FAQs

1. How does the dual-mode operation in Microplate Washer (strip and full plate) add flexibility?

The Microplate Washer supports both strip-wise and full-plate washing, giving users the option to conserve reagents when processing fewer samples. Strip washing is ideal for small batch assays or when retesting specific wells. Full-plate mode ensures uniform washing across all wells, improving consistency for high-throughput workflows. This flexibility supports diverse experimental designs without compromising efficiency.

2. What makes the shaking feature valuable during the wash cycle of Microplate Washer ?

Microplate Washer features a programmable shaking function that gently agitates the microplate to dislodge loosely bound materials. This is especially beneficial in cell-based or bead-based assays where standard washing may not be sufficient. It promotes even distribution of wash buffer across all wells, enhancing cleaning performance without disturbing delicate samples. The adjustable shaking time allows users to tailor the wash cycle to suit different assay protocols.

3. Can the Microplate Washer handle viscous or foaming reagents?

Microplate Washer pressure and aspiration systems are optimized to handle a range of reagent viscosities. Programmable sipping time and shaking features help in managing difficult liquids by allowing enough time for thorough aspiration. The gentle operation prevents excessive foaming that could disrupt wash efficiency. These controls make it adaptable for specialized buffers or biological fluids.

4. Is the Microplate Washer compatible with automation systems or external devices?

Microplate Washer is primarily a standalone unit, but its compact size and large protocol memory make it suitable for integration into semi-automated workflows. It can be positioned alongside plate readers or robotic arms where manual plate transfer is feasible. For laboratories aiming for full automation, pairing with an auto-loader or liquid handling system may be possible depending on the setup. Its consistent and reliable performance supports streamlined assay pipelines in high-throughput environments.

5. What happens if there’s an error during a wash cycle on the Microplate Washer ?

The Microplate Washer includes built-in alerts and safety protocols to detect and respond to issues such as pressure faults, empty reagent bottles, or full waste containers. In the event of a malfunction, the system halts operation and notifies the user via its interface. The emergency stop button allows users to manually interrupt the cycle if needed. These features ensure user safety, protect the instrument, and prevent sample loss.
