Used Lab Equipment

CRS CataLyst Express is ideal for labs desiring a highly capable, low-risk introduction to automation — or for automated labs requiring smaller yet highthroughput islands of automation.

High Throughput, Extreme Flexibility in One Compact Automation Platform. The CataLyst Express packages the benefits of Thermo’s robotics and integration expertise in a compact, highly reliable microplate loading system. Its error-free technology offers laboratories the confidence to maximize walk-away time and assay throughput. The system easily automates virtually any application, including the loading and unloading of complex instruments. With speeds up to three times faster than competing plate movers, the CataLyst Express gives you:

• Greater walk-away time with extensive storage options
• Lower maintenance costs with minimal service
• Higher asset utilization
• Faster time to results

The CataLyst Express is the ideal platform to alleviate big-system bottlenecks and increase productivity.

The ELx405 Select is the world’s first deep well microplate washer that aspirates and dispenses into 96- and 384-well plates without requiring specialized manifolds. ANSI/SBS standard height microplates can also be washed, making the ELx405 Select a total solution for all your laboratory’s microplate washing workflows. Wash processes used in cell culture and plasmid DNA preparation are automated with the ELx405 Select – 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. The ELx405™ Select is automation compatible and its patented Dual-Action™ manifold is particularly useful in cell-based assays. This product is ideal for all standard and deep well microplate washing requirements.
