Robot-friendly clamps
The robot-Friendly clamps from the CR1900 series are designed to be easily closed and opened by human hands, and robotic arms alike.
In the "closed" position, the necessary force onto the sandwich cover (~ 150 N; to press the silicone seal tight enough onto the MTP) is exerted by two rectangular neodynium magnets.
To release the clamp, the long black knob needs to be rotated clock-wise by an angle of 90 degrees (either by hand, or using a robotic gripper)
This causes the rectangular magnets to be positioned perpendicular to each other, which reduces the magnetic attractive force between the magnet to zero.
A torsion spring then makes the handle go automatically from a horizontal to a vertical position, and so the MTP + sandwich cover can be tilted out (either by hand, or using a robotic gripper)

- CR1902a (Two-position clamp for kuhner platforms only)
- CR1902 (Two-position clamp, for Kuhner, Infors, and New Brunswick/Eppendorf shakers)
- CR1904a (Four-position clamp for kuhner platforms only)
- CR1904 (Four-position clamp, for Kuhner, Infors, and New Brunswick/Eppendorf shakers)
for extra tall deepwell MTPs (such as CR1406):
- CR1902ha (Two-position clamp for kuhner platforms only)
- CR1902h (Two-position clamp, for Kuhner, Infors, and New Brunswick/Eppendorf shakers)
