The BioTek ELx405 Select is the first deep well plate washer that aspirates and dispenses into 96- and 384-well deep well and standard height microplates. The ELx405 Select is available in several configurations to address a wide variety of plate washing applications, including ELISA and cell-based assays. Maintenance is easy with the available patented Ultrasonic Advantage that automates and cleans manifold tubes to remove built-up salt and protein.
Washes 96- and 384-well deep well and standard height plates.
- The ELx405 is the premier microplate washer accommodating deep well blocks and standard height microplates, in 96- and 384-well format, without requiring specialized manifolds.
Ideal for cell culture, plasmid DNA purification and much more
- Wash processes used in cell culture and plasmid DNA preparation are automated with the ELx405 – there’s no need for specialized instrumentation. ELx405 Select can also process magnetic and polystyrene bead protocols, making it a versatile plate washer for many laboratories.
Applications:
The ELx405 Select is designed for applications that typically require washing deep well blocks, such as serum and plasma prep workflows. It goes beyond these specialized applications, though. The ELx405 Select easily handles a broad range of applications in standard 96- and 384-well plates, including sensitive cell-based assays.
- Plasmid DNA purification
- Serum/plasma preparation
- ELISA
- Cell culture
- Bead washing
