The Thermo Fisher Spinnaker™ 3 is an advanced SCARA-style robotic mover engineered for intelligent microplate handling in dynamic lab environments. With built-in machine vision, self-leveling gripper, and collision recovery features, the Spinnaker 3 provides smart automation that adapts to uneven surfaces and real-time changes in plate positioning. This makes it ideal for labs requiring flexible, accurate automation across a range of devices and formats.

Designed for seamless integration into Thermo’s Momentum™ scheduling software and compatible with a wide range of instruments, the Spinnaker 3 is capable of handling nearly any SBS-format labware—including deep-well plates, tip boxes, and tube racks. It’s also vision-guided, eliminating the need for manual re-teaching when nests or stacks are moved slightly out of alignment.
