Labsystems WellWash 384 Automated 384-Well Microplate Washer with 192-Channel Wash Heads

The Labsystems WellWash 384 is an automated microplate washer specifically designed for 384-well microplates, employing dual 192-channel wash heads for efficient liquid handling. The system performs washing in two sequential motions that cover all 384 wells, using coordinated aspiration and dispensing needles.

• *Plate carrier* mechanizes the microplate movement under the wash heads, ensuring precise well alignment.
• 192 aspiration needles simultaneously empty half of the wells while 192 dispensing needles refill them with wash buffer, optimizing throughput.
• After washing one half, the plate carrier shifts the remaining 192 unwashed wells under the wash heads to repeat the process, completing a full wash cycle.
• Multiple wash cycles are programmable to meet assay requirements typical in molecular diagnostics, biotechnology workflows, and high-throughput screening.
• Final aspiration fully empties all wells before plate removal, allowing integration with automated plate handling or manual retrieval.

This microplate washer is critical in applications including bioprocessing, gene editing assays, and synthetic biology research, where reproducible and contamination-free plate washing is essential. Its 384-well compatibility and high-throughput operation make it suitable for laboratories engaged in molecular cloning workflows, biomanufacturing quality control, and clinical diagnostics. The precise liquid handling supports demanding protocols such as ELISAs, cell-based assays, and fluorescence analysis.

By incorporating the WellWash 384, researchers achieve consistent plate washing critical to biopharmaceutical production pipelines and live-cell imaging preparations, positioning this washer as a valuable tool in translational research and biotechnology development contexts.
