PlateCrane™ SciClops™ Robotic Arm

Our latest robotic arm with extended reach for accessing tough to reach instruments

With a 40% larger work envelope than the PlateCrane EX, and unlimited rotation. Handles any ANSI SLAS-standard microplate, including 96, 384, 1536- well, deep-well blocks and tip.

Description

The PlateCrane SciClops extended reach robotic arm is the latest version of our cylindrical automated robot arm, optimized for handling common labware, including microplates, reservoirs, and disposable tip racks. It is ideal for loading and unloading microplate-based lab instruments, such as readers, washers, and reagent dispensers.

Specifications

The PlateCrane™ SciClops™ extended reach robotic arm is available with either a standard gripper or a side gripper for random access applications.  Both grippers are rotary for working with either landscape or portrait nest positions
