The PlateCrane EX robotic arm features state-of-the-art controls and a new, rugged design. Never has lab automation been easier or more reliable. Interfaces are available to more than 150 microplate-based instruments, including virtually every reader, lab incubator, dispenser and pipettor commonly used in laboratories today. It has a capacity of up to 450 microplates, and makes it easy to configure a wide range of automation workcells. Throughout the drug discovery industry, PlateCranes have been used to increase the efficiency of numerous High Throughput Screens involving complex methods, such as FLIPR, Reporter, ELISA and FRET assays. With its built-in plate gripper and on-board controller, the PlateCrane pioneered the concept of a small, microplate robot serving multiple instruments, often from several different instrument manufacturers. PlateCranes give users the ability to use the best instruments available for the scientific task at hand within an easy-to-set-up benchtop workcell. Teaching Plate– Specially -machined PVC plate that simulates the footprint of an SBS microplate, with a standard 12.5mm height. When used for teaching robot positions, the Teaching Plate serves as a standard gauge to allow the PlateCrane to auto-adjust to the exact height of actual plates when operating under SoftLinx control. Vertical Reach: Maximum 22.75 in. from table, minimum 4.25 in. from table, total 18.0 in. vertical travel distance.

Control Computer– Supplied fully loaded with SoftLinx and all the plug-ins needed in the user’s workcell. Virtual Observatory Workshop on Plate Digitization by Doug Mink [PDF Powerpoint presentation] [PDF Paper for conference proceedings]The purpose of showing examples of different types of applications is to provide inspiration to the wide range of applications that can benefit from the use of piezo. We have listed examples of the most common industries, where piezo is used, but there are practically no limits to where piezo can be used. Read more about applications

Lid Nest – A specially-machined, robot accessible nest to hold an SBS-compatible microplate lid while the microplate is being processed in an instrument. Noliac designs, develops and manufactures customized piezoelectric material, components, actuators and plug-and-play piezo solutions of high quality. We are market leading in our product quality and also in the level of custom design possibilities. This makes us your piezo partner. Read more about customized design The PlateCrane EX provides walkaway automation for simple workcells with a single microplate instrument, or complex workcells with several instruments, multiple processes or even a complete assay. It comes with 4 axes of motion: tower rotation, vertical travel, a telescoping arm and gripper rotation. It includes an optional EasyTeach teaching pendant for easily setting plate positions in your workcell, and the revolutionary AutoTeach machine vision teaching system.The PlateCrane is also used to move microplates and filter plates in high throughput, automated DNA Plasmid Prep systems. Unlike systems offered by some plasmid prep kit manufacturers, Hudson’s wide array of automated dispensers, shaker nests and automated vacuum nests make PlateCrane-based plasmid prep systems truly walk-away: with no need for human intervention from start to finish, with throughput as high as six 96-well plates (576 samples) per hour. Since the early 2000s, researchers with the DASCH (Digital Access to a Sky Century @ Harvard) project have actively scanned the plates for digital storage and analysis. Digitization of the data and images can be used by contemporary astronomers to understand how objects in the night sky change over periods of years to decades. For the past 50 years, the Great Refractor has been used only for an occasional student or special research project, but still stands as an incredible example of 19th century scientific, engineering and architectural achievements.

ANSI/SBS Standard and low profile 96-, 384- and 1536-well plates; 24- and 48-well plates (model dependent) Maximum plate height: 23.2 mm This historic telescope on the rooftop of the Center for Astrophysics was built in 1847 and was the largest telescope in the United States for 20 years. Fundraisers for the first-class telescope include David Sears, John Quincy Adams and Joseph Peabody. Performs complete automated assays by linking multiple instruments with one or more PlateCrane EXs. Alliteration is always attractive (see what I did there?), and these words are short, alliterative, and suggestive. The same goes for the old BASIC commands peek and poke, which have the extra advantage of the parallel k's.Even in a system with segregated ROM/RAM fixed data allocations are easiest to build from the bottom up and thus replace the code portion of the above explanation. Noliac presents a unique proficiency in the field of piezoelectric technology. We design, develop and manufacture the total range of piezoelectric products - from powders to mono- and multilayer components and all the way to finished plug-and-play applications. Noliac was acquired by CTS Corporation on May 16, 2017. Read more about about us The PlateCrane EX™ is supplied with Hudson’s SoftLinx™ laboratory automation scheduling software. SoftLinx provides scheduling capability and an easy-to-use icon-based drag and drop Method Editor.
