ABSTRACT:
A device and method for expanding the distance between individual multiwell plates of a stack of multiwell plates so that all the plates can be loaded at once into a magazine commonly used in automated analysis systems. Significant to the device are a series of inter-connected rails, each rail capable of supporting one plate. As the distance between the rails is increased, the stack of plates is expanded and will align with slots from a magazine loader. By using the device, a stack can be expanded in preparation for loading, or conversely, plates coming from a magazine can be restacked for storage.
