Robotic Sample Changers

Improving Synchrotron Performance

Time on MX beamlines is a rare commodity, and samples are complex and time-consuming to prepare. Whether it is to prevent sample losses, avoid damaging expensive equipment, or keep experiments running on schedule, downtime is simply not an option.

Robotic sample changers are crucial to continuously improving synchrotron performance, for more reliable, efficient, and secure experiments.

IRELEC’s highly reliable ISARA sample changers are designed to help synchrotron facilities attract more users and run more experiments so that they can resolve more structures. Plus, with the fastest transfer time and highest storage density on the market, ISARA helps users get the most out of their time on the beamline.

From ANL (Chicago) to SSRF (Shanghai), from Alba (Barcelona) to (Melbourne), from Brookhaven to (Berlin); IRELEC is the world’s leading supplier of robotic sample changers for macromolecular beamlines. High-throughput, automated crystallography is now a reality, and data can be collected remotely. IRELEC detector handling systems, built on a proprietary calibration method and calibration algorithms, ensure unrivalled absolute positioning.

The latest generation ISARA sample changers, ISARA2, is easy to use, maintain, and upgrade with new functions like:

Visualization and detection of proper puck loading
Sample detection inside the Dewar
Automated maintenance procedures
Remote maintenance gateway for assistance and software uploading

Testimonial

IRELEC staff were very accommodating and the delivered system is excellent. They are very professional and are open to discussing changes and modifications. They get the fine balance between meeting our local needs and keeping the robot [ISARA2] reliable and stable. Overall, I am very satisfied with our interactions with Irelec.
