AUTOMATED PLATE FEEDING SOLUTIONS

Automated Plate Loading for High-Content Imagers, Cell Counters & Image Cytometers

plate::handler™ FLEX

Increase the throughput and flexibility of your imaging and cell counting workflows by adding a plate::handler™ FLEX robotic plate feeding solution to your  Imager, Cell Counter or Image Cytometer.

  • Supports higher throughputs, increases flexibility, adds walk-away processing capabilities
  • Increase utilization/amortization of Imagers and Readers enabling plates to be read without user attention and/or overnight, enabling long term studies
  • Same robot, same software as used on our full workflow automation solutions enabling customer to add additional instruments or to upgrade to their plate::handler FLEX solution to an explorer G3 workstation solution
  • Detection instruments and plate feeding automation provided out of one hand
