flexibility of random microplates loading with full control
Many
laboratories use different labware (plates, lids, tips reservoirs etc.)
for multiple flows on their robotic automation systems. Even more when
barcodes are used, it can be that the barcode label side varies from
test to test, for the same type of plates! This can be confusing for the
end-users and can be error-prone.
Typically, the above is the case when plates are provided externally
and the end-user has little influence on the plate layout and barcode
locations (such as CRO’s and other facilitation laboratories). To help
users with easy loading of the labware into the robotic automation
system, Lab Services developed the PlateDefiner. This device ensures the
right type of plate is used and that it has been placed correctly into
the robotic automation system. If the plate is of the correct type but
has been put into the system in the wrong way, the PlateDefiner can
correct this by orientating the plate so that the process can continue
without user intervention!
The PlateDefiner can also be equipped with a Barcode Reader for optimal and efficient defining of the plates.
