CHAPTER 1 - Overview
The Print and Apply is an automated Barcode Labeling System. It creates and attaches
printed labels to any SBS-standard microplate or microplate lid. The Print and Apply can
apply labels any of the four sides of a microplate. The Print and Apply’s applicator head
has 35mm of vertical travel which can hit anywhere on a standard microplate. The Print
and Apply has an optional barcode scanner that can be mounted within range of the base,
so you can print and confirm barcodes in one step. For a complete “walk away” system,
the unit can be integrated with a Hudson Robotics PlateCrane EX.
This manual will explain how to setup your Print and Apply to achieve optimal
