Some purple microtitre plate carriers and carrierless clear plates, all stacked up on a Beckman/Sagian robotics carousel. This was part of an Orchid Biosciences SNPStream 25k genotyping system, originally. Everything's 384-well format.
The 25k was an enormous behemoth of a robotic system built around a Beckman/Sagian core system, with a 3-metre robotic rail, a MultiMek liquid handler, and a whole raft of multi-drops and plate washers. It did single-plex SNP genotyping, with two-colour ELISA chemistry.
It's since been supplanted by a couple of generations of low-density microarray-based instruments, most recently the Beckman GenomeLab SNPstream. Thank goodness.
