Microplate Stacker:Automated

VStack Automated Plate Stacker is a sophisticated device for dispensing and receiving microplates from robotic systems. An efficient modular stacker, the VStack provides the compact size and speed demanded in today's automated systems. The VStack features a removable three-corner rack for convenient access to plates. Its versatile design accommodates all types of microplates (including deepwell) as well as pipette tip boxes and pin tools. The VStack's compact size allows for multiple stackers to be used in your system, increasing the speed and efficiency of your automated protocols. The VStack is designed to hold a single type of plate per run. FEATURES Fast High throughput plate stacker is faster than most robotic arms in typical applications Small Footprint Compact size allows for multiple stackers, increasing speed and efficiency Smart Design Automatically checks for correct plate type and orientation Machine Specifications Base Dimensions: 8.5" x 8" x 7.5" (WxLxH) Rack Dimensions: 3.5" x 5.25" x 26.75" (WxLxH) Operating environment: 5-40° C, 10-90% RH Plate Accessibility: Plate locator is accessible to a robotic arm with movement in three axes, such as Velocity11's BioCel automated workcell robot.
