Microplate mover integration

A standalone gantry or robotic-arm device that adds automated plate transport to an existing manual or semi-automated lab setup without requiring a full integrated automation platform.

Where it's used

Gantry robots for wet labs
Overhead gantry and robotic-arm hardware that physically transports microplates and labware between instruments in an automated wet-lab workflow — the plate-movement layer distinct from the liquid-handling and colony-picking instruments it feeds — sold by four specialists (HighRes Biosolutions, Thermo Fisher, Peak Analysis and Automation, Agilent) spanning integrated automation-system builders through single-instrument microplate movers.
