The PAA lidding station offers fast and reliable method for lidding and delidding plates.

The station uses compressed air to generate its own vacuum to hold the lids in place as the microplate is taken away, releasing the lid smoothly when it’s time to relid.

Benefits
Reliable – Removal of the lid by vacumn ensures that the lid position relative to the plate is constant, allowing the crucial relid step to be as accurate as possible
Fast – Simply moving to a position and having the lid held by vacuum is far quicker than having to explicitly  remove the lid with the same robotic arm
Capacity – With up to 4 lid nests, the number of plates that can be active on the system at anyone time is no longer restricted by the number of lidding positions. With full tracking within Overlord, the lids always remain paired up with the microplate they originally started with
