Running without Lids
Running with Lids
(BioStack 4 Only)
Height:
Note: The minimum plate height is a
function of the stacked height, the
plate skirt height, the plate height
dip switch setting, and the control
method. See Control Method
Limitations: on page 89.
See Microplate and Lid Dimensions
on page 53.
Warp: The warp for all models complies with SLAS standards: When resting on a flat
surface, the top surface of the plate must be parallel to the resting surface
within 0.76 mm (0.0299"); except BioStack 4 supports low-profile plates with
a warp value within 2.2 mm.
Important: Less-rigid polypropylene, low-profile PCR plates must have
sealing tape applied over the entire top surface.
Max
Weight:
12.0 lbs (5.5 kg) 7.0 lbs (3.2 kg)
Maximum weight for all plates with fluid in a single stack.
The BioStack is not compatible with removable-strip-type microplates.
Lids BioStack 4 Only
Width: 85.48 mm (3.365") ± 0.50 mm (0.019") along entire edge
Length: 127.76 mm (5.030") ± 0.50 mm (0.019") along entire edge
Minimum Height: 3.5 mm (0.138")
Other requirements:
Minimum Gap: 1.25 mm (0.049") Plate short-side flange to lid
Lid on Plate: 16.9 mm (0.665") Max overall height
Plate on Lid: 23.2 mm (0.913") Max overall height
Stay-On Lid Mode (BioStack 4 Only)
When these conditions are met the BioStack 4 handles certain low-density plates
with lids. This mode offers the ability to keep the lid on the plate for the duration of
the protocol.
