When your lab needs to move faster, robotic movers make the difference. Thermo Fisher Scientific’s portfolio is built to help you automate plate handling, reduce manual steps, and keep experiments moving—without delays or errors.
Whether you're scaling throughput, improving consistency, or freeing up scientists for higher-value work, our robotic movers deliver the speed, precision, and flexibility modern labs demand. They integrate easily with your instruments and software, helping you scale operations and drive results—day after day.
The Thermo Scientific Orbitor RS2 Microplate Mover is a compact, radial-arm microplate mover designed for high-throughput labs that need speed and flexibility without sacrificing space. With 360° instrument access and support for up to 360 standard microplates, it enables continuous, unattended operation across multiple devices.
The Thermo Scientific Spinnaker 3 Microplate Robot is a collaborative SCARA-type robot optimized for labs that need fast, flexible plate movement with minimal setup. Its vision-guided teaching and auto-leveling grippers reduce manual calibration and ensure consistent handling across a wide range of labware.
The Thermo Scientific F7 Robot combines industrial-grade performance with lab-specific design, making it ideal for high-throughput, precision-critical workflows. With six-axis motion, ±0.02 mm repeatability, it delivers smooth, vibration-free movement—even at full speed. Its compact footprint and flexible mounting options make it easy to integrate into tight or complex lab environments.
The Thermo Scientific AMR brings mobility to lab automation, enabling autonomous transport of labware between workstations, rooms, or even floors. It’s ideal for distributed workflows where manual handoffs slow down throughput or introduce variability.

Extend the power of your automation system with modular accessories designed to streamline workflows and scale with your lab. From sample loaders to microplate shuttle systems, accessories like the Vanquish UHPLC Loader, the FastTrak Connector, and the BenchTrak Solution help you build flexible, end-to-end solutions with minimal manual intervention.
Automate your analytical workflows with the Thermo Scientific Vanquish UHPLC Loader, designed to seamlessly integrate with Thermo Scientific Vanquish UHPLC Systems and robotic movers. It enables end-to-end automation from sample preparation to LC-MS analysis, improving throughput, reproducibility, and data integrity.
Connect islands of automation with the Thermo Scientific FastTrak Connector—a robust container mover built for fast, efficient transfers between workcells or within larger automated systems. Its flexible architecture supports scalable layouts and “bus stop” access along the track to enable expanded, end-to-end enterprise workflows.
Extend the Orbitor RS2 mover or the Spinnaker 3 robot on the bench with the Thermo Scientific BenchTrak Solution —a bench-top robot and track system that increases usable workspace. For the Orbitor RS2 mover it also enables multi-position loading across instrument decks. Designed for easy deployment and reconfiguration, the BenchTrak solution supports modular “click-in” accessories and a straightforward upgrade path for existing Orbitor RS2 mover and Spinnaker 3 robot users.
