Dual instrument system mounted on automate.it safecel system with connect cart technology

The supplied systems have been built around Caliper (Zymark) Twister I and Twister II and Hamilton SWAP laboratory robots. These have been used to load the microplates with the treated beads via a barcode reader and a Kendro (H & P) shaker to the plate reader. The unique Overlord3 control method allows full control of this plate reader. These integrated Luminex plate readers have been integrated in a number of laboratories of major international pharmaceutical companies.

The basic automated Luminex system consists of:

• Luminex Plate Reader
• Robot - plate transport
• Plate stacks
• Shaker - to get the beads homogenised in the carrier fluid
• Barcode reader - to positively identify the plate
