Description
The ELx405 Series Automated Microplate Washers have become the market leaders for applications ranging from basic ELISAs to complex cell-based assays.
BioTek’s expertise in microplate washing is evident now in two new additions to the product family, the ELx405 HT and the ELx405 Select CW.
The ELx405 HT provides a solution for the critical speed requirements of 384-well plate washing in the High Throughput Screening environment without sacrificing performance or ease of use.
Most models of the ELx405 now incorporate the patent pending Ultrasonic Advantage™, a built-in ultrasonic cleaner to aid in routine washer maintenance and reduce assay failure.
The ELx405 Select CW is specially designed to accommodate all wash requirements, including non- or loosely adherent cell-based assays. All of the ELx405 models include versatile but user-friendly onboard software for defining wash programs as well as optimizing the plate position during dispense and aspiration.
An ActiveX programming package is available for easy integration into automated systems.
Now available with vacuum filtration and biomagnetic separation modules.

"This plate washer is really suitable for cell washing. Also, the liquid is dispensed at a low speed and so can be used for cells which detach easily. Therefore, I would recommend this instrument."   |

"We use this plate washer to aspirate & dispense liquids into plates with primary cells, and the gentle speed option on this model prevents cells from dispersing from the plate's surface." |

"very good control for washing cells. can adjust speed and position very easily. sonicator keeps maintenance quick and easy. very good technical support on phone but expensive to get someone in if it is not working." |

"It works fine, but it wastes a lot of volume (water) for priming/rinsing steps and produces too much waste. When it clogs there are lots of channels to 'unclog'." |
