Overview
Over the last 20 years, Bio-Tek has become the leader in microplate washing. This proven expertise in the design and manufacture of the highest quality microplate washers has evolved into the ELx405™ Microplate Washer. Precise, fast and easy to use -- the ELx405 includes four models, each with its own innovative features.
The ELx405's new patent pending Ultrasonic Advantage™ offers effortless washer manifold maintenance. 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. Bio-Tek's Ultrasonic Advantage™ incorporates the power of ultrasonic cleaning to make the ELx405 the only self-maintaining microplate washer available today.
The ELx405 HT is designed specifically to rapidly wash 384-well microplates and includes Bio-Tek's patented Dual-Action™ manifold to ensure optimal performance and easy maintenance.
The ELx405 Select is the market leader in 96-/384-well washing. The Select also has our patented Dual-Action™ manifold, providing independent control of both dispense and aspirate manifolds for precise overfill washing and overflow protection in both 96- and 384-well microplates. This unique design washes both 96- and 384-well plates without the need for any hardware changes. With its slanted dispense tubes, full control of dispense and aspiration rates and unique x, y, z positioning, the ELx405 Select is ideal for the most demanding wash requirements. The ELx405 Select CW is specially designed to accommodate non- or loosely-adherent cell lines.
For those applications that use only 96-well microplates, the standard ELx405 Microplate Washer is an ideal choice for performance and value! The ELx405 is the most precise and reliable washer available. Many unique features lower background absorbance values and increase the signal-to-noise ratio of typical ELISA assays.
The ELx405 Magna is specifically designed for those applications using magnetic bead technology. A second carrier positions the magnet plate close to the microplate bottom, securing magnetic beads during the critical aspiration cycles. All ELx405 Series washers come standard with Bio-Tek's unique AutoPrime™ and AutoRinse™ functions for reliable performance, and can be interfaced into standard robotic systems with Bio-Tek's easy-to-use ActiveX™ component.
The ELx405 with Ultrasonic Advantage™ provides optimal cleaning.
