Multi-Blot Replicator with 96 magnetic pins for stirrer extraction
V&P Scientific Magnetic Replicators coupled with the Magnetic Stirrer Pickup and Unloading System provide a simple and efficient method of sterilely removing tumble stirrers from microplates.
The VP 770 Pickup Magnet Plate is used to stand the stirrers up on its south pole and provide the magnetic field for the Magnetic Replicators. When the magnetic pins of the VP 408M Replicator contacts the stirrers, the stirrers attach themselves to the pins and can be lifted from the wells.
Once removed from the wells they are easily unloaded by passing over the VP 770 Unloading Magnet that has both a powerful north and south pole facing up.
By moving the Replicator back and forth between the north and south poles the stirrers fall off the Replicator pins as they attempt to reverse polarity and are captured on a tray that sits on top of the VP 770 Unloading Magnet. The tray is then removed and the stirrers are decanted, demagnetized (using the VP 781 Demagnetizer), washed, sterilized and reused.
