1 At-a-glance information
Visual indicator of instrument andsystem health
Thermo Scientific™ SmartHandle color
informs users of instrument status,and overall system health. Instruments
in warning or error states are identified
by a SmartHandle color change
which is easily identifiable fromacross the room.

Flexible and configurable
Superior instrument accessibility in
a compact vertical design
Configure your inSPIRE platform tomeet your needs through our large
catalog of components. The modular
design enables multiple systems to bejoined to create expanded workflow
solutions.

3 Spinnaker XT Microplate Robot
Collaborative and safe by design
The inSPIRE platform uses the fully
collaborative Thermo Scientific™
Spinnaker™ Microplate Robot which
has vision teaching, on-the-fly healing,
built-in barcode reading for sample
tracking, a full 360-degree workspace,an on-board container re-orientation
station and mover-based container
de/re lidding.

4 SmartHandles
Quick and easy instrument access
SmartHandles provide touch enabled
automation control with haptic
feedback allowing users to intuitively
interact and share instruments with
the inSPIRE platform. Requesting an
instrument is easy! Simply grip theSmartHandle to register your request.
Feedback is provided by the color andpulse of the SmartHandle.

5 SmartShelves
Actively positioned means no
re-teaching required
Quickly and easily supply power andcommunication to an instrument
through each Thermo Scientific™
SmartShelf’s built-in communication
ports. Depending on the chosen
instruments, up to four SmartShelves
can be placed on each inSPIRE
platform central pole. Spill
containment options are available.

Requesting a device
Grip the SmartHandle forapproximately one second, andthen release it. The SmartHandlechanges (pulsing green).
Wait for the SmartHandle tochange (steady green), grip
the SmartHandle, and when
it vibrates gently swing theSmartShelf outward.

Grip the SmartHandle,
and then slowly swing theSmartShelf in toward thecenter of the inSPIRE platform
frame until a click is heard.
