Stacker

Microplate stackers streamline laboratory workflows by automating the handling of microplates used in high-throughput screening, drug discovery, and other research applications. These instruments efficiently load and unload microplates to and from various laboratory devices, such as plate readers, washers, incubators, and liquid handling systems. Stackers improve throughput and reduce manual handling errors, enhancing the speed and reproducibility of experiments. They work by holding multiple plates in a vertical stack and dispensing them one at a time to connected instruments, often integrating seamlessly with automated liquid handling workstations and robotics. This automated process significantly improves efficiency in assays like ELISA, PCR, and cell-based assays, minimizing hands-on time and increasing overall productivity.

Microplate stackers streamline laboratory workflows by automating the handling of microplates used in high-throughput screening, drug discovery, and other research applications. These instruments efficiently load and unload microplates to and from various laboratory devices, such as plate readers, washers, incubators, and liquid handling systems. Stackers improve throughput and reduce manual handling errors, enhancing the speed and reproducibility of experiments. They work by holding multiple plates in a vertical stack and dispensing them one at a time to connected instruments, often integrating seamlessly with automated liquid handling workstations and robotics. This automated process significantly improves efficiency in assays like ELISA, PCR, and cell-based assays, minimizing hands-on time and increasing overall productivity. Stackers support diverse workflows including genomics, proteomics, and cell biology research, ensuring consistent and reliable plate handling for a range of applications. They are particularly valuable in high-throughput screening environments where large numbers of samples are processed. Integration with liquid handling systems from brands like Tecan, Hamilton, and PerkinElmer, and compatibility with microplate readers from manufacturers such as BioTek, Molecular Devices, and Thermo Fisher Scientific enhances their versatility. Whether used for sample preparation, assay development, or data acquisition, microplate stackers play a crucial role in automating and optimizing modern laboratory processes. - Less
