Description
The top-load and front-load racks have fold-down
carrying handles.
A pair of vertical tabs are located at the bottom on the
rack sides. The tabs insert into slots on the device
when you mount the rack onto the device.
A gripper is located on the interior bottom of each tab.
The pair of grippers hold a microplate during the
labware loading, unloading, downstacking, and
upstacking processes. A clamp in the device opens
and closes the grippers.
