PlateCrane EX - Features

 
The PlateCrane EX provides walkaway automation for simple workcells with a single microplate instrument, or complex workcells with several instruments, multiple processes or even a complete assay.

The PlateCrane EX comes with 4 axes of motion: tower rotation, vertical travel, a telescoping arm and gripper rotation. It includes an optional EasyTeach teaching pendant for easily setting plate positions in your workcell, and the revolutionary AutoTeach machine vision teaching system.

The PlateCrane EX moves labware to and from removable stacks that are mounted on bases located around the arm. These bases are modular to allow flexibility in the configuration of stacks and surrounding instruments.

n  Adds microplate capacity to a single instrument to increase
    “walkaway” time.

n  Performs complete automated assays bylinking multiple
     instruments with one or more PlateCrane EXs.

n  Moves plates with lids to and from stacks, and can
     automatically remove the lid from the active plate.

n  Works with 96, 384 and 1536-well microplates, deep well
     plates, plates with lids, and tip racks.

n  Fits within a standard laboratory hoods.

n  Provides random access to stacks with shelves, for room
     temperature incubation and time-critical kinetic assays.

The PlateCrane EX is supplied with Hudson's SoftLinx
laboratory automation software. SoftLinx provides scheduling capability and an easy-to-use icon-based drag and drop Method Editor. SoftLinx users can access Hudson's software inter faces for more than 150 microplate-based instruments, including liquid handlers, pipettors, washers, readers, incubators, sealers, bar code labelers, and more.
