Plate Washer

Tecan has developed the HydroSpeed plate washer, an advanced system for optimized washing of cells, beads and ELISAs in 96- and 384-well formats. It offers full control over critical wash parameters via an intuitive touchscreen interface, with drop-wise dispensing and tunable aspiration settings to help avoid loss of material and maximize assay efficiency.

The system’s Anti­Clogging function is automatically rinsing and soaking the wash head when the system is idle between runs, and the instrument’s Easy X-change system allows rapid removal and replacement of wash heads for intense ultrasonic cleaning. The washer uses two magnets per well for magnetic bead washing, offering fast bead settling and high recovery rates, and can also be equipped with a vacuum filtration module for processing of non-magnetic beads.
