S-LAB™ Pro microplate handler

For automation of Tecan’s plate readers and washers

The S-LAB Pro microplate handler is a third-party*, entry level automation solution for research-use, which is compatible with the HydroSpeed™ plate washer, as well as with the Infinite® 200 PRO, and the Spark® microplate reader families from Tecan.

It combines the compact footprint of a microplate handler with the reliability of a robotic arm for plate loading in portrait, and in landscape-orientation, as well as for de-lidding and re-lidding of most typical 96 & 384-well microplates.

The S-LAB Pro comes with large plate capacity of up to 100 non-lidded, respectively 80 lidded-plates per run, and includes a barcode scanner for checking plate-identities.

Integrated application flexibility

The S-LAB Pro supports typical batch-type and kinetic workflows for a broad range of applications using up to two host instruments. For full control of the workflows a LapTop with the Overlord™ scheduling software and the Harmony user interface from PAA is required. An easy-to-use pre-run checklist is available for the operator to define run-specific parameters berfore starting a predefined script, such as the number of plates to be processed, and if plate-delidding and barcode reading is required.

For interfacing with the Tecan Infinite 200 Pro and the Spark reader the Tecan Magellan / SparkControl Magellan data analysis software is required, and for connecting with the HydroSpeed plate washer the HydroControl software is needed.

Looking for automated plate washing?

The combination of the S-LAB Pro plate handler with the HydroSpeed plate washer gives you a compact solution for automated washing of cells, beads and ELISAs. For an easy start a predefined script is available.

Need to maintain sterility?

To maintain sterility the S-LAB Pro can load lidded plates into the Spark reader equipped with environmental control and integrated lid-lifter function, for delidding inside the reader before measurement.

Need plate delidding berfore reading?

To minimize evaporation during a stacker run, the use of lidded plates can be helpful. The S-LAB Pro plate handler supports automated de-lidding after loading the Infinite 200 PRO reader.
