Verso Q-Series - Ambient to Minus 20°C Automated Lab Freezers
Automated Freezer Storage Right Where You Need It
The Verso Q-Series lineup of ambient to minus 20°C automated lab freezer storage systems boasts many of the accommodating features of a large refrigeration system in an extremely compact footprint. With Verso Q20, Verso Q50, and Verso Q75, your samples can be stored anywhere you need them. Thanks to fully automated designs, these small but powerful systems allow you to spend more time being productive and less time managing samples.
Flexible & Compact Sample Storage
Verso Q-Series allows users to pick one or 1,000 samples at the touch of a finger. The systems can be run day and night without supervision, allowing users to run jobs after hours to maximize daily productivity. Each of the Verso Q20, Verso Q50, and Verso Q75 has the ability to handle a wide variety of sample configurations and tube/plate types. They can store and manage almost any SBS-format labware in a single compact laboratory freezer, with a throughput of up to 390 tubes/hour.
Powerful INSTINCT S Software
Our Verso Q-Series automated sample storage platforms are powered by the intuitive and robust INSTINCT S software, enabling users to perform daily tasks with minimal training.
Common applications Genomics, Nucleic Acid Extraction, Biobanking, Pharma & Biopharma, Drug Discovery, Compound Handling, Gene and Cell Therapy, Bioprocess Downstream, Analytical Development and QC, Chemical Processes, Small Molecules Pharmaceuticals, Agri-Food and Beverage
Featured Technologies
-
Storage Technologies-20°C Barcode Reading
For peak sample integrity
To ensure the highest possible sample safety, barcodes are scanned at -20°C within the system to minimize temperature fluctuations and prevent degradation. This helps maintain sample integrity and preserves high-quality data by reducing thaw cycles and temperature swings.
-
Storage TechnologiesAMR Integration
For maximized efficiency
Enhance your lab's workflow by integrating the automated sample storage system with an Autonomous Mobile Robot (AMR). When integrated, these specialized robots offer location independence, high flexibility, and increased output. Enables higher-throughput storage and retrieval and supports integrated sample management solutions across rooms or floors.
-
Storage TechnologiesTouchscreen Monitor
For direct interaction
An intuitive touchscreen monitor simplifies interactions, allows for precise control, and enhances the overall user experience. A user-friendly interface for at-a-glance status, job control, and exception handling.
-
Storage TechnologiesCustomizable Picker Module
For special applications
Verso's dynamic versatility allows labs with uncommon workflows to customize their sample management storage system. The system's picker can be modified to accommodate newborn screening cards, DNA collection cards, or even horizontal picking. The system is ideal for specialized sample collections where non-standard formats still need automated sample handling and traceable workflows.
-
Storage TechnologiesTube Side Barcode Reader
For enhanced traceability
An optional Tube Side Barcode Scanning Module is available to identify 1D and 2D barcodes on the sides of tubes and associate that barcode information with their location in the parent rack. Improves sample tracking and supports compound library governance by associating tube identity with rack and location history.
Pick one or 1,000 samples at the touch of a finger. Jobs can run without supervision; simply input your pick list and move on to the next task.
Verso Q-Series provides complete transparency of your samples. The fully supported Application Programming Interface (API) seamlessly integrates into your lab.
The system allows for complete sample traceability, automatically tracking and recording movements for a full audit trail of every sample.
Verso Q50 and Verso Q75 are both equipped with redundant refrigeration to mitigate the effect of potential disaster scenarios.
The system allows for a variety of sample configurations and tube/plate types. Store and manage almost any SBS-format labware in a single system.
Explore Verso Q-Series
Verso Q-Series automated laboratory freezer storage systems allow you to spend less time managing your samples.
1
Input/Output Module
Introduce and retrieve samples simply using the multifunctional Input/Output (I/O) module. This frees up time to work on more important tasks, such as your research.
2
Touchscreen Monitor
The Touchscreen Monitor allows users to directly interact with INSTINCT S, making it quick and easy to navigate the software.
3
Minimize Downtime
Service to the system can be performed quickly and efficiently, as all major Verso Q-Series assemblies (picker, shuttle, etc.) are easily swappable.
4
Compact Footprint
Verso Q-Series platforms offer many of the accommodating features of a large system in a compact footprint, so your samples can be stored virtually anywhere you need them.
Ideal for Integration with Autonomous Mobile Robots
Enhance your lab's workflow by combining Verso Q-Series sample storage with an Autonomous Mobile Robot (AMR).
Location Independence
Using Verso Q-Series with an AMR allows the storage platform to be placed in a different location than where the processing system is situated.
High Flexibility
With an AMR, samples from multiple systems can be stored in the Verso Q-Series. Additionally, this setup is infinitely scalable.
Increase Productivity
By utilizing AMRs in the lab, low-value tasks like transporting samples can be performed around the clock to significantly boost productivity.

Simple, Powerful Automation Software
Our automated sample storage platforms run on the powerful, easy-to-use INSTINCT S software, which allows users to run daily operations easily with minimal training.
/
INSTINCT S is our powerful sample management software that is available across all Hamilton automated sample storage platforms - BiOS, SAM HD Pro, Verso, Verso Dx, and Verso Q-Series systems. The beauty of INSTINCT S is its simplicity; the software allows users to operate the automated sample storage system with minimal training.
Additionally, the software's dynamic Application Programming Interface (API) is able to interact directly with a Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS) or with Hamilton liquid handling workstations.
