Description:
The scope of the contract is to design, manufacture, commission, and deliver a standalone robotics system to ingest sample carriers shipped from home labs, identify their origins and contents, permit their reorganisation, and load the microscope automatically, all the while keeping samples contamination free at cryogenic temperatures not exceeding 120K. The innovations envisaged to result from this contract aim to replace as much of the current manual handling as possible and introduce sample tracking at all levels and steps in the cryo-EM workflow. Changes to the cartridge, taken as the starting point of the workflow, and the loaded cassette, taken as the end-point, are considered out of scope in this project as compatibility with and warranties on exiting equipment precludes their redesign. To be useful, the workflow needs to be reversible such that samples can be recovered after imaging and reorganised for longer term storage. The storage robot must be sufficiently compact to fit within an existing microscope laboratory and present a user-friendly Graphic User Interface (GUI) for tracking sample ID-s and permitting rearrangements and loading. Software workflows, such as an Application Programming Interface (API), will be required to permit ingestion of shipping manifests and export of inventories. This is an essential starting point for wider integration of the proposed solution into the multi-user synchrotron environment where EPICS-based control and LIMS databases wor...
