Biotek Instruments has introduced a select deep-well washer for applications such as plasmid DNA purification, serum/plasma sample preparation and hematopoietic progenitor cell enumeration.
The new ELx405 is a robot-compatible, full-plate washer for automated aspirate and dispense steps in 96- and 384-well plates measuring up to 50mm in height.
It can also accommodate standard 15mm microplates.
This delivers increased washing efficiency when compared with manual and handheld methods.
The select deep-well washer also features the company's patented Dual-Action manifold for independent and precise aspirate/dispense control and variable flow rates and angled dispensing for optimised cell washing.
Washing protocols may be created and run through the familiar keypad interface or through Biotek's LHC software.
In addition, optional Ultrasonic Advantage integrated ultrasonic cleaners provide manifold self maintenance, and optional automatic one-to-four wash buffer switching further enhances efficiency.
