The CannaDeckSystem is an integrated sample prep automation platform that performs routine sample handling activities that are done every day in Cannabis Testing Labs. It is the heart of a complete system that includes:

• SampleTrac™ System – eLab Notebook for the Cannabis testing lab; includes automated sample weight capture, bar code scan of samples/consumables, tracking/logging of sample prep processes, integration with LIMS
• Automated Homogenization (if desired) – Use of the Omni BeadRuptor™ to create pipettable suspensions of samples
• The CannaDeck sample prep automation platform

• Liquid handling (pipetting/dispensing)
• Grinding
• Weighing
• Movement of sample racks and consumables when required
• Vortexing
• Filtration
• Plating (microbiology)

Yes! While it doesn’t have that human robot appearance (anthropomorphic, “Danger Will Robinson”-looking robot), it is a robotic system that includes automated pipettors as well as a robot arm/gripper that transports racks of tubes and/or consumables around the work area.

No. Programming. Required. The CannaDeck comes to your lab with everything it needs to know in order to run your tests. We work with you during the initial configuration stage of your order to make sure we know exactly what you need the CannaDeck to do.

The CannaDeck comes pre-programmed for the types of tests you need it to run. Examples of these tests include:

• Potency extraction
• Pesticide extraction
• Terpene sampling
• Residual solvent sampling
• Mycotoxin assays
• Microbiology assays

Absolutely. Its pipettors are equipped with liquid level sensing so that the upper layer of an extraction can be pulled off.

Yes.

Your CannaDeck comes with a volume verification script that allows you to measure pipetting accuracy using spectrophotometric or gravimetric validation.
