SAM HD Pro - Minus 80°C Walkaway Sample Storage Solution
Automated High-Density Sample Storage Freezer
Our SAM HD Pro sample management system offers secure, frost-free storage of tubes and plates. This Ultra-Low Temperature (ULT) freezer is designed for high-density storage capabilities with a minimal footprint. The SAM HD Pro is designed to maintain sample integrity while providing easy sample access and tracking.
Minus 80°C Storage in a Compact Footprint
This localized, temperature-controlled freezer easily fits into existing lab spaces. Each SAM HD Pro system allows for samples to be stored at six different shelf heights, providing flexibility for your lab workflow.
Technologically Advanced
Enhancements to the tube picker boost the system’s reliability, while new Runtime 2.0 software introduces a web-based user interface, allowing users to interact with SAM HD Pro from remote devices like phones and tablets.
The SAM HD Pro freezer also features updated variable drive compressors for better performance, faster pull-down, and quicker recovery times.
Effortless Automation
Our INSTINCT S software drives the SAM HD Pro automated sample storage system, offering a seamless, user-friendly experience that requires little to no training for everyday operations.
Common applications Biobanking, Pharma & Biopharma, Drug Discovery, Compound Handling, Gene and Cell Therapy
Featured Technologies
-
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 TechnologiesWhisper-Quiet Operation
For optimal focus
The SAM HD Pro system operates at under 44 decibels. This low-volume operation helps create a workspace that is conducive to concentration and productivity.
-
Storage TechnologiesUniversal Variable Drive
For superlative performance
Thanks to the ultra-low temperature freezer's Universal Variable Drive technology, the system adjusts its speed dynamically to ensure optimal cooling while also enhancing energy efficiency.
-
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 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.
Multiple tube and/or plate types can be stored together in the lab freezer to accommodate varying sample collection workflows.
Web-based INSTINCT S user interface allows customers to interface with SAM HD Pro from remote devices such as phones or tablets.
SAM HD Pro stops heat and moisture from entering the system, and the environment is continuously monitored to ensure samples never reach critical temperatures.
The system uses a natural refrigerant to help reduce your lab’s carbon footprint. It also features a 33% improvement in energy efficiency and a 20% reduction in environmental footprint over its predecessor.
SAM HD Pro offers robotic integration capabilities with Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMRs) as well as fixed robotic arms, such as the Hamilton HMotion.
Explore SAM HD Pro
SAM HD Pro is the latest version of the SAM HD lab freezer for sample management. Like its predecessor, it is a compact solution designed to safely and securely store valuable samples at minus 80°C in a frost-free environment.
1
Touchscreen Monitor
The new Touchscreen Monitor allows users to directly interact with the INSTINCT S, making it quick and easy to navigate the software.
2
Input/Output Module
Quick and secure sample access as the system retrieves samples in less than 70 seconds and delivers them directly to the I/O Module.
3
System Enclosure
Environmentally-controlled enclosure provides optimal conditions for storing and processing samples at -80°C.
4
Picker Window
SAM HD Pro's Picker Window gives users a unique look into the system while a pick job is running. During a job, the interior is lit up to allow observation of the picker in motion.

Efficiency Meets Security
To maintain sample integrity, the system eliminates heat and moisture from entering the system and causing freeze-thaw cycles. The active automation is separated from the sample storage compartment to eliminate heat from affecting the samples. Unlike manual freezers, this sample freezer door remains closed to prevent moisture and temperature fluctuations.
The environment is continuously monitored, even during picking, ensuring the samples never reach critical sample temperatures. Tubes and plates within the lab freezer are picked in a minus 20°C environment. A standard UPS and LN2 backup is provided to help mitigate typical disaster scenarios and ensure samples are kept cold and safe.
Ultimate Sample Protection
SAM HD Pro's RGB LED Picker Lighting was designed to protect light-sensitive samples, safeguarding their integrity.
Enjoy peace of mind knowing that your samples are safe in SAM HD Pro's continuously monitored environment. A complete chain of custody for each sample is available, as the system automatically tracks and records the movement of all samples.
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.
