Molecular Devices AquaMax 2000 & 4000 Microplate Washers
Item#: AQUAMAXThe 4-in-1 AquaMax® line of microplate washers are self-contained microplate washer systems fully configurable with user interchangeable heads for both 96- and 384-well microplate washing applications for both cell and plate washing. For use on biochemical assays such as ELISA the system can be configured with 96 or 384 plate wash heads to vigorously remove unbound material and reagents in microplate wells. By thoroughly washing plates, researchers can achieve lower background in their assays. For cell-based assays, the AquaMax Washer can be configured with the 96- and 384-well cell wash heads. Cell wash heads have angled dispensing pins to allow extremely gentle washing of weakly adherent cell types, maintaining cell integrity while ensuring thorough washing. This system has wash heads that can be changed in 30 seconds with no tools using the innovative head latch mechanism. Recalibration is not necessary as all heads are recognized by the AquaMax Washer base and by changing heads users can effectively have 4 plate washers in the space of 1.
- Install easily: The washer does not require external pumps or a computer to operate, minimizing bench space. Interchangeable wash heads can be installed in seconds without tools, calibration, or alignment
- Eliminate plate indexing: Aspiration and dispensing of 96- and 384-wells occur simultaneously in all wells leading to high-precision assays and faster microplate processing without mechanical plate indexing or quadrant processing.
- Run multiple wash protocols: Two- or four-fluid inlets with matching color-coded tubing facilitate quick assembly of the buffer and solution bottles and allow multiple wash protocols to be run without switching bottles.
- Trouble-free operation: Comprehensive cleaning protocols can be activated at the touch of a button for trouble-free operation. A standby feature keeps the washer primed and probe tips submersed in buffer for instant startup.
- Versatility: Precise dispense and aspiration control allow processing without cell disruption. Fast sequential, continuous, and bottom washing options reduce wash times to a minimum.
- Flexibility: By using automatically-detected, interchangeable 96 and 384 wash heads, the AquaMax washer configures easily to meet current and future, higher-density microplate application requirements.
- Automation: The washer is easy to integrate with the latest automation tools. It is compatible with the Molecular Devices StakMax® Microplate Stacker and many robotic plate handlers.
