About the
MICROLAB®
Carousel
The MICROLAB® Carousel (figure 1) is a modular component. The carousel is intended for use with the MICROLAB® SWAP application. Multiple units can be placed around a MICROLAB® SWAP (Swivel Arm Platehandler) to provide additional plate capacity for a MICROLAB® pipetting workstation. The carousel provides an integrated solution for increased volume for plate based sample processing.
The carousel works with two platter sizes to address multiple capacity requirements. Various SWAP stacks and shelves can sit atop the carousel, providing storage of plates and plate sized consumables.
The carousel can also be used for storage of disposable tips, for some applications and instruments.
MICROLAB® Vector software is used to control the carousel.
