Weigh, image and mark glass and plastic vials
MultiVial is a vial handling and analysis platform, capable of three key lab processes - weighing, marking/identification and imaging both glass and plastic vials. The platform is configurable to include or exclude the modules as required.Accessible and collaborative.
MultiVial is a configurable system which offers fast and efficient processing of vials. The concept is based around weighing, vial imaging and marking or a combination. Handling glass and plastic vials from 1ml - 50ml, the platform can process up to nine 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.Laser marking
Laser etching labware is historically problematic and inconsistent. MultiVial’s laser etching capability has been fine tuned and tested to quickly and consistently mark a range of glass or plastic vial types. With configurable marking options, the system is capable of laser etching directly onto the vial to suit your upstream processes.- 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 borosilicate glass and plastic vials/tubes
- Compatible with Micronic, Azenta (FluidX), Thermo Fisher (Matrix) and many more
Accurate and intuitive weighing
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 864 1ml vials or a combination of sizes 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
Vial imaging can provide essential data for research and quality purposes in all areas of chemistry and materials science. 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, or take a continuous image of the entire inner surface of the vial.- Vial fill volume
- Precipitate detection
- Solid residue detection
- Liquid phase separation

“I've been working in the field of biosensors for 30 years, and microsystems for over 20. Labman have developed this instrumentation that truly makes everything automated – I’ve seen it again and again, it literally is sample in, result out. I’ve worked together with many, many companies over the years and no one has been able to achieve this.” — Ciara O'SullivanICREA Research Professor
