Software increases microplate stacker throughput
Stacker can be programmed to perform almost any plate loading application, from loading a liquid handler deck to automating high throughput, two instrument assays
Its patented rack storage system enables the location of the robotics in ambient-temperature space.
This design isolates the robotics from ultra-low temperatures that can cause mechanical failures.
Frost build-up is negligible thanks to a humidity-controlled enclosure (<5% relative humidity).
This gives the BioBank exceptional reliability and allows preventive maintenance without disturbing sample integrity, says Thermo.
BioBank is described as the perfect solution for applications such as cell-based assays, bacterial clones, tissue banks, proteomics, DNA libraries and oligo stocks.
It preserves cell viability and tissue properties, minimising waste due to product loss, is integrated easily into automated processes that require cold storage, and saves time by automating sample handling and tracking.
BioBank Supervisor software provides an easy-to-use GUI and facilitates complete sample traceability.
