Prior to implementing NOVAFlex STAS, EGL relied on a labor-intensive manual process for sample tracking and archiving, which not only consumed valuable lab space but also caused stress and fatigue among lab personnel. In addition, traditional archiving solutions often required extensive redesigns or additional construction to increase capacity, further straining resources and budgets. NOVAFlex STAS revolutionized EGL’s sample tracking and archiving processes by providing a streamlined, automated solution with a small footprint. The system sorts and archives tested samples in custom trays with an easy numbering system, allowing for rapid retrieval of samples upon request. The compact design of NOVAFlex STAS enables 3x more samples to be archived per hour compared to other solutions on the market, while also allowing full flexibility in terms of space utilization.
