Lab Automation Made Easy with the S-LAB™ Automated Plate Handler

Transitioning from a fully manual to an automated process takes your science to the next level: commercialization, standardization or scale-up. However, the first step towards automation can be daunting. PAA, a global leader in laboratory automation, can help you make this change. With the S-LAB automated plate handler, PAA’s entry-level automation solution is designed for multiple applications and ease of use.

For established integrations, look no further than S-LAB. This highly flexible plate handler can load multiple plates into a wide range of automated benchtop instruments from different manufacturers. For an ever-expanding list of standard instruments (such as Miltenyi MACCS, Tecan Hydrospeed, Tecan Infinite 200 and SPARK readers, Quant Studio qPCR, Thermo Multidrop) they offer rapid installation for a proven integration platform that allows unattended sample analysis. And facilitates scalability. For other instruments we can provide a custom integration service. Applications for S-LAB integrations include reagent delivery, cellular assays, drug development and genomics.

S-LAB’s top loaded stacks ensure compatibility with virtually any plate type. S-LAB has the capacity to efficiently process up to 7 deep well plates with liquid dispensers and up to 100 uncoated microtiter plates. And where sterility is required for cell-based or sensitive assays, S-LAB handles up to 80 microliter plates with lids. A barcode reader and optical plate detection ensure sample traceability. And reliable, unattended operation.

Installation is quick and easy as S-LAB comes with preset positions. Only the instrument position needs to be learned – full system training is not necessary. S-LAB has a very flexible format. It comes with six slide-in shelves, which can accept all types of storage components. These can be installed in various configurations, including a compact size suitable for safety cabinet installations.
