Innovadyne Technologies Announces Integration of Nanodrop with Titertek and Thermo Plate Stackers
Santa Rosa, CA -- Sept. 22, 2006
Innovadyne Technologies announced today that it now offers plate stackers from Thermo Electron Corp. and Titertek Instruments Inc. -- the Titertek Titan™ and Thermo RapidStak™ -- as integrated benchtop peripherals for use with all Nanodrop™ systems for unattended high-throughput operations.
The Thermo RapidStak uses a telescoping gripper arm that sets one plate down precisely into position on the Nanodrop stage, and removes and restacks it following dispensing. The Titertek Titan's telescoping platform delivers one or two plates to the Nanodrop stage, guided into a registered position by a docking platform, thus enabling the Nanodrop to aspirate from and dispense to accurately positioned plates.
Both stacker devices are fully controlled by user-configurable steps in Innovadyne's Nanobuilder© software, enabling seamless installation and eliminating the need to develop custom interfaces. While the stacker is delivering and restacking plates, the Nanodrop can perform wash and aspirate operations in parallel, reducing total cycle time. Both stackers have small footprints, enabling the user to place the entire integrated device -- stacker and Nanodrop stage -- into a standard laboratory hood. Both also offer the means to deliver the dispensed plate to other peripherals, such as plate sealers and microplate readers.
