automate.it - Storage & Incubation

	Background
	Process Analysis & Automation supplies a range of software products, hardware products and completely integrated laboratory automation systems. OVERLORD features support for the laboratory robots from the following manufacturers: automate.it, Hudson, Jouan, Kendro, LiCONiC, PerkinElmer, TekCel, Thermo and Titertek. Storage systems and incubators are key components in any automation system. Used as the source for blank plates or sample plates, these devices come in a range of storage capacities and storage temperature ranges. Process Analysis & Automation offers a wide range of the available storage systems for integration into an automated workcell. Using our integration software packages, Overlord2 dynamic scheduler and OVERLORD Scheduler, each device can be integrated into a complete automated system with the users choice of robot. Advice on which scheduler type to choose, More... Each device can be integrated into a complete automated system with the users choice of laboratory robot and ancillary equipment. The laboratory robot is a key part of an automated system, and the selection of the correct robot for the system is very important. For advice on please go to system integration or download System Integration application note (LA223).
