BioTek ELx405 Automated Microplate Washer for 96- and 384-Well Plates
Product Description
The BioTek ELx405 is a versatile and programmable automated microplate washer designed for efficient washing of 96- and 384-well plates and strips, supporting both standard and low profile microplates. Suitable for cell-based and ELISA assays, it features multiple configurations tailored to varying plate formats and manifold requirements.
Key technical specifications include:
- Programmable wash cycles: 1 to 10 cycles with adjustable soak times (1–600 seconds), user-defined shaking speeds, and configurable flow rates optimized for cell assays.
- High throughput washing: Typical 96-well protocols complete in under 30 seconds (three aspirate/dispense cycles, 300 µL/well), while compatible 384-well models perform washes in less than 80 seconds (100 µL/well).
- Precision and low residual volume: Dispense precision rated at ≤4% CV for 300 µL per well in 96-well format, with residual volume <2 µL per well after a three-cycle wash.
- Manifold options: Includes 96-tube dual-action manifolds and 96-/384-well manifolds (models with U) supporting deep well and standard well plates.
- Chemical sterilization: Enables integration into sterile ELISA and cell-based assay workflows, enhancing assay reliability in molecular diagnostics and bioprocessing applications.
- Protocol management: Onboard LCD interface supports creation, editing, and execution of up to 75 custom wash protocols and preprogrammed maintenance routines.
- Buffer management: Optional auto-switching module accommodates up to 4 different buffers or reagents for complex washing sequences.
- Physical specs: Dimensions 17×29×15 in, weight 40 lbs, and power operation from 100 to 204V at 50/60Hz.
Widely used in biotechnology, molecular diagnostics, and biomedical research laboratories, the BioTek ELx405 offers reliable microplate washing essential for workflows involving cell imaging, immunoassays, and biopharmaceutical production pipelines. Its adaptability to different plate formats and stringent wash control makes it an indispensable tool in molecular cloning and synthetic biology research environments.
