Introducing the Next-Gen HT500 Tube Handler
At NBS Scientific, we are excited to announce the launch of the second-generation Micronic Tube Handler HT500, a powerful, affordable, and easy-to-use solution designed to take sample management to higher levels. Whether you’re working in a high-throughput lab, a biobank, or a research facility, the renewed HT500 is here to help streamline your workflows with speed, accuracy, and reliability.
Why choose the next-gen HT500?
Manual tube sorting has always been one of the most time-consuming and error-prone tasks in the lab. Soring hundreds of tubes by hand isn’t just repetitive; it also increases the chance of costly mistakes. The updated Ht500 Tube Handler eliminates these challenges by automating the entire sorting and picking process, enabling faster, traceable, and more dependable results.
With this new release, Micronic has taken everything that made the original HT500 Tube Handler a trusted tool and upgraded it with next-level performance and usability features.
Key benefits of the new HT500
The redesigned HT500 delivers a range of improvements that make it a smart upgrade for any lab:
- High throughput: Handles up to 400 tubes per hour, keeping your sample management moving at full speed.
- Accuracy & traceability: Integrated 2D tube code reader double-checks each tube during arraying, ensuring full confidence and seamless integration with your database or LIMS.
- User-friendly operation: Upload a CSV pick list via USB, scan racks with the included 1D barcode scanner, and let the HT500 do the rest.
- Broad compatibility: Works with Micronic tubes ranging from 0.30ml to 1.40ml, and can be customized to fit other tube brands.
- Generous capacity: Accommodates up to 20 racks per run (with at least one source and one target rack specified).
- Built-in safety: Features a separate safety stop to protect your valuable samples at all times.
Simple, Three-Step Operation
Micronic has designed the HT500 Tube Handler with the end-user in mind. The process couldn’t be easier:
Step 1: Upload your pick list (CSV via USB).
Step 2: Scan your racks, source, and target, using the included barcode scanner.
Step 3: Press start and watch the HT500 automatically pick, verify, and place your tubes.
No more manual sorting, no more second-guessing, just fast, accurate, and efficient sample handling.

From its semi-automatic linking between rack ID and rack position to its intuitive interface, the device is designed to integrate seamlessly into existing workflows.
