Automated Sample Storage, Retrieval and Archiving for Modern Laboratories.
Bringing Industrial Automation to Sample Management!
HF SampleVault G is a custom-built automated sample storage, retrieval, and archiving system designed to seamlessly integrate into any laboratory or storage space. Built on HF’s proven Gantry robot technology, this system provides high-efficiency sample management, ensuring fast, accurate and traceable handling of laboratory samples.

Whether you need to store samples awaiting analysis, manage samples at various preparation stages, or archive long-term sample storage, HF SampleVault G ensures every sample is secure, accessible and tracked with precision.
Custom-Built for Your Laboratory
HF SampleVault G is tailored to fit any lab size or storage area and can be scaled based on the number of samples you need to store.
Versatile Sample Storage
The system efficiently stores samples in racks, managing:
- Samples awaiting analysis.
- Samples at various preparation stages.
- Analysed samples awaiting release.
- Samples stored for a fixed period.
- Long-term archived samples.
Seamless Automation and Integration
HF SampleVault G can operate as a standalone system or be fully integrated into HF’s laboratory automation solutions.
- Standalone System: Automatically retrieves samples and presents them to operators. A laser pointer can even highlight the exact sample in a rack for easy identification.
- Integrated with HF Full Automation: Samples can be automatically retrieved for reanalysis and returned to storage, eliminating the tedious process of manually locating and reinserting samples.
Eliminates the Risks of Manual Sample Retrieval
- No need for staff to climb shelves or storage units to access samples.
- Reduces the risk of accidents and repetitive strain injuries.
- Minimizes cross-contamination by eliminating unnecessary handling.
Eliminates Human Error
- Fully automated tracking ensures samples are never misplaced.
- Samples are retrieved and returned to their correct location with precision.
- Reduces errors in sample identification and processing.
Extremely Efficient Compared to Manual Handling
- Operates faster than human retrieval, increasing sample throughput.
- Works 24/7 without fatigue, ensuring a continuous and reliable workflow.
- Frees lab staff to focus on higher-value tasks instead of manual sample handling.
Built on Proven Gantry Robot Technology
Leveraging HF’s industrial Gantry robot system, HF SampleVault G ensures precision, durability, and cost-effectiveness, using high-reliability industrial automation components.
Seamless LIMS Integration
HF SampleVault G integrates smoothly with most Laboratory Information Management Systems (LIMS), enabling real-time data exchange and syncing of sample locations, processing status, and retention periods. This ensures full system interoperability and streamlines lab operations.
Automated Sample Disposal & Shredding
HF SampleVault G can be linked to an automated sample disposal module, allowing samples to be securely discarded after analysis. With optional integration of HF Bottle & Test Tube Shredders, containers can also be automatically destroyed, supporting compliance and laboratory safety protocols.
LABDroid Software for Full Sample Tracking
HF’s powerful LABDroid software provides a detailed audit trail of all sample movements, automating traceability and ensuring compliance. Integrated with LIMS and lab hardware, it allows users to instantly locate, retrieve, and track every sample—no matter how large the archive.
