paa range of robots and accessories

racking and stacking systemsWe offer a wide range of microtitre plate storage solutions for automated and robotic systems. All of our plate storage products integrate perfectly with the KiNEDx Robot as well as many other systems.

Our Stacks and Random Access Hotels are designed with human interfacing in mind. Both provide for hand loading from one side and robotic access from the other. Our new dual grip finger design allows the KiNEDx robot to access both Stacks and Hotels.

These plate storage products are all mature third-generation designs, benefiting extensively from actual field experience. These innovative and advanced technologies will enhance the efficiency and reliability of your automated storage processes.

paa Q-Stacker FIFO plate stacker

paa q stacker
Our industry-exclusive Q-Stacker is a First-In-First-Out (FIFO) plate stacker designed for sequential batch processing of microplates, e.g., assays requiring room temperature incubation. The Q-Stacker can often replace larger and more complex random access storage schemes. It can be run in both manual and fully automatic modes. Q-Stacker details paa range of robots
