MGI Tech Co., Ltd. showcased its latest storage solutions catering to a variety of sample storage needs, including MGICLab-LT*, MGICLab-LN55K*, and MGICLab-LN55K Pro*, at the ISBER 2024 Annual Meeting and Exhibits, taking place from 9 to 12 April in Melbourne. Recently, MGI also kicked off its 2024 iteration of the "What If We Had A Choice!" global campaign following its success last year. MGI's storage products aim to address complex sample data management, reduce the risks of sample contamination due to human access, and resolve other issues inherent in traditional cryogenic sample storage.

These challenges significantly impact the efficiency and quality of scientific research. With a commitment to streamlining workflows and enhancing sample preservation standards, MGI introduced the MGICLab-LT (for low temperature) Series and LN (for liquid nitrogen) Series. The MGICLab-LT Automated Ultra-low Temperature Biorepository features robotic vertical sample storage rooms at -80°C, providing reliable, stable and safe storage for different-scale preservation of different sample types, including blood, tissue, nucleic acid, protein, microorganisms and more, based on customized requirements.

Since its launch, MGICLab-LT has contributed to preserving high-quality fishery germplasm resources and empowering the sustainable development of marine fisheries across China.  Meanwhile, the LN Series preserves sample viability at a cryogenic temperature of as low as -196°C, ensuring stable sample storage even under rigorous conditions. The system combines a monitoring and alarm system with storage for consumables of various requirements. Specifically, the MGICLab-LN55K offers a solution that accommodates consumables in SBS standard formats with a capacity of up to 55,000 0.75ml cryotubes.

With an automated robotic arm retrieval system and a built-in intelligent data management system, it creates a fully automated operational workflow, making sample storage more effortless than ever. At this year's ISBER, MGI also debuted the MGICLab-LN55K Pro internationally. The system stands at the forefront of sample safety and offers a host of advantages and features designed to optimize sample storage and management, including: Sample Integrity Assurance: The storage solution can maintain temperatures = -150°C throughout storage and retrieval, preserving sample quality.

Equipped with automatic barcode scanners, it offers reliable operations for various sampling scenarios. Smart Management: The system provides one-click automated sample access, customizable inventory audits, and automatic liquid nitrogen level detection with refilling, preventing frostbite and ensuring seamless operation. Optimal Compatibility and Expandability: With the ability to support SBS standard cryovials and open consumables, the system can be integrated with third-party platforms and offers smart IoT capabilities for real-time sample tracing and seamless integration with other MGI products.
