SPT Labtech comPOUND®
Scalable, reliable and secure compound management at -20°C, +4°C and ambient temperature.
comPOUND provides secure storage for 2D barcoded tubes at -20°C, +4°C, and ambient temperature. Its innovative carousel system delivers high density storage within a small footprint, compact unit and allows for rapid retrieval through the convenient vending machine style design. The modular approach allows facilities to scale flexibly, connecting individual units across locations using innovative and reliable pneumatic transport technology.
The user-friendly and convenient vending machine style design enables easy and secure access to samples. The ability to only retrieve requested microvials avoids unnecessary freeze/thaw cycles and maintains full sample integrity.
The innovative carousel system optimizes storage capacity, allowing facilities to capitalize on available space and proactively control overheads by maintaining low running costs.
The innovative pneumatic technology minimizes the use of electrical and mechanical components in the cold zone to ensure exceptional reliability. Harnessing pneumatic power enables fast cherry picking of samples and seamless onward transportation to remote locations.
Self-contained modules can be flexibly located and linked to increase sample throughput and enable growing compound libraries to scale efficiently.
Automated cherry picking saves facilities hours of highly qualified researcher and technician time in comparison to manual searching, dramatically increasing productivity. With a single comPOUND typically replacing two to three manual freezers, facilities can improve cost-efficiency and benefit from significant workflow improvements.

We have two core accessories available to expand the performance of comPOUND. comSTACKER enables walk-away operation and the Connect XC system allows for unattended processing of orders consisting of up to 150 racks of tubes.
These particular units were chosen for their compact size, large storage capacity, reliability and sample management capabilities. We also chose SPT Labtech because of its professionalism and customer service. We’ve installed five comPOUND units and moved them around on site. For all the comPOUND installations the TTP Labtech engineer had each unit uncrated, built and running seamlessly within a day. Before the introduction of Australian distributors, SPT Labtech provided an excellent support service for us even though they are located several thousand miles away. All these factors were crucial to Compounds Australia’s decision to select SPT Labtech and comPOUND in order to supply high quality samples efficiently and at low cost to our customer network
