Bar Code Print and Apply Workcell - Features

When configured with a PlateCrane with rotating gripper, the workcell allows labels to be applied to any or all sides of a microplate. This picture shows a close-up of the PlateCrane rotating gripper, the Plate Nest, and the LAP4100 Label Applicator.

600 dpi printer provides the resolution needed for reproducible printing on labels sized for microplates. The capability to use labels up to 3.3” wide allows use of longer bar codes and the printing of human readable text next to the bar code..

The Print & Apply Workcell offers individual laboratories Walkaway Automation for labeling microplates. Depending on the configuration, up to 420 microplates can be loaded and then automatically labeled. The potential inaccuracies (as well as operator tedium) of manual labeling are therefore avoided.
