Vending Machine Style Design for Convenient Sample Retrieval
The simple and convenient vending machine design allows easy and secure sample access. The ability to recover only requested microvials eliminates unnecessary freeze/thaw cycles and ensures complete sample integrity.
Innovative Carousel System for High Density, Low Footprint Storage
The revolutionary carousel system maximizes storage capacity, allowing facilities to profit from available space while proactively controlling overheads through reduced operating expenses.
Novel Pneumatic Technology Assures Reliability and Streamlines Workflows
To ensure great reliability, the unique pneumatic technology reduces the use of electrical and mechanical components in the cold zone. Using pneumatic power allows for quick sample selection and seamless transfer to remote sites.
Modular Structure Enables Scalability and Futureproofing
Self-contained modules can be dynamically positioned and coupled to boost sample throughput and easily scale increasing compound libraries.
Fast Pick Rate Boosts Productivity
When compared to manual searching, automated cherry picking saves facilities hours of highly skilled researcher and technician time, vastly increasing productivity. Facilities can enhance cost-efficiency and benefit from considerable productivity gains by replacing two to three manual freezers with a single comPOUND.

Modular equipment that can be scaled up to increase capacity with minimum effort.
This equipment is very effective for compound management. The original purchase of two modules was expanded to 3 then 4 in a seamless manner. A D2 variant of the store was added some time later for a different sample set. The modularity and scalability of the kit was necessary for a small-medium compound management facility like ours."
David Camp, Griffith University
Quick, reliable and accurate, comPOUND gives us scope to progress.
comPOUND for us invaluable, as we demand a quick reliable service. we get walk away time added by having compound either store or pick vials. These are all ready for the end user, so are kept at the perfect storage temperature. we also get 100% accuracy, which cannot get replicated with human use."
Mr Glen, Abcam PLC
These particular units were chosen for their compact size, large storage capacity, reliability and sample management capabilities. We also chose SPT Labtech because of its professionalism and customer service. We’ve installed five comPOUND units and moved them around on site. For all the comPOUND installations the TTP Labtech engineer had each unit uncrated, built and running seamlessly within a day. Before the introduction of Australian distributors, SPT Labtech provided an excellent support service for us even though they are located several thousand miles away. All these factors were crucial to Compounds Australia’s decision to select SPT Labtech and comPOUND in order to supply high quality samples efficiently and at low cost to our customer network.”
Moana Simpson, Griffith University
Very intuitive equipment. Installation was extremely quick. We experience small issues every so often that are quickly fixed by SPT.”
