Multiplexing Plate and Bead Washers
To complete our multiplex assay solution, EMD Millipore complements our portfolio of MILLIPLEX® MAP kits, instruments, software, and service with BioTek® microplate washers, handheld magnetic separation block and MultiScreen®HTS vacuum manifold.
BioTek® Elx405LSRML and ELx405TSRSML Microplate Washer For 96-Well Biomagnetic Separation
New! 405 LS and 405 TS Microplate Washers for Magnetic and Nonmagnetic Beads In partnership with BioTek, we now offer the latest advancements in multiplex washing: a fully automated system designed to quickly wash an entire plate through magnetic separation, washing, and vacuum filtration. Both systems offer magnetic and vacuum filtration options , while the 405 TS model now offers a touch screen and built-in ultrasonic manifold tube cleaning.
BioTek® Advantages:
- Fast and hands-free full plate washing
- MILLIPLEX® MAP and Luminex® xMAP® approved
- High-energy neodymium iron boron magnets for rapid separation of multiplex assay beads with superior retention
- 405® TS models have state-of-the-art, high resolution, LED backlit touch screen user interface for intuitive and flexible control of instrument
- 405® TS models include the built in Ultrasonic Advantage™ manifold tube cleaning system, making them a completely self-maintaining microplate washer
BioTek® Washer Features:
- Supports diverse assay types: magnetic beads, MILLIPLEX® MAP multiplex assays and ELISAs
- Compatible with most microplates – 96-well, standard height and low profile
- Optimized, removable magnet – optimized for flat-bottom microplates, incorporated into carrier and removable for non-magnetic washing
- Low residual volume - ≥ 2 µL/well and vacuum filtration, Average increased weight of the plate is = 1.2 grams after dispensing 300 µL of deionized water per well into a EMD Millipore MSHVN4450 96-well 0.45 µm plate and vacuum aspirated for 30 seconds at a vent diameter 0.047” (no plug) and blotted on a paper towel
- Fast washing speed - <30 seconds, 3 aspirate/dispense cycles, 300 µL/well and final aspirate
BioTek® ELx50™ Magnetic 96-well Strip Washer
Hands-free washing with a small footprint
(Cat. No. 40-062)
Better together: ELx50™ Washer with MILLIPLEX® MAP Magnetic Bead Assays
- Reduced hands-on time for multiplex assays
- Optimized magnet for flat-bottom magnetic bead assay plates can improve data precision
- Self-contained, programmable washer enables precise fluidic delivery, ensuring complete control while washing multiplex assay plates
Handheld Magnetic Bead Washer
Separator Block for 96-Well Flat Bottom or Conical Well Plates
The Handheld Magnetic Separator Block offers a low cost alternative to automated washing of MILLIPLEX® MAP magnetic bead-based assays without loss in assay performance. The handheld magnetic separator enables you to remove the liquid contents of the 96-well plate by simply decanting or “flicking” the contents into a sink and blotting off the remainder on a paper towel. Magnetic beads are securely held to the sides by 9 magnets surrounding each well.
Handheld Magnetic Bead Washer Features
- Top magnetic frame is white polycarbonate, with a corrosion resistant steel plate underneath, all mounted to a polypropylene base
- Adjustable clip system holds a wide variety of microplates to the separator block
- Ring on base plate facilitates gripping for all sizes of hands
MultiScreen®HTS Vacuum Manifold
The MultiScreen®HTS vacuum manifold is ideal for multiwell filter plate applications in both manual and automated laboratory environments. The manifold supports 96-well and 384-well filter plates for bioassays and deep well Solvinert™ filter plates for sample preparation. It can be easily configured to support applications that require flow to waste as well as analyte collection.
The system includes a vacuum pressure indicator enabling you to set and reliably measure vacuum pressure. Controls include an external on/off valve and a vacuum level adjustment valve for optimizing filtration performance. You also have the choice of vacuum source options, such as an EMD Millipore vacuum pump, available separately, or house vacuum.
MultiScreen®HTS Vacuum Manifold Features
- Configurations for deep well or standard receiver plates
- ANSI/SBS compliant footprint allows for easy robotic deck integration
- Solvent-resistant
