Genepoint Snorkel Max Automated Sample Repository System

The Genepoint Snorkel Max is a high-capacity automated sample repository system designed to deliver secure, efficient, and intelligent cold storage for modern laboratories and biobanks. Combining advanced refrigeration technology, precision mechanical engineering, and intuitive automation, Snorkel Max streamlines sample storage and retrieval while protecting valuable biological materials. With storage capacity for up to 150,000 SBS-format vials (or 63,000 cryo boxes), it maximizes storage density without increasing its footprint.

Engineered for flexibility, Snorkel Max supports a wide range of labware, including cryo boxes, SBS-format boxes, PCR plates, ELISA plates, centrifuge tubes, and EP tubes, making it easy to integrate into existing laboratory workflows. Moisture-proof technology, dual cascading refrigeration with liquid nitrogen backup, and rapid low-temperature rack retrieval help preserve sample integrity while minimizing frost buildup and temperature fluctuations. The pre-installed SampleAtlas™ sample management system provides both Research Mode and Biobank Mode for intelligent inventory management, fast sample localization, and complete traceability. Recognized with the 2025 iF Design Award, Snorkel Max delivers the automation, reliability, and scalability required for high-throughput biobanking, pharmaceutical, biotech, and clinical research applications.
