Overview of StakMax Microplate Handling System

 

The StakMax® Microplate Handling System is a powerful, compact, benchtop microplate stacker that works seamlessly with Molecular Devices microplate readers and washers for improved process flow and higher throughput. The system comes with a single plate loading adapter and a choice of magazines for 20, 40 or 50 SBS-standard 96- and 384-well microplates, and barcode reading. All integration tools provided are easy to set up for each configuration.

Features

  • Ease of use Icon

    Simple to use

    All the tools necessary for setup are standard, including a software calibration procedure. The entire setup process takes about 15 minutes and, once the system is aligned, it is ready to operate.

  • Flexible operation Icon

    Flexible operation

    When integrated with the AquaMax® Washer, a batch of 20 ELISA microplates can be processed in as little as 13 minutes. Plates can be restacked to the input stack when a batch is completed, for further processing.

  • Efficient Icon

    Minimal plate movement

    The stacker is designed to minimize plate movement time, while handling the microplates gently, eliminating liquid spillage.

  • Expandable Icon

    Barcode reading

    A barcode reader accessory can be purchased with the system or added later and is easily installed onsite. The barcode reader can be configured to read either the short or long side of the microplate.
