Microplate Washer

405 LS Washer 405 LS The 405™ LS Microplate Washer is the fifth generation BioTek washer, known for superior performance and reliability for washing protocols ranging from gentle cell washing to vigorous ELISAs. The 405 LS has a simple user interface for creation and execution of wash, dispense, aspirate and maintenance protocols within the extensive onboard software. For use under computer control, BioTek’s LHC™ Software is available in standard and 21 CFR Part 11 compliant versions. The optional BioStack™ is available for walk-away automation of up to 50 microplates.
