For almost 30 years, BioTek set the
standard in microplate washing, and we continue to advance this important
technique with the new
405TM
Touch Microplate Washer. A high-resolution, LED backlit touch screen
interface provides intuitive and flexible protocol creation and implementation
and instrument maintenance, and supports all gloved environments. Additionally,
two integrated flash drives enable convenient file storage, transfer and
operation. Instructional videos provide clear direction on instrument setup and
basic use, and the context-sensitive help system, complete with
recommendations, diagrams and images is available at the touch of a finger.
The 405 Touch maintains the same features
as BioTek's industry-leading ELx405
TM washers, including 96- and 384-well
compatibility, Dual-Action
TM manifold, patent-pending Ultrasonic Advantage
TM and
vacuum filtration and biomagnetic separation for bead-based assays. All models
include automated internal buffer switching, quick release manifolds and
optimized cell washing with gentle, low-flow rates ideal for loosely adherent
cell monolayers. The 405 Touch is powered by
Liquid
Handling ControlTM (LHC
TM) software, and can be coupled with BioTek's
BioStackTM
Microplate Stacker for unattended batch processing.
