The latest addition to Tecan's Aquarius multi-channel pipettor line, the AutoLoader Benchtop Multi-Channel Pipetting Solution collects, sorts, and stores various plate types for Aquarius, and is fully compatible with the stacker systems on the company's detection and screening units. With a capacity of 250 plates or 72 disposable tip racks, it significantly adds to Aquarius' flexibility and capabilities. AutoLoader features six stacker columns for individual plate and tip storage, providing a large capacity and thereby enabling researchers to save time for more important tasks. Moreover, the Aquarius AutoLoader system optimizes processing time and throughput by simultaneous pipetting and loading/unloading of plates. The system closes the gap between the prepared plates and the plate processing units.
