Labware loading racks

Velocity11 has expanded the range of Labware Racks available for its BenchCel Microplate Handling System and VStack Labware Stacker.

Three different labware rack types are now available. The existing economy rack will continue to be supplied as standard equipment. A slot-style rack will now be optionally available in four sizes. The slot-style rack has been designed to allow users to simply load a stack of ANSI-compliant labware (microplates, lidded microplates, tube racks and disposable tip boxes) by sliding them into the top. Additionally, a front opening door-style premium rack will be available in two sizes, for users who want to avoid lifting labware above the top of a rack even while attached to the handler or stacker.

Users can choose to load labware either by using the opening-door feature or load as with the slot-style racks. The front door locks to ensure the labware is held securely. The extra small door-style rack is suitable for instruments placed in safety hoods, where access for loading labware is limited.

All three rack styles work with Velocity11 products in a forward or reverse position.
