LabLinx™ Automated Microplate Delivery System

A high-speed, modular, expandable stacker & track system that delivers microplates individually, or many plates simultaneously, to multiple instruments.

LabLinx Automated Microplate Delivery System offers users up to 10 times the throughput of ordinary microplate handling robots. It may be used with single or multiple instruments. For users needing complex, fully automated systems, LabLinx can connect independently operating workcells, providing the best of both simultaneous parallel workcells and end-to-end automation. Used together with our SoftLinx™ Lab Automation Software, it brings throughput, data management and ease-of-use to new levels.

Description

LabLinx Automated Microplate Delivery System is our unique linear track-based microplate delivery system that enables you to store and deliver plates to any compatible laboratory instrument, quickly and automatically.  LabLinx is mechanically robust and can turn an ordinary liquid handler into a complete automated workcell.

Easy to configure and set up, LabLinx Automated Microplate Delivery System greatly increase throughput by delivering labware to multiple instruments simultaneously. LabLinx will out-perform any track-mounted, articulating arm lab automation system.

  • Moves all types of labware: microplates, deep well plates, tip racks, tube racks, etc.
  • Links together multiple instruments and parallel workflows in a continuous production line flow.
  • Includes a plug-and-play computer interface.
  • Builds a high-speed automated workcell on existing bench space.
  • Easily reconfigures to accommodate new equipment and assays.
  • The StackLink can buffer plates to balance workflows with different throughput rates.
  • Fits easily in many standard laboratory hoods.
  • Expandable track system can grow with your research needs.
  • Eliminates the need to teach robot positions.
  • Can be easily re-configured for new equipment and assays.

All LabLinx systems come with SoftLinx™V Scheduling software, enabling the user to create automated methods quickly and easily.

LabLinx microplate stacker can service a single instrument, like Hudson’s Micro10x Reagent Dispenser (on the left) for unmatched speed in a simple filling application.  Or, LabLinx can move microplates through a series of instruments and systems in a complex workcell, as shown in the video clip below.

Applications

LabLinx Microplate Stacker offers users the ability to have a high-throughput, multi-tasking assay system on existing benchtops. LabLinx track segments link together to form a linear system that delivers plates to as many instruments as may be needed to perform any automated method.

LabLinx microplate stackers are used in:

  • Assay development
  • Cell biology
  • Bioassay validation
  • DNA quantification
  • PCR setup and cleanup
  • High-throughput drug screening

Some examples of LabLinx in action include:

  • Plate coating and blocking for ELISA assays
  • Barcode printing and labeling
  • Plate sealing
  • Integrating directly with an incubator
  • Delivering pipet tips and labware to many liquid handling robots including the Hudson Robotics’ SOLO
  • Automated reagent filling of various labware

 

Beckman NX / FX Integration –
Hudson Robotic’s LabLinx microplate stacker can transform your existing FX or NX liquid handler into a high-throughput workcell!•Maximize Efficiency•Increase Capacity•Expand your ROI
High-Throughput Cherry Picking – A compact, self-contained system that allows users to obtain assay plates comprised of the actual hits detected in a primary screen using the same compound source plates that provided the primary screen.
