BioTek BioStack 4 Automated Microplate Stacker Unit 8 with 50-Plate Capacity
Product Description
The BioTek BioStack 4 Microplate Stacker Unit 8 is an automated microplate handling system designed to enhance laboratory workflow automation, particularly in molecular diagnostics, biotechnology, and high-throughput screening applications. This compact and robust stacker supports storage and automated transfer of up to 50 microplates simultaneously, integrating seamlessly with BioTek microplate readers and washers such as the EL406, 405 Touch/LS, MultiFlo FX, and Cytation series.
Key technical specifications:
- Microplate Capacity: Supports multiple stack sizes with standard operation including two 30-plate tall lidded stacks or a 50-plate non-lidded stack.
- Compatible Plate Formats: Standard and low-profile 96-, 384-, and 1536-well microplates; Nunc plates including 6-, 12-, 24-, and 48-well plates with maximum plate heights of 16.9 mm (with lids) and up to 23.2 mm for Nunc plates.
- Processing Speed: Plate exchange time is under 24 seconds with plate de-lidding and less than 12 seconds without lids, optimizing throughput in demanding workflows such as ELISA automation and drug discovery assays.
- Power Requirements: Operates on 100–240 VAC, 50/60 Hz.
- Dimensions and Weight: Measures 21 x 8.3 x 15.7 inches (54 x 21 x 40 cm) and weighs 30 lbs (13.6 kg), saving lab space in environments with limited bench availability.
Functional features:
- Fully automated stacking and unstacking of microplates enhance walk-away time and reduce manual handling errors critical in bioprocessing and cell-based assays.
- Compatible with a broad range of BioTek instruments including plate washers and readers, enabling integrated workflows in genomics workflows, assay development, and synthetic biology research.
- User-friendly software supports easy programming, facilitating customization in complex molecular cloning workflows and biomanufacturing support processes.
- Delivered with power adapter and two 30-plate tall lidded stacks as standard; additional stack sizes available on request.
Application domains:
Widely used in clinical diagnostics, biotechnology R&D, and pharmaceutical labs, the BioStack 4 is essential for automating workflows in molecular diagnostics, high-throughput screening, cell-based assays, and drug discovery pipelines. Its ability to interface with microplate readers and washers makes it highly valuable in biopharmaceutical production pipeline automation.
Quality assurance:
Each unit undergoes rigorous functional testing including mechanical inspections, motorized component validation, and communication verification with BioTek washers (e.g., Elx405 series), ensuring reliable performance out of the box. Extended warranty options and remote training sessions are available for enhanced post-sale support.
The BioTek BioStack 4 Microplate Stacker Unit 8 is a high-throughput laboratory automation accessory optimized for efficient microplate handling, critical in biotechnological research and clinical assay automation. Its integration capabilities and compact footprint make it a popular choice among molecular biology researchers and biotechnologists aiming for streamlined assay workflows.
