The RapidStak features a telescoping arm design that allows it to deliver plates to the instrument while performing the next stack/destack operation simultaneously. This multi-tasking yields a load/unload time of less than six seconds. Maximum throughput of the RapidStak, assuming a 7 second or less instrument operation, is around 300 plates per hour.
