Description
The Molecular Devices MultiWash+ is an automated, compact, and quiet microplate washer designed to deliver maximum washing flexibility in a minimal benchtop footprint. Supporting both 96- and 384-well plate formats, it offers 20 configurable wash protocols with up to eight cycles each, along with adjustable dispense speed and volume, aspiration speed and time, soak times, and three shaking modes. The system is vacuum- and pressure-free, using on-board pumps for a quiet wash experience, and dispenses in 50 µL increments without requiring pressurized bottles. It is well-suited for ELISA, EIA, FIA, LIA, cytotoxicity assays, and any workflow requiring washing as a primary, intermediary, or final step prior to quantitation.
Features:
- Walk-Up Usability: 20 pre-loaded wash protocols with up to eight cycles per protocol allow researchers to get started immediately without complex setup.
- Configurable Washing: Adjustable dispense speed and volume, aspiration speed and time, and soak times give users precise control over every wash step.
- Three Shaking Modes: On-board shaking with three speed settings supports mixing and incubation steps within the wash protocol.
- Cross-Wise Aspiration: Cross-wise aspiration minimizes residual volume remaining in each well after washing.
- Pressure-Free Fluid Handling: Tubing inserts directly into standard containers — no pressurized bottles required — with dispensing in 50 µL increments up to 2000 µL.
- Automated Rinse: Automated rinsing reduces the risk of manifold clogging.
- Ready Out of the Box: Comes with four wash/rinse bottles and one waste bottle for immediate use.
- Compact & Portable: Small footprint suitable for benchtop use in space-constrained labs.
