Welcome to the World of Alpaqua® Racks and Accessories

Alpillo® Plate Cushion provides flexible microplate support on liquid handling decks to compensate for physical tolerances between microplates and pipettors and enable more precise automated pipetting at the bottom of the wells. Microplates supported by the Alpillo® Plate Cushion give way, limiting the force exerted by the tips as they push down.

Alpillo® Plate Cushion Extension Kit provides more flexible microplate support on liquid handling decks, needed for use with deeper plate nests, increasing the Plate Cushion height by 7.5 mm.

A 24-position SBS-compliant tube rack (A000260) for use on liquid handlers to accommodate a range of tube types from 15-16.6 mm in diameter and a length of 70 mm or more, such as 15 mL centrifuge tubes (VWR, Axygen, BD, Corning), 12 mL KIMAX culture tubes, Oragene OG-500 tubes or Tyco Monoject Tubes. 

A 24-position SBS-compliant tube rack (A000280) for use on liquid handlers, similar to the 15 mL tube rack A000260. However, the difference between them is that this rack has a closed bottom, the 15 mL centrifuge tubes sitting 0.5 mm above the deck.

A 6-position SBS-compliant tube rack for use on liquid handlers to accommodate tubes from up to 30 mm in diameter, including 50 mL centrifuge tubes.

A 10-position centrifuge tube rack for open Biomek ALP (Automated Labware Positioner). Centrifuge compliant tube rack to accommodate 15 mL and 50 mL conical centrifuge tubes.

Adapter for 0.2 mL PCR tubes and 0.5 mL microtube strips. Convert your MAGNUM FLX® (A000400), Magnum™ EX (A000380) or Catalyst™ 96 (A000550) magnet plate to be compatible with 0.2 mL PCR tube strips and 0.5 mL microtubes, or single tubes using this adapter.

A 24-position screw top vial and micro-centrifuge tube block with integrated Spring Cushion Technology. Constructed of solid aluminum to facilitate temperature control when placed on a peltier or other temperature controlled device.
