It doesn't have a cover slip flipper.

We only do sitting drops with our robot- even large volumes (2 ul
drops).

We don't have the space to store the volume of linbro plates that would
be generated by a robot.

Also, 24 well linbro plates use a lot of well solution- making them very
expensive for initial screening if you use commercial screens.

But you could easily set up your drops (in reverse) on a glass plate or
framed mylar, and flip it onto a greased tray, or set up on sealing
tape, if that's important to you.

We have not found that it is important to us. We only move to hanging
drops after optimization, so it is a small number of linbro plates that
are easily be set up by hand.
