Stacker can be programmed to perform almost any plate loading application, from loading a liquid handler deck to automating high throughput, two instrument assays
Thermo Electron introduces a new software package for the RapidStak microplate stacker.
RapidStak is said to be the fastest and most efficient microplate stacker in its class.
And now it can automate two instruments using the new Microsoft.net programming interface.
With the new software, RapidStak can be programmed to perform almost any plate loading application, from loading a liquid handler deck to automating high throughput, two instrument assays.
Designed to work with most microplates and instruments, including Thermo's Multidrop, RapidStak meets the increasing demand for time savings and higher throughput in the laboratory.
Thermo claims to offer the fastest Multidrop stacker on the market, and it can now be used to automate third-party instruments.
The speed is the result of RapidStak's intuitive design - plates can be delivered and stacked simultaneously.
RapidStak is said to be the only stacker that can be easily upgraded in the field, to triple its original capacity as needs grow.
It can be added to field instruments in minutes, immediately increasing productivity.
This reliable run-and-go system provides peace of mind during unattended operation, says Thermo.
