Cambs cover Europe supporting arktic™ biobank

The arktic™ Biobank supports the biotechnology research sector, and leaders in developing new generations of engineered antibody products.

Working in partnership to develop world-class solutions

In 2012, TTP Labtech launched arktic™ – an affordable automated biobank aimed to be within the reach of every lab. The modular unit can fit neatly into a small footprint, despite having the capacity to hold up to 95,000 0.5mL tubes, making it ideal for space-restricted laboratories with biobanking needs. An integral part of the arktic™ biobank was a cutting edge moisture content controller for compressed air (DAC) developed by Cambs Compressors. The moisture content controller shuts down the air supply if the moisture level exceeds the specified level, protecting the samples from possible contamination. The key to the DAC system is its size. It’s small enough to be incorporated within an OEM product design and is used by several OEM’s across the world, as well as SPT Labtech in the arktic™ Biobank.

A solution focused approach supported by a service contract covering Europe

Cambs Compressors worked closely with TTP Labtech to develop a range of products and solve specific challenges for the arktic™ biobank. These included the DAC - Dry air controller, manufactured by Cambs Compressors and the silencer to reduced sound pollution; taking an existing product and modifying it to reduce the noise level by a further by 20DB. A maintenance programme was then created, which could be shared across the world so the units could be calibrated and serviced efficiently by qualified engineers. The calibration, servicing and qualifying it for research quality assurance standards, is carried out by Cambs Compressors across Europe.

Over the past two years this has proved challenging with travel bans and lockdowns, however innovative remote video ‘step-by-step’ guidance, has enabled our service engineers to ensure the maintenance is carried out to the correct standards.  Cambs Compressors providing training support for the arktic™ biobanks' located outside Europe, using this remote process.
