Product description

4-axis robotic microplate handler with vision-enhanced precision, 750 mm/s speed, and smart gripper technology.

The Thermo Scientific F01981 Spinnaker is a high-precision *4-axis robotic microplate handler* designed to enhance automation workflows in biotechnology, molecular diagnostics, and bioprocessing laboratories. This advanced laboratory robotics system features:

  • Axis configuration: Z-Axis, Base, Elbow, and Wrist with infinite rotary motion, enabling complex vertical and rotational movements.
  • Elevator travel stroke: 635 mm with a maximum elevator speed of 750 mm/s for rapid and smooth microplate transfers.
  • Total height: 800 mm, accommodating various benchtop setups.
  • Smart gripper technology: Supports multiple microplate orientations, ensuring versatile compatibility in synthetic biology and molecular cloning workflows.
  • Vision-enhanced teaching: Enables precise automated positioning to optimize reproducibility and accuracy in high-throughput screening and biomanufacturing processes.
  • Integrated collision detection sensors: Enhance operational safety during automated runs.
  • Power requirements: 24V DC, 4A.

The Spinnaker robot is widely adopted in applications requiring exact microplate handling such as fluorescence analysis, live-cell imaging preparation, and clinical diagnostics automation. Compatible with Thermo Momentum scheduling software, it seamlessly integrates within automated bioprocessing pipelines, essential for gene editing and synthetic biology research environments.

Weighing 32.66 kg (72.0 lbs), the device ships in compact dimensions (60.96 cm x 57.91 cm x 121.92 cm), facilitating installation in varied laboratory spaces. This robotic system significantly improves throughput and consistency, critical for molecular biology researchers and professionals engaged in biopharmaceutical production pipelines.

Why Questpair exists

Lab equipment markets are fragmented. Buyers spend weeks calling distributors, comparing quotes, and verifying supplier reliability. Sellers struggle to reach global research labs.

We built Questpair to fix this. Every supplier on the platform is verified before listing. Every quote you receive comes from a real, vetted seller. AI prepares your case in minutes, then a real specialist takes over.

We're an independent team based in The Netherlands, working with research labs and procurement teams across Europe and worldwide.

Frequently asked questions

How long does laboratory equipment typically last?

With a service contract, ten to fifteen years is normal for most benchtop instruments. Detectors and pumps are the parts that wear first.

Can I get service for older equipment?

Often, yes. Verified suppliers frequently work with service partners converting the instrument. If applicable, we can list servicing options alongside the offer.

Where can I buy parts?

Ask a scientist through the request button. Parts are often available even when the instrument itself is discontinued.

What is the typical lead time for refurbished equipment?

Two to six weeks, depending on refurbishment scope and whether calibration is included.

Does laboratory equipment ship internationally?

We ship to 38 countries. Crating and customs handling are quoted with the instrument.
