BioTek BioStack3 Microplate Stacker

The BioStack3 Microplate Stacker, from BioTek, has been designed to ensure efficient laboratory microplate processes. The product features a dual plate carrier and rotational wrist to quickly move plates from the source stack to the instrument and back to the destination stack, keeping two plates in process.

The product is claimed to be the fastest stacker of its kind, designed to provide increased throughput for batched processes. In less than 10 s total transfer time, it can remove one plate from an instrument carrier and replace it with another microplate, increasing overall productivity for batch processes.

In addition to the fast total transfer time, the product features a choice of 10, 30, or 50 microplate storage stacks, and maintains its small footprint for use in a biosafety cabinet or hood. The product automates routine microplate-based processes when integrated with most of the company’s instrumentation for walkaway automation.
