Platefeeder Carousel

Optimize storage and throughput with this small-footprint unit that stores stacked microplates and tip boxes, and supports automated access by our robotic systems. Thermo Scientific™ Platefeeder Carousel consists of a motorized turntable with detachable hotels, and includes a controller that enables a host computer to rotate the turntable until the desired hotel is in position. When used with a Thermo Scientific Laboratory Automation and Integration robotic arm, our Platefeeder Carousel provides fully-automated storage of stacked microplates.

• Platefeeder hotels provide greater capacity than shelved microplate hotels
• A closed-loop servo motor with an optical encoder ensures accurate positioning of the carousel
• Eight removeable hotels allow operators to rapidly load and unload the carousel, providing greater utilization
• Hotels can accommodate standard and deep-well microplates with or without lids, and pipet tip boxes
• Landscape or portrait microplate orientation provides direct access into instrumentation
• Controller allows a PC to precisely control the carousel's rotation

Includes: Eight removable platefeeder hotels, each holding up to 40 unlidded, 34 lidded, or 14 deep-well microplates; Controller with RS232 serial interface; Anodized aluminum base plate and hotel back support; Mounting hardware
