Microplate Hotel

TAP Biosystems has introduced a microplate hotel for use with its Compact Select automated cell culture system. It is compatible with Liconic plate incubators and allows users to transfer entire stacks of plates, thus saving time and improving the efficiency of supplying consistent quality cells to increase throughput in cellbased screening operations.

The microplate hotel, developed in conjunction with Liconic, is compatible with their STR incubator range. Researchers can thereby reduce plate transfer times and reduce the risks associated with manual plate relocations. The addition of the plate hotel extends the functionality of Compact Select to provide fully automated aseptic cell culture processing for a continuous supply of consistent quality cells, thereby increasing productivity in cell-based screening programs.
