BioTek BioStack 3

Short product description
Compact and versatile microplate stacker

Information

BioStack™ is a compact and versatile microplate stacker compatible with Agilent’s washers, dispensers, detectors and imaging systems. Its rapid plate exchange speeds increase throughput and enhance productivity, accommodating assay workflows for 96- and 384-well plates. The patented BioStack 4 offers efficient de-lidding and re-lidding of microplates for sensitive cell-based assays. Faster processing and walk away automation means increased throughput and greater productivity.

  • De-lidding and re-lidding microplates with fast plate exchange times
  • Ultra-fast plate transfers with BioStack Neo
  • Convenient re-stacking for complete automation of endpoint and kinetic processes
  • 10, 30 and 50 plate removable, exchangeable stacks
  • Super compact footprint saves bench space – and can fit in biosafety enclosure

  • Software

    BioStack control is available through the integrated instrument software; Gen5, LHC or Precision Power. Program definition incorporating BioStack operations is intuitive for endpoint and kinetic detection programs and single or multi-step liquid handling processes

  • Features

    De-lidding and re-lidding microplates with fast plate exchange times
    All BioStack models offer fast plate transfers to and from the integrated imager, multi-mode reader or liquid handling system. The new, patented BioStack 4 model offers efficient de-lidding and re-lidding of microplates for sensitive cell-based assays.

    Fast plate transfers with BioStack Neo
    BioStack Neo is specifically designed to integrate with Synergy Neo 2 for the fastest plate processing, facilitating high throughput requirements. BioStack Neo is a robust, compact system for up to 50 plates.

    Convenient re-stacking for complete automation of endpoint and kinetic processes
    No need for excessive manual plate handling. BioStack is programmable to restack plates to the source stack, providing complete process automation even for long-term kinetic runs.

    10, 30 and 50 plate removable, exchangeable stacks
    Stacks are easily removed and replaced on the BioStack and moved between multiple BioStacks in the lab. 10 and 30 plates stacks are compact enough to fit within a biosafety enclosure, and 50 plate stacks provide high throughput, walkaway automation.

    Super compact footprint saves bench space, and and can fit in biosafety enclosure
