**Unit Has been tested to specifications. Unit does not include wash head. Has slight cosmetic blemish from regular use. See photos for further details.
The ELx405 Select can be used to wash standard 96-well plates and 384-well plates. Its patented Dual-Action manifold features 96 sets of dispense and aspirate tubes that are arranged in a fixed horizontal position relative to each other but located in two separate manifolds. The two manifolds move independently of each other on the vertical axis. Precise, fast, and easy to use, the ELx405 is a user-programmable, fully automated microplate washer. The ELx405, select model is compatible with Bio-Teks, Bio-Stack Microplate Stacker (Items and accessories not included).
Programmable dispense volumes, flow, and aspiration rates provide for a wide range of washing capabilities, from gentle washing for cellular assays to vigorous washing for ELISA.
The bottom washing routine can be applied to lower the background absorbance. The crosswise aspiration routine can be utilized to reduce residual volumes.
The ELx405 can be used to wash all microplate-based assays, including ELISA, fluorescence, chemiluminescence, RIA, DNA probes, and cellular assays.
The intuitive menu-driven software allows you to create and store up to 75 washer programs. When you are ready to run a program, simply select the program name and follow the screen prompts. The ELx405 will then process the plate according to the program parameters.
All ELx405 models support Wash, Prime, Dispense, and Aspirate programs. In addition, these programs can be linked together to run automatically.
