Description
The Molecular Devices MultiWash Microplate Washer is an automated, quiet, and highly efficient benchtop platform engineered to optimize immunoassay and ELISA workflows with a space-saving laboratory footprint. Operating with a vacuum-free and pressure-free configuration utilizing integrated on-board pumps, this standalone washer offers walk-up usability with programmable software capable of storing custom protocols. Featuring customizable cross-wise aspiration mechanics, it maximizes wash efficiency while minimizing residual fluid volume to eliminate false positives or assay interference. It connects cleanly to multiple wash and rinse channels without the need for specialized pressurized containers, making it an excellent, low-noise choice for routine clinical and academic laboratory applications.
Features:
-
Walk-Up Program Flexibility: Built with an intuitive integrated control panel capable of storing user-defined wash protocols with multiple distinct internal wash cycles.
-
Efficient Fluid Removal: Uses cross-wise fluid aspiration pathways to actively reduce the residual volume inside each microplate well down to less than 1 microliter.
-
Independent Delivery System: Designed with reliable on-board fluidics pumps that eliminate the strict requirement for expensive, high-maintenance pressurized bottle setups.
-
Versatile Processing Modes: Outfitted with customizable controls for liquid dispensing speed, volume increments, soak timing durations, and multiple linear agitation shaking speeds.
-
Flexible Multi-Plate Compatibility: Accommodates standard ANSI SBS footprint microplates with options to utilize standard 8-channel, 12-channel, or 16-channel washing manifolds.
