Microplate Hotel

TAP Biosystems introduced a new microplate hotel for use with its CompacT SelecT automated cell culture system. The new plate hotel is compatible with LiCONiC plate incubators and allows users to transfer entire stacks of plates between the CompacT SelecT and LiCONiC incubator based screening systems, thus saving scientists’ time and improving the efficiency of supplying consistent quality cells to increase throughput in cell-based screening operations. The new microplate hotel, developed in conjunction with LiCONiC AG, is compatible with their STR incubator range. This ensures researchers can reduce plate transfer times and reduce the risks associated with manual plate relocations. The addition of the new LiCONiC-compatible 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 programmes.
