New Plate Handler Re-defines Lab Automation

摘要

Peak Analysis & Automation(PAA)announces the launch of its S-LAB~TM automated plate handler.Breaking the mould of traditional solutions to make it easier for labs to automate,S-LAB is an easy-to-use,compact,and affordable single instrument loading solution,with the same reliability as a robotic arm.Robotic arms,while reliable,are expensive,large,and require complicated installations.On the other hand,many cheaper,smaller plate handlers lack the same level of reliability,especially when dealing with lidded plates.Recognising this challenge,PAA developed S-LAB to bridge the gap and make automation more accessible.Compatible with a wide variety of bench top instruments,the S-LAB easily fits standard lab benches and most safety cabinets,delivering reliable automation that accommodates varying workflows and lab space,without stretching budgets.PAA has used its expertise to re-define automation,harnessing the very best of laboratory robotics to deliver a truly easy-to-use system,while eliminating complicated installations and robot teaching.An on-board camera system enables easy instrument alignment and verification and there is no requirement for a separate PC thanks to an embedded controller and software.S-LAB is easily controlled via a smart,web-based application with a simple,intuitive user interface that can be run on any device-including a smartphone.
