BioTek 405 TS Touch Screen Microplate Washer for 96- and 384-Well Plates

The BioTek 405 TS Touch Screen Microplate Washer is an advanced automated washer designed for precise and reproducible washing of 96- and 384-well microplates, supporting biotechnology and molecular diagnostics workflows such as ELISA, bead-based assays, and gentle cell washing. Featuring an integrated ultrasonic sonicator, it prevents clogging in aspirate and dispense lines, enhancing reliability especially with high-salt buffers and bead chemistries critical in bioprocessing and synthetic biology research.

Key technical features include:

• Programmable dispense volume ranging from 50 to 3,000 µL per well in 1 µL increments
• Residual volume under 2 µL per well to minimize cross-contamination and ensure assay accuracy
• Supports multiple microplate formats including low profile and standard height 96- and 384-well plates
• Multiple manifold options: 96-pin or dual 96/384-pin configurations enabling flexible assay throughput
• Onboard storage for up to 250 washing protocols, accessible via a color touchscreen interface for streamlined operation
• Programmable shaking and soaking up to 60 minutes with variable speeds to optimize wash conditions
• Fast wash cycles: e.g., three 300 µL washes in under 30 seconds for 96-well plates, supporting higher-throughput laboratory environments
• Optional vacuum filtration module for enhanced sample processing with selectable vacuum pressures
• Constructed with chemical sterilization compatibility and designed for integration into automated workflows and biomanufacturing pipelines

The BioTek 405 TS is well suited for laboratories involved in molecular biology, clinical diagnostics, and biotechnology research requiring consistent, high-quality microplate washing. Its touchscreen usability, flexible volume control, and robust cleaning features make it essential equipment for molecular cloning workflows and assays widely adopted in synthetic biology and biomedical engineering applications.
