Accessories

Microplate Gripper

The optional on-deck gripper tool is recognized automatically and can be used for the transport of microplates and plate lids between different deck positions.

Reagent Heating

The heating adapter is the fully automated solution for the incubation and denaturation of reagents within the temperature range of room temperature up to 135 °C.

Thermo Shaker

The BioShake 3000 T-elm plate Thermomixer provides heating combined with patented vibration-free shaking and is only slightly larger than a standard microplate.

UV Decontamination

Ideally for molecular biology or cell applications, Decontaminates decks e.g. overnight using UV light.

Microplate adapter

Microplate adapter allows you to use any type of microplates of various manufacturers on our devices incl. adapter for specific application requirements.

Automated Reservoir Filling

The reagent reservoirs are designed for the storage and automatically refilling of liquids, such as buffers, DMSO…

Barcode Handling

For the creation of barcodes, labeling of microplates as well as reading of barcodes within the process we offer tailor-made solutions.

Tip Wash Station

With the aid of these wash modules, tips in the 96 and 384 format can be washed automatically with pump-supported (active) inflow and drain, which helps you to reduce disposable costs.

Plate Handling and Storage

Efficient microplate storage with stackers enables fully automated processing of large batches of plates and increases your walk-away time.
