Fully Customizable Plate Mover Featuring Quick-Connect Modules

Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc. has announced the release of the new Thermo Scientific OrbitorBenchTrak, a fully customizable plate mover with quick-connect modules.

TheOrbitor™BenchTrak extends the functionality and versatility of the Orbitor RS plate mover, providing a fully customizable automation solution that fits into existing laboratory space – either “on-bench” or “in-bench.” Multiple OrbitorBenchTraks can connect to form complex system layouts, and a range of “click-in” components, such as instrument loading platforms, mezzanines, guarding and microplate stores, can be easily incorporated to address almost any customer workflow requirement.

The PC-driven OrbitorBenchtrak features Thermo Scientific Momentum 3software, which enables users to configure it for a wide variety of benchtop workflows including sample preparation, ELISA, nucleic acid and protein purification, cell or biochemical assays, qPCR and next-generation sequencing. A new Thermo Scientific LOCaMotion touch screen teaching wizard guides users through the configuration process. The OrbitorBenchTrak empowers the user to create and customize a benchtop workstation that is ideal for automating their unique workflow applications.

The OrbitorBenchTrak is available for both new systems and field upgrades for existing Orbitor RS workstations, enabling systems to grow with the laboratory needs.
