BioTek Microplate Strip Washer Product Detail
Model: ELx50
Bio-Tek's years of experience in the development of both microplate washers and automated systems for EIA applications has culminated in the ELx50™ Auto Strip Washer. As a self contained and programmable instrument, the ELx50 allows for full control of precise fluidic delivery from the gentle dripping of a simple squeeze bottle to the full force of pressure delivery systems.
The ELx50 is a fast and versatile automated strip washer which comes equipped with our patented Dual-ActionTM 16-channel manifold. This breakthrough design allows for independent control of the dispense and aspiration manifolds for overfill washing and overflow protection in both 96- and 384-well formats. The problem of fitting dispense and aspirate tubes into a much smaller 384-well is solved with the ELx50.
Additionally, in a 96-well format, the Dual-Action manifold provides incomparable wash performance with two sets of dispense and aspiration tubes per well. This exclusive method of two-fold aspiration guarantees low residuals. The new ELx50 Auto Strip Washer is the perfect solution for low volume users of both 96- and 384-well microplates.
