How do I transport my cassette?
Mount 3 cassettes at the beam lineup to 288 samples
Ship 2 cassettes inside a Taylor Wharton or MVE dry shipper
Store 20 cassettes inside a Taylor Wharton HC35 storage device
Cassette transfer handle
Robot Demonstration
(A) Sample Cassette and Hampton pins
(B) Guide Tool – to aid mounting pins into cassettes
(C) Transfer Handle – for handling cold cassettes
(D) Magnetic Tool – to mount pins in cassette & to test pin size
(E) Dewar Canister – replaces stock canister in dry shipping dewars
(F) Styrofoam Spacer – keeps single cassette in place when shipping
(G) Teflon Ring – to support the canister in the shipping dewar
Styrofoam box holds liquid nitrogen for loading cassettes

Can the robot be used remotely?
Blu-Ice for beam line control
• Can run locally or remotely.• Multiple copies may run simultaneously.• Security features prevent unsafe actions.
Beam line video system• Monitor sample in beam,
experimental hardware, and crystals under microscope.
• Video streams may be viewed via Blu-Ice or through a web browser.
Archive System
• Back up data to multi-terabyte robot tape system at SDSC over network.
• Simple web interface for data archival and retrieval.
• No need to use backup tapes.Remote Unix desktop
• Fully functional Unix desktop environment.• Blu-Ice and all data processing software may be run remotely.• Free ICA client from Citrix.
