The BiOLiX SAB Line

Automated Bio-Libraries

-130°C to RT
The SAB Line combines sample safety, sample density and power efficiency design principles of the BiOLiX Series besides accommodates a very specific operational needs of collections with diverse and unpredictable tube and rack types. SAB also provides an extremely easy pathway to transition manual freezer repository into automated one.


Biobanking is becoming more complex than ever with growing sample types, methods and organizations. Centralization of collections and services is often a key component of biobanking operations. Large sample collections with diverse sample types and non-standardized labware present a challenge to operational and cost efficiency. LICONIC is a leader in dedicated, application driven, sample storage automation. The SAB Line of the BiOLiX Series specifically addresses the needs of this rapidly growing sample management sector.
SAB Line Overview
BiOLiX SAB
Main Features
  • Temperature range from RT to -130°C
  • Semi-automated sample picking & tracking
  • Compatible with unlimited types of labware
  • Multiple levels of sample safety backup
  • Large sample capacity
  • Fully featured system control software
  • LIMS and robotic work cell integration
The SAB Line is designed for biobanking applications where the primary objective of the storage is long term sample safety and efficiency for storage processes and capacity. This line offers the same advantages as other LiCONiC store lines but caters to the needs of large legacy collections and long term collection arrangements where odd and variable sized containers and rack sizes are frequently encountered. The SAB Line simplifies the sample storage/retrieval process and ensures that sample integrity is maintained in perpetuity.

SAB storage area is flexibly configurable to accommodate many container varieties simultaneously, and to be changeable over time to adapt to new container types and proportions in storage. Transitioning sample collections from legacy storage arrangements to the automated environment of SAB is easy with fully configurable storage cassette sizes.

SAB Storage Conditions
The SAB Line features climate control design found across the BiOLiX Series. These features result in high density, temperature stable, and power efficient sample storage. As with the SAB series, single, chest style storage combines with LiCONiC’s proprietary dual temperature zone design to give temperature stability, excellent humidity control, and easy service access to robotic components. LiCONiC‘s unique chest freezer design naturally creates two important benefits:
Space Efficiency
The SAB Line of Automated Bio-Libraries make best use of given room constraints by built to space modular design. System size and layout tailored to needs and workflow requirements.
