Automation, Versatility, Compatibility
Brandel's Plate Carousel for the Beckman Biomek® Side Loader System lends a new level of hands-off automation to your Beckman system by significantly increasing its sample capacity.
By changing the removable shelf stacks, a single carousel can be configured to accommodate 64 plates, 32 P20 or P250 tip boxes, 32 reservoirs or 24 P1000 tip boxes. Up to three carousels can be mounted to the Side Loader, nearly tripling its standard capacity.
Developed in cooperation with Beckman, the Brandel CA-164 Carousel is fully integrated into the Side Loader's robotic operation and Beckman's BioWorks software.
