Lab Desk Test Tube Receiving Station

Bringing Industrial Automation to Your Laboratory!

Streamlined, Ergonomic Test Tube Delivery for Laboratory Efficiency.

The HF Lab Desk Test Tube Receiving Station is a sophisticated solution designed to deliver labelled or unlabeled test tubes directly to lab technicians on demand. Mounted on the laboratory bench, this aesthetically pleasing station not only complements the modern lab environment but also offers robust and corrosion-proof construction for long-lasting performance.

Lab Desk Test Tube Receiving Station

Effortless and Ergonomic Operation

The receiving station is designed with ergonomics in mind, ensuring that test tubes are presented in a way that minimizes effort and strain for the operator. As soon as a test tube is removed, the system automatically delivers the next tube to maintain a seamless workflow.

By integrating with Laboratory Information Management Systems (LIMS), the station ensures accurate delivery and traceability of test tubes when required. This automation reduces manual handling and improves operational efficiency, allowing technicians to focus on critical tasks.

The HF Lab Desk Test Tube Receiving Station is connected to the HF Test Tube Sorter and HF Air Sending Stations, creating a centralized and highly efficient test tube distribution network. Additional features include:

  • Built-In Label Printer (Optional):
    The station can be equipped with an integrated label printer for on-demand labelling of test tubes.
  • Pre-Labelled Tube Delivery:
    Labelled test tubes can also be sent directly from the HF Test Tube Sorter and Label Printer for immediate use.

This versatility ensures the system adapts to the specific requirements of each lab bench, whether for labelled or unlabelled test tubes.
