Microplate Washers

Microplate washers are used in many applications such as ELISA, cell-based assays and microsphere-based assays. A dependable washer is quiet, easy to clean and leaves no residue, preventing contamination and reducing background. Formats available are strip washers, full plate washers and combination washer-dispensers. Look for a washer which can handle a variety of plate types, including deep well plates and 96-, 384- and 1536-well plates. Safety considerations should include aerosol protection and an emergency stop. Some labs may require washing for biomagnetic separation and vacuum filtration assays; interchangeable wash manifolds are available to suit a variety of washing applications. High throughput labs should consider the ability to integrate a washer into the current lab workflow, and the ability to upgrade when needed. From hand held washers to fully automated systems, there is a suitable microplate washer for every lab’s needs.
