Agilent BioTek 405 Select TS Ultrasonic Automated Microplate Washer 405TSUVS

The Agilent BioTek 405 Select TS Microplate Washer 405TSUVS is an advanced benchtop instrument designed for high-throughput microplate washing, featuring an integrated ultrasonic cleaner to enhance washing efficiency in molecular diagnostics and biotechnology workflows. This model supports both 96- and 384-well microplates, accommodating assay volumes from 50 to 3000 µL per well. Its dual-action 96-tube manifold ensures gentle yet thorough washing, critical for sensitive applications like ELISA, cell-based assays, and protein or nucleic acid research.

Key technical features include:

• Built-in Ultrasonic Cleaning Module to remove residual particulates and biofilm from microplates, optimizing assay accuracy for bioprocessing and synthetic biology research.
• Programmable shaking and soaking functions for enhanced reagent interaction and removal during wash cycles.
• Four liquid dispensing channels with buffer switching capability, supporting complex wash protocols essential in molecular cloning workflows.
• Fast wash cycles with less than 30 seconds for 96-well plates and under 80 seconds for 384-well plates per 3 washes, suitable for high-throughput screening environments.
• Compact footprint (17 x 14 x 10 inches) and lightweight design (30 lbs) facilitate integration in limited lab spaces focused on biomedical engineering and clinical diagnostics.
• Optional BioStack 3 or 4 Plate Stacker for automated microplate handling with de-lidding and re-lidding functions, streamlining workflows in gene editing and molecular diagnostics labs.
• User-friendly touchscreen interface supports easy operation and custom wash protocol programming, improving reproducibility across diverse biotechnology assay pipelines.

Additional customization options include magnetic inserts for biomagnetic separation, multiple wash heads (96- or 192-tube), and extra buffer/waste bottle configurations, enhancing versatility for biomanufacturing and research laboratories.

The 405 Select TS is widely adopted in research areas such as immunoassays, DNA/RNA purification assays, and drug discovery, where precision washing ensures assay reliability and sample integrity. Its robust vacuum pump and valve module maintain consistent wash performance, critical in fluorescence analysis and live-cell imaging applications.

This instrument comes with tested full functionality, including remote setup and training support, ensuring seamless adoption in molecular biology and biotechnology environments. Its automated maintenance routines reduce downtime, making it a reliable choice for demanding laboratory workflows.

The Agilent BioTek 405 Select TS is essential for labs requiring efficient, reproducible microplate washing with ultrasonic cleaning to support advanced biotechnological and clinical research needs.
