Automated Plate Replicator
 | APR is an ideal complement to REMP storage systems as a "workhorse" for the production of plates and tubes. |
APR (Automated Plate Replicator) is a module for batch-wise diluting, copying and reformatting of plates (DWP and SWP) and REMP tube racks (96 & 384). Standard procedures are [96 to 96] [96 to 384] [384 to 384]. The combination of 96 / 384 head pipetters allows even complex reformat and copy procedures within the same run.
APR covers the whole process, from spinning and piercing of the source plates to the protection and closing of the destination plates applying inert gas and heat seals.
APR is an ideal complement to REMP storage systems as a "workhorse" for the production of plates and tubes.
