Biomek Stacker Carousel

Biomek Stacker Carousel


The Biomek Stacker Carousel provides external supply and storage of microplates, deep-well plates, and P20 and P250 pipette tips for the Biomek 2000 Laboratory Automation Worstation. This increases capacity and walk-away operation of the Biomek 2000 for all applications.
  • Two configurations, for use on the left side or right side of the Biomek 2000
  • Up to two carousels can be used at once
  • Two types of stacks:
    • Stacker 20 - holds up to 20 lidded or unlidded microplate
    • Stacker 10 - holds up to 10 lidded or unlidded tip racks, deep well plates and/or reservoirs
  • Control of the Stacker Carousel is integrated into BioWorks software that controls the Biomek 2000
  • Biomek Gripper Tool is used to transfer plates from Stacker Carousel shuttle to Biomek 2000 work surface.
