BioTek announces receipt of European Patent
EP 2 093 572 B1, covering the ultrasonic cleaning and maintenance feature used
in their microplate washers. Known as Ultrasonic Advantage
TM, this unique
cleaning technology is incorporated into most of BioTek's microplate washers
including the
405TM
Touch,
405 LS,
ELx405TM
Select Deep Well Microplate Washers and the
EL406TM
Microplate Washer Dispenser; and is currently patent pending in the United
States.
Ultrasonic Advantage uses unique,
integrated ultrasonic cleaning to reduce protein and salt crystal build-up.
Ultrasonic sound waves create aggressive agitation and cavitation within the
inside and outside of the washer manifold tubes, thus effectively eliminating
any attached materials. This build-up is a major contributor to assay failure,
and manual cleaning methods are cumbersome. Ultrasonic Advantage may be
initiated from the washer's keypad interface or optional Liquid Handling
Control
TM software for unattended washer manifold maintenance.
BioTek Instruments, Inc., headquartered in
Winooski, VT, USA, is a worldwide leader in the design, manufacture, and sale
of microplate instrumentation and software. In 2011, BioTek received the North American New Product
Innovation Award for Workflow Solutions in Life Sciences from Frost
& Sullivan. BioTek instrumentation is used to aid in the advancement of
life science research, facilitate the drug discovery process, provide rapid and
cost-effective industrial analysis, and to enable sensitive and accurate
