Plate preparation workstations have high capacity
In addition to pipetting, plate gripping, and moving capabilities, the workstations can interface with other laboratory equipment such as washers, mixers, incubators, and readers
Different models offering a range of sizes and capacity accommodate individual requirements.
The system is easy to use and operates simply by loading plates or tube racks into the enclosure, which is then sealed and connected to a control unit producing a short cycle that flushes out the existing oxygen atmosphere and replaces it with dry gas such as nitrogen or argon.
Compounds in DMSO are kept in dry environments to minimise water uptake and damage caused by atmospheric oxygen.
On completion of the flush cycle, the enclosure is disconnected from the control module and transferred to suitable storage facilities where it can remain for up to twelve months with its stabilised atmospheric conditions.
The new PlateStable system has a monitoring system enabling users to analyse the contained atmospheric conditions at any stage during the length of the storage cycle. Request a free brochure from Anachem ...
