Agilent BioTek 405TS Automated Microplate Washer for 96- and 384-Well Plates

The Agilent BioTek 405TS Microplate Washer is a state-of-the-art automated instrument optimized for precise and reliable washing of 96- and 384-well microplates, pivotal in ELISA, cell-based assays, and microsphere assays. Equipped with patented Verify Technology, it automatically detects manifold blockages to ensure consistent wash cycles, reducing assay failures critical in molecular diagnostics and biotechnology workflows such as gene editing and synthetic biology research.

Key features include an Ultrasonic Advantage that automatically clears blocked manifold tubes, maintaining optimal fluid flow and preventing clogging during high-throughput bioprocessing applications. The high-resolution touchscreen interface enables intuitive control of complex wash protocols, supporting up to 4 reagents for sophisticated assay demands required in biomedical engineering and biopharmaceutical production pipelines.

The washer utilizes a dual-action manifold for independent aspirate and dispense positioning, achieving gentle wash conditions ideal for delicate monolayer cell cultures in live-cell imaging and fluorescence analysis. It supports configurable wash volumes ranging from 25 to 3000 µL per well and accommodates a variety of microplate types, including low profile and filter bottom plates, enhancing its versatility in research environments.
