Molecular Devices AquaMax 2000/4000 Automated Microplate Washer for 96- and 384-Well Plates
Product Description
The Molecular Devices AquaMax 2000 and AquaMax 4000 are automated microplate washers designed for precise and repeatable washing of SBS-standard 96- and 384-well microplates, compatible with flat, U-, and V-bottom formats. Both models feature onboard touchscreen control and integrated fluidics, enabling standalone operation without external PC or vacuum requirements, critical for streamlined workflows in molecular diagnostics, immunoassays, and bioprocessing laboratories.
Key technical features include:
- Support for interchangeable 96- and 384-well wash heads, optimizing versatility for diverse assay formats.
- The AquaMax 2000 offers two fluid inlets and two aspiration rates (Fast and Gentle), suitable for standard ELISA and biochemical applications.
- The AquaMax 4000 enhances fluid handling with four fluid inlets and five aspiration rates, providing detailed control essential for sensitive cell-based assays and synthetic biology workflows.
- Washing precision achieves ≤4% CV for 96-well at 300 µL and ≤3% CV for 384-well at 100 µL, ensuring high reproducibility in molecular cloning and biomanufacturing processes.
- Integrated shaking with three speed settings up to 600 seconds improves washing efficiency and assay consistency.
- Fast wash cycles reduce throughput time significantly, supporting high-throughput screening pipelines in biomedical and biotechnology research.
- Compatible with the StakMax Microplate Stacker and third-party robotic systems via USB interface, enabling automation in large-scale clinical diagnostics and bioprocessing environments.
Both AquaMax models support critical washing applications such as ELISA, immunoassays, biochemical assays, and cell-based plate washing by providing controlled dispense and aspiration functions. This makes them widely adopted in biotechnology research, live-cell imaging preparation, and molecular diagnostics workflows, where contamination-free, reproducible washing protocols are essential.
The compact dimensions (21 x 19 x 9 inches) and 43 lbs weight allow easy integration into benchtop laboratory setups specializing in fluorescence analysis, neuroimaging sample prep, and synthetic biology. Operating voltage is 100-240V with 50/60 Hz compatibility, suitable for global laboratory environments.
This platform is essential for laboratories requiring reliable, flexible microplate washing solutions tailored to complex assay requirements found in biopharmaceutical production pipelines and gene editing research.
