BioStack
Microplate Stacker
- De-lidding and re-lidding microplates with fast plate exchange times
- Ultra-fast plate transfers with BioStack Neo
- Convenient re-stacking for complete automation of endpoint and kinetic processes
- 10, 30 and 50 plate removable, exchangeable stacks
- Super compact footprint saves bench space – and can fit in biosafety enclosure
APPLICATIONS
Microplate stackers help automate throughput for a variety of imaging, multi-mode detection and liquid handling workflows. BioStack expands the applications, by providing plate de-lidding and re-lidding for sensitive cell-based assays as well.
- Absorbance, fluorescence, luminescence assays
- ELISA
- Cell-based assays
BioStack4 has a unique 2-place carrier, design to make plate transfers super fast and enabling plate de-lidding and re-lidding.
FEATURES
De-lidding and re-lidding capability
All BioStack models offer fast plate transfers to and from the integrated imager, multi-mode reader or liquid handling system. The new, patented BioStack 4 model offers efficient de-lidding and re-lidding of microplates for sensitive cell-based assays.
Fast plate transfers with BioStack Neo
Re-stacking for complete automation
Removable, exchangeable stacks
10, 30 and 50 plate stacks are available for use with BioStack to accommodate varying throughput requirements. Stacks are easily exchanged among multiple BioStacks in the lab, for maximum flexibility. The smaller stacks are compact to fit within a biosafety enclosure, and 50 plate stacks provide high throughput, walkaway automation.
Compact footprint
BioStack integrated to BioTek’s readers, imagers, washers or dispensers use minimal benchspace and are easily disconnected and moved as your lab space or layout changes. The integrated system can also fit conveniently within a biosafety enclosure to facilitate sensitive workflows.
