The 1100 Series sample capacity extension is a small-footprint, pick-and-place robot that turns the 1100 Series LC/MSD into an open solution, for high-throughput and multi-user laboratories looking for high capacity and walk-up capabilities. The capacity extension enables users to execute up to 80 well plates and 1296 2-ml vials unattended and to add and prioritize plates and samples while the system is running. The capacity extension can handle different well-plate formats and vial plates, even mixed in a single run -- giving high flexibility for multi-user environments and central labs.The optional 1100 Series barcode reader allows barcode driven execution of sequences. It includes a stationary barcode reader, used for positive plate identification during the run, and a handheld barcode reader for convenient editing.
