405 LS Microplate Washer0 pages

The new 405™ LS Microplate Washer is based on the industry
standard in microplate washing with superior performance and
reliability. This fifth generation product offers several models
and options for processing 96- and 384-well microplates to meet
all throughput requirements. New functionality, such as builtin automated buffer switching and “quick-change” manifold
designs, offer ease of use. The unique patent-pending Ultrasonic
Advantage™ option eliminates the number one cause of assay
failure - clogged manifold tubes. Valuable time is saved with this
automated maintenance capability. All 405 LS models provide
excellent performance for ELISA and cell-based assays and can
be configured with biomagnetic separation and vacuum filtration
modules for full plate washing of magnetic and polystyrene beadbased assays such as Luminex® xMAP®.
Programming the 405 LS is easy through its simple interface. A
2x24 character backlit LCD display enables full control of all wash
parameters. For those who prefer the advantages of running
instruments via computer control, the 405 LS can be controlled
with BioTek’s optional Liquid Handling Control™ Software. The
optional BioStack™ is available for walk-away automation of up to
50 microplates.
