Automated Plate Transfers

Liquid Handling Deck Plate Holder Clamp Systems

Covaris has developed an easily removable clamp system to hold microTUBE and AFA-TUBE^® plates on the liquid handling deck during pipetting steps. This is a two-part system that includes a universal clamp and automation vendor specific adaptor that fits on the existing deck locators. The clamp system prevents plates from lifting off the liquid handling deck after piercing the foil with the tips.  Post sample preparation, the clamp system can be easily removed from the liquid handling deck.
