Hudson’s PlateCrane and LabLinx are industry standard instruments for moving SBS-standard microplate around multi-component workcells. However, another best-kept secret about Hudson is our array of accessories that allow users to manipulate all kinds of non-standard “plates”.
Some examples include:
- Microscope Slides (with and without slide carriers)
- Petri Dishes
- Ion Torrent Chips
- Illumina PCR Plates
- Fludigm
- Forte Bio Sensor Holders
- Centrifuge tubes
