Microplate Washer are used for enzyme-linked immunosorbent tests, in particular (ELISA). They are also used in DNA purification processes and to wash beads, protein arrays, cell cultures, Western blots, and protein arrays.
Frequently Asked Question
The microplate washer includes built-in diagnostic tools, enabling you to run self-tests for various functions. This feature allows you to quickly check the performance of key components like the pump, liquid delivery system, and manifold, ensuring optimal functionality before beginning experiments.
The microplate washer is compatible with standard 96-well plates and other plate configurations commonly used in laboratory applications, including 384-well plates, though users should verify specific compatibility based on their model of the washer.
The microplate washer offers exceptional convenience with the ability to store more than 100 user-defined wash board procedures. This feature allows you to save custom protocols for repeat use, ensuring consistency and efficiency in future washing tasks. Simply recall the saved procedures for quick setup, saving time and reducing the risk of operator error.
After each washing cycle, the washer ensures an efficient washing process, leaving a residual volume of ≤ 1 μL per well. This low residual volume minimizes the need for additional drying steps and reduces the chances of cross-contamination between wells.
The soak time is fully adjustable, ranging from 0 to 24 hours, with the ability to set the soak time in 1-second increments. This allows for precise control over the washing process, ideal for assays requiring extended incubation or for experiments that need specific soaking durations for optimal results.
Yes, microplate washers are commonly used in ELISA workflows to wash plates between incubation steps, which is essential for removing unbound substances and reducing background noise.
Strip washing washes one strip (typically 8 wells) at a time, useful for processing partial plates. Full plate washing washes all wells simultaneously, ideal for high-throughput applications.
Use filtered or deionized water, avoid using solutions that precipitate or crystallize, and run cleaning cycles regularly. Also, inspect the instrument for any visible residue or buildup.
Yes, many washers allow multiple buffer inputs. Always make sure the buffers are compatible with the washer’s components and are thoroughly flushed between uses to avoid cross-contamination.
Yes, periodic calibration ensures accurate dispense and aspiration volumes. Some models offer auto-calibration features, but manual checks are recommended periodically.
