A microplate stacker/ microplate handler is an accessory available to automate processes such as cleaning, moving, and analyzing microplates. With compatibility for microplate washers and analysis instruments, a microplate stacker can automate the handling of microplates and microplate readers reducing the risk of error while increasing laboratory throughput. When comparing the various microplate stacker and microplate handler options, consider the type and configuration of your microplates, many microplate handlers are capable of processing microplate tubes, as well as most standard-sized multiwell plates. Microplate handlers are also available in various sizes to accommodate up to hundreds of microplates simultaneously with transfer times commonly under 20 seconds to increase your laboratory throughput and scalability. For an all-in-one high throughput approach to increase laboratory automation, consider a microplate handler workstation that has capabilities such as sealing, labeling, washing, and prepping your microplates for analysis.
