Product description

Automated Thermo Scientific F01981 Spinnaker robotic arm for high-throughput microplate transport in lab automation.

The Thermo Scientific F01981 Spinnaker is an _automated microplate mover_ designed specifically for high-throughput laboratory workflows requiring precise and reliable microplate transport. This robotic arm integrates seamlessly into laboratory automation systems, facilitating efficient plate handling essential in biotechnology, molecular diagnostics, and bioprocessing environments.

Key technical specifications include:

  • Voltage compatibility: 120V, with dual frequency operation at 50/60 Hz
  • Weight: approximately 51.7 kg (114 lbs), designed for stability during operation
  • Compact shipping dimensions optimized for laboratory space (60.96 cm x 57.91 cm x 124.97 cm)

Despite being pre-owned with typical cosmetic wear, the unit includes a control connector for system integration but lacks a power connection and accompanying software; hence, full operational validation is recommended prior to deployment. It is widely regarded among researchers involved in synthetic biology, cell imaging, and biopharmaceutical production pipelines for its role in automating repetitive microplate handling tasks, which is critical in enhancing throughput and reproducibility.

This microplate mover robotic arm supports automation workflows in biotechnology labs requiring reliable instrument coordination for molecular cloning workflows, gene editing experiments, and live-cell imaging setups. Its application is crucial in environments where precision robotic handling improves data consistency and lab efficiency.

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.
