MiniLab SFC Highlights




Experience trouble-free mechanical operation with SEAL’s signature encoded motors on the MiniLab ML platform. These motors provide real-time feedback and precision control to the system, ensuring greater accuracy in movement and positioning.
From simple, non–intrusive systems to fully automated high-capacity workhorses, we’ll help you configure a robotic platform tailored to your lab’s needs.
Our temperature units can operate independently or integrated onto our MiniLab robotic platforms, providing an automated solution for sample preparation and testing.
The level of automation in your MiniLab system can be configured to meet your individual needs.
MiniLab SFC Steps
Step 1
Prepare samples
Load SFC sample tubes into the first block.
Step 2
Create work table
Use the software to set up the test sequence and configure the system's operations.
Step 3
Load and launch
Place the sample racks into the system, start the automated sequence, and walk away.
Step 4
Automatic processing
The system handles all stages from heating/cooling to disposal, with data saved and exported as required.

Intuitive software for a tailored experience
The SFC software is designed to manage precise timing for introducing sampling tubes into tempering units and the NMR analyzer. You can easily set up methods to run samples in both serial and parallel modes, with customizable timing and tempering steps.
Connecting with your LIMS makes it easy to import and export data, and the report generator creates printable reports.
The software offers real time visualization of run status, along with comprehensive reporting and tracking of all sample data. During a run, new samples can be introduced, allowing the SFC robot to operate unattended day and night.
