It doesn't have a cover slip flipper. We only do sitting drops with our robot- even large volumes (2 ul drops).
We don't have the space to store the volume of linbro plates that would be generated by a robot. Also, 24 well linbro plates use a lot of well solution- making them very expensive for initial screening if you use commercial screens. But you could easily set up your drops (in reverse) on a glass plate or framed mylar, and flip it onto a greased tray, or set up on sealing tape, if that's important to you. We have not found that it is important to us. We only move to hanging drops after optimization, so it is a small number of linbro plates that are easily be set up by hand. -- Lisa Nagy University of Alabama-Birmingham [EMAIL PROTECTED]
