Bio-Tek 405TS Select Touch Microplate Washer
**Unit has been tested to specifications. Has slight cosmetic blemishes from normal use. See photos for further details.
The BioTek 405 TS washer has an excellent reputation in life science research for outstanding results in many applications. The 405 TS has a unique set of features designed to efficiently wash cell-based assays, microsphere-based assays, and ELISA applications. Programming and operation via the touchscreen interface is intuitive and simple. The patented Verify technology automatically checks for manifold tube blockages before a wash cycle, and Ultrasonic Advantage automatically cleans any blocked manifold tubes. These functions save time and eliminate frustration while ensuring successful results.
Features
Self-maintaining design with an ultrasonic bath prevents clogging and failure in the plate washer. The built-in, patented Ultrasonic Advantage allows the instrument to clean build up in the manifold tube automatically, without manual intervention.
Hands-off, self-testing Verify technology eliminates tedious manual procedures using an ultrasonic probe to check dispense and aspirate performance. Test results are automatically displayed and indicate when tubes may require additional cleaning.
Automated magnetic and filtration bead-based assays provide flexible operation in many applications. Variable wash steps and magnet accessories for biomagnetic separation workflows ensure high bead recovery. Vacuum filtration module is also available.
Cell-friendly design for high-quality results with angled dispense tubes, highly adjustable dispense, and aspiration rate settings for cell-based assays. The gentle flow rates and side-wall dispensing position ensure the integrity of cell monolayers.
Self-maintaining design with patented ultrasonic bath
Manifold tube clogs are the most common source of failure on plate washers. The built-in, patented Ultrasonic Advantage allows the instrument to clean build up in the manifold tube automatically, without removing it from the instrument.
Hands-off self-testing Verify technology option
The Verify technology option eliminates tedious manual procedures by using an ultrasonic probe to check dispense and aspirate performance. Test results are automatically displayed and indicate tubes that may require additional cleaning.
Automate magnetic and filtration bead-based assays
Multiplexed bead-based assays are very common, and 405 TS easily accommodates necessary wash steps. Magnet accessories for biomagnetic separation workflows, available in both flat and 4-zone ring designs, ensure high bead recovery. A vacuum filtration module is available for polystyrene bead assays.
Cell-friendly design for high quality results
A combination of angled dispense tubes and highly adjustable dispense and aspiration rate settings make 405 TS the ideal washer for cell-based assays. The gentle flow rates and side-wall dispensing position ensure the integrity of cell monolayers
