any existing workflow owing to its collaborative arm and compact size. MultiVial’s open REST API enables seamless integration with other devices, and easy access to your data.
MultiVial’s collaborative design allows technicians to work safely in the same space. With an intuitive and simple interface, minimal training is required for new users. Weigh to an accuracy of up to 5 d.p. and mark up to 960 1ml vials or 60 50ml vials, or any combination in the same run.
Smart rack detection technology automatically detects the presence of racks as the user places them onto the instrument
- Priority selection allows the user to prioritise a particular rack
- Integrated antistatic bars and draft shield allow the balance to tare quickly for efficient weighing
Vial imaging can provide essential data for research and quality purposes in all areas of chemistry and materials science. Depending on the vial type and material, owing to an integrated line scan camera and rotary vial holder, the MultiVial system can capture crucial data for further analysis purposes such as vial fill volume, precipitate analysis, solid residue analysis and liquid phase separation.
The camera can be used to photograph a cross section the vial, image from below, or take a continuous image of the entire inner surface of the vial which is automatically stitched into one image.
- Vial fill volume
- Precipitate analysis
- Solid residue analysis
- Liquid phase separation
- Laser marking removes the need for inks and tedious/costly consumables by permanently etching the surface with numbers, bar codes or QR codes
- A line scan camera is used to automatically detect the marking area
- The system handles glass and plastic vials/tubes
