PACE automatically fills and thermally seals a user defined number of straws from a primary sample tube. Both CBS™ High Security 0.3 mL and 0.5 mL straws with standard plug can be used with PACE, either pre-identified or just before ID printing with SIDE. Sample is filled into the straw with a disposable filling nozzle at the open end and an aspiration nozzle at the plug end of the straw.

Tamper proof ink-jet printed straws packaged in sets of study-specific color combinations are available on request from Cryo Bio System. Filled blank straws can also be printed in the laboratory with a SIDE printing system.

PACE is the packaging system for laboratories with large aliquoting and storage programs, with fixed or variable numbers of straws. The hopper is designed for distribution until the very last straw, enabling to load the exact number for each color.

The PACE consists of the straw handling system and its control box. The small footprint of the straw handling system can be placed under a laminar flow hood for use in sterile conditions.

Output is dependent on study protocol, more specifically on the number of straws per primary tube.
