Hi All,
I am looking for feedback on tubes laser engraving instruments, in particular:
- Scinomix * SmartScribe
- AFYS3G * Lambda768 and Lambda576
- LVL * Safe(R) tube laser marker
Aiming to engrave the cryo tubes before they are used on the bench and frozen. The tubes are biobanking 1mL FluidX . We are excluding ink based instruments.
The main questions at the moment:
- Cost
- Reliability
- Tubes it can handle
- What maintenance requires
- Data integration ready?
- Does it include tube bc reader for tube’s native bottom 2d barcodes?
- Software features: can jobs be scheduled and run based on priority? Can it be paused to remove already etched racks?
Any other feedback or lab references are welcomed too.
I am based in Australia and there is no lab here with any of these devices, that we know of, hence asking globally.
