The PlateStak® automated microplate handler is a solution for addressing increased capacity and unattended processing needs by automating the handling and storage of microplates and RoboRack™ tip boxes. The system incorporates a bi-directional shuttle that transports microplates or tip boxes from cassette to cassette or to programmable locations on the diving board.
The diving board extends out from the PlateStak automated microplate handler, making the microplates available on the working deck of the JANUS® G3 workstation. It is equipped with an onboard controller and multiple sensors to monitor microplate position for precision and accuracy, to enable easy integration with a variety of liquid handling workstations.
