¶ Janus ex vitro transplanter
Description: The Janus Transplanter is NuPlant’s newest robotic system. It is designed for seamless ex-vitro transfers and automates the entire transplantation process, relieving the cost of manual labour. The machine picks up a row of four plantlets from a growth box, moves these above a nursery tray, changes the spacing to match that of the cell in the tray, then splays the pod open, ejects the agar plug in which the plantlet is growing, and then returns the empty pods to the empty growth box before progressing to the next row of plantlets.
Equipped with an ABB IRB1200-7/0.7 robotic arm and C30 Omnicore controller.
The plantlet’s roots are protected during the process, ensuring no setback in its development.
Throughput of 24,000 plantlets/shift (equal to 3 Gemini or 6 Sirius)
The robotic arm’s 0.01 mm precision allows the Janus to perform a meticulous yet fast transfer.
