Efficient cell washing with minimal cell loss and optimal assay performance
The Aqua Max® Microplate Washer is a fully self-contained system, configurable for both 96- and 384-well microplates. Use preconfigured wash, soak, and aspiration protocols or create your own multi-step protocol using the simple touchscreen interface. For biochemical assays, the washer removes unbound material and unreacted reagents. For cell-based assays, the washer has the option for 96- or 384-well cell wash heads with angled pins to allow extremely gentle washing of weakly adherent cell types.
Install easily.
The washer does not require external pumps or a computer to operate, minimizing bench space. Interchangeable wash heads can be installed in seconds without tools, calibration, or alignment.
Eliminate plate indexing.
Aspiration and dispensing of 96- and 384-wells occur simultaneously in all wells leading to high-precision assays and faster microplate processing without mechanical plate indexing or quadrant processing.
Run multiple wash protocols.
Two- or four-fluid inlets with matching color-coded tubing facilitate quick assembly of the buffer and solution bottles and allow multiple wash protocols to be run without switching bottles.
Features:
Trouble-free operation
- Comprehensive cleaning protocols can be activated at the touch of a button for trouble-free operation. A standby feature keeps the washer primed and probe tips submersed in buffer for instant startup.
Flexibility
- By using automatically detected, interchangeable 96 and 384 wash heads, the Aquamar washer configures easily to meet current and future, higher-density microplate application requirements.
Versatility
- Precise dispense and aspiration control allow processing without cell disruption. Fast sequential, continuous, and bottom washing options reduce wash times to a minimum.
Automation
- The washer is easy to integrate with the latest automation tools. It is compatible with the Molecular Devices Stak Max® Microplate Stacker and many robotic plate handlers.
