Molecular Devices MultiWash Microplate Washer
Item#: MULTIWASHThe MultiWash Microplate Washer is a low-cost, 96-well microplate washer that can be used to perform a wide range of assays including enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), enzyme immuno assay(EIA), fluorescent immuno assay(FIA), luminescent immuno assay(LIA), cytotoxicity assays, and agglutination tests in flat, round, or V-bottom microplates. This system is configurable with user interchangeable wash manifolds to suit a variety of washing applications and is completely self-contained with no external pumps, and can be assembled and fully operational in just minutes. Once operational, the MultiWash III Washer can perform a 300 µL three-cycle wash on a 96-well plate in less than two minutes. For greater assay flexibility, users can wash any number of rows or columns, including washing the whole plate. All programming is done on the front display panel without the use of an external computer. The unique coaxial manifold design combines the dispense and aspiration channels into one probe which allows users to wash with greater speed than typical designs that have separated aspiration and dispense channels. The modular manifold design also allows users to wash in either column or row format depending on the manifold installed.
- Achieve efficiency: Achieve efficient washing with cross-wise aspiration and reduce residual volume within each well. The washer is vacuum and pressure free, with on-board pumps for a quiet wash experience.
- Eliminate pressurized bottles: The washer can dispense in 50-μL increments and tubing can be inserted into a variety of containers because pressurized bottles are not required.
- Gain benefits for lower throughputs: Gain benefits of a microplate washer for lower throughput applications and any assay that needs washing as a primary, intermediary, or final step before quantitation.
- Walk-up usability: The 20 different wash protocols include up to eight cycles within each protocol for walk-up usability and flexibility.
- Configurable Washing: Settings include adjustable speed and volume, adjustable aspiration speed and time, and adjustable soak times, with three modes of shaking available to mix solutions.
