BioTek BioStack 4 Automated Benchtop Microplate Stacker for Plate Loading and Unloading
Product Description
The BioTek BioStack 4 Microplate Stacker is a compact, automated benchtop system designed for efficient microplate loading and unloading in laboratories utilizing BioTek instrumentation. Suitable for integration with BioTek microplate readers, washers, and liquid handling systems, this stacker supports both lidded and unlidded standard-height microplates, including low-profile PCR plates and taller variants when properly stacked.
Key technical features include:
- Rotational wrist design enabling plate orientation at +90°, -90°, and 0° for compatibility with diverse instrument configurations.
- Controlled stepper motor-driven movements ensure repeatable, precise handling during unattended batch processing.
- Support for up to 30 plates per stack in unlidded configurations; approximately 25 plates with lids in a 30-plate stack and about 8 with lids in smaller stacks.
- Automated lid removal and replacement functionality during instrument access to maintain plate integrity and reduce contamination risk.
- Operates reliably within an environmental range of 18 °C to 40 °C with controlled humidity up to 80% relative humidity at 31 °C, decreasing to 50% at 40 °C, suitable for typical biomedical and bioprocessing environments.
- Compact footprint measuring 21 × 8 × 24 inches, weighing 26 lbs, optimized to conserve valuable bench space in biomanufacturing and molecular diagnostics labs.
The BioStack 4's seamless integration with BioTek’s Gen5 data analysis software and liquid handling control systems enhances workflow automation essential in molecular biology, synthetic biology, and clinical research laboratories. Its precise plate handling capabilities make it critical in bioprocessing applications such as high-throughput screening and gene editing workflows.
This microplate stacker provides a reliable, efficient solution for automated batch microplate processing, widely adopted in biotechnology and biomedical engineering settings where contamination control and process reproducibility are paramount.
