BioTek BioStack 3 BIOSTACK3WR Automated Microplate Stacker for 96-, 384-, 1536-Well Plates

The BioTek BioStack 3 BIOSTACK3WR is an automated microplate stacker designed for seamless integration into high-throughput laboratory workflows. Compatible with standard and low-profile 96-, 384-, and 1536-well microplates, it supports 10-, 30-, and 50-plate stack configurations, accommodating a maximum plate height of 14.6 mm. Key features include:

• Fast plate exchange time of less than 10 seconds, significantly enhancing assay throughput and productivity in applications such as ELISA, cell-based assays, compound screening, and automated plate reading/washing.
• Compatibility with BioTek instruments including EL406 washers, MultiFlo dispensers, PowerWave and Epoch readers, Synergy multimode readers, and Cytation imagers, ensuring cohesive integration within automated assay workflows common in molecular diagnostics and bioprocessing laboratories.
• Compact design suitable for biosafety cabinet environments, facilitating safe, contamination-controlled workflows critical in biotechnology and biomedical engineering research.
• Power input of 100–240 VAC, 50/60 Hz with a unit weight of approximately 11.3 kg (25 lbs), enabling easy incorporation into benchtop laboratory settings.
• Delivered with a power adapter, communication cable, and two 30-plate stacks for versatile storage and automated handling.

This microplate stacker is essential for laboratories focusing on synthetic biology, gene editing, and other advanced molecular biology applications requiring efficient, reliable microplate handling. Its role in automating endpoint and kinetic workflows makes it widely adopted in biomanufacturing and clinical diagnostics pipelines.

Prior to shipment, each BioStack 3 unit undergoes rigorous functional testing, including mechanical and motorized component inspection, communication validation, and plate transfer verification using BioTek washers, ensuring full operational readiness. Warranty and after-sales technical support are provided to maintain instrument performance and longevity.

This system supports automation integration that accelerates molecular cloning workflows, fluorescence analysis, and live-cell imaging assays, making it a critical asset in biotechnology-focused research and development environments.
