From the leaders in microplate washing, BioTek introduces the world’s first deep well microplate washer that aspirates and dispenses into 96- and 384-well plates <50 mm in height. ANSI/SBS standard microplates are also accommodated, resulting in a total solution for all of a laboratory’s solid bottom microplate washing needs. The new ELx405™ Select Deep Well Microplate Washer is a robot compatible, full plate washer incorporating BioTek’s patented Dual-Action™ manifold with independent filling and evacuation control for precise overfill washing and overflow protection. Available low-flow rates and angled dispensing make the ELx405 particularly useful in cell-based assays.

Scientists regard unexpected clogging of manifold tubes to be the largest contributor to assay failure. Cleaning these tubes is a time consuming and labor intensive process.  With optional patented Ultrasonic Advantage™, BioTek washers are the only products available today with built in ultrasonic cleaners able to automatically prime with cleaning solution, sonicate tubes to remove any protein or salt crystal build up and re-prime with rinse or wash buffer leaving the instrument clean and ready for its next wash.

BioTek's Liquid Handling Control Software provides full PC control of the ELx405 Select Deep Well in a familiar Microsoft Windows® environment, while its intuitive StepWise™ protocol creation makes LHC Software easy to use even for novice users.  LHC Secure offers 21 CFR Part 11 compliance with flexible multi-user permission levels and electronic protocol and system audit trail signing additional security is required.
