Biotek has announced that the ELX405 microplate washer is now available with vacuum filtration and biomagnetic separation modules to meet the demand for automated washing of microbead-based assays.
Full 96- and 384-well microplate washing for bead-based assays, as well as standard Elisas, is available for those incorporating various assay types.
The ELX405's variable-range vacuum filtration module automates polystyrene bead washing for microplate-based assays developed with popular multiplex assay platforms along with filtration-to-waste processes.
The biomagnetic separation module provides rapid and uniform separation of micrometre and nanometre-scale magnetic beads for the latest Luminex Xmap assay platforms.
Each model can also be formatted to wash Elisa and cell-based assays.
ELX405 models feature choice of keypad control or flexible liquid-handling control PC software and integrate into most leading robotic systems including Biotek's Biostack microplate stacker.
Also available are a dual-action wash manifold, automated four-buffer switching and Ultrasonic Advantage for unattended wash manifold maintenance.
