Microplate Mover

By Drug Discovery Trends Editor | June 3, 2010

orbitorThermo Fisher Scientific Inc., a leader in serving science, announced the North American debut of the new Thermo Scientific Orbitor RS at LabAutomation 2010. Developed using proven technology from the well-known Thermo Scientific RapidStak and Thermo Scientific Dimension4 product lines, the Orbitor RS is a high-speed microplate mover offering proven, reliable performance with totally flexible plate handling. Extensive vertical reach allows multiple-stacked or high-density instruments to be loaded in a small footprint, and a bi-directional telescoping arm provides superior reach, improved user safety and unlimited base rotations within a 360-degree workspace.

For unmatched speed and throughput, the Thermo Scientific Orbitor RS accommodates any SBS plate format, from shallow to deep well, in addition to tip boxes and lids, tubes or racks. This flexibility is further supported by random or sequential plate access and the ability to mix modes of storage as assay requirements change. Laboratory safety is maximized as the robotic arm is able to pass through the base and remain inside the rotating base while turning. With closed-loop motion control, collision detection and position recovery, the Orbitor RS will become the most reliable microplate mover in its class. It offers speed and efficiency in a compact, cost-effective solution suitable for smaller workspaces, and it offers numerous storage options and operational flexibility for a multitude of set-ups and configurations. Finally, the flexibility of the Orbiter RS makes it suitable for a variety of instrument loading requirements from OEMs to individuals working on small automated workstations with Momentum automation scheduling software.

The Thermo Scientific Orbitor RS expands the existing Thermo Scientific range of automated technologies for drug discovery and addresses the demand for increased throughput, storage capacity and operational flexibility.
