Thorough Washing with the BioTek^® 405™TSUVS Plate Washer For SMC^® and MILLIPLEX^® Assays

How Is the BioTek^® 405™TSUVS Plate Washer Specific for SMC^® Assays?

When counting at the single molecule level, it is critical to ensure reliable assay performance. For SMC^® assays, one vital consideration is to ensure thorough bead washing during key stages of the workflow.

The BioTek^® 405™TSUVS Magnetic 96-Well Washer has benefits specifically for SMC^® technology such as:

• Customized plate washing protocols designed to optimize performance and prevent bead loss for SMC^® workflows
• A custom magnetic plate uniquely manufactured for SMC^® assays
• A vacuum regulator designed for use on SMC^® assays
• Bottle kit

How Is the BioTek^® 405™TSUVS Plate Washer Specific for MILLIPLEX^® Assays?

The plate washer is easily adaptable for use in the MILLIPLEX^® multiplex bead-based assay workflow based on Luminex^® xMAP^® technology by exchanging the custom SMC^® magnetic plate on the washer with a Dexter 96F magnet (Part Number: 7103016, available from Agilent) or Dexter 384F magnet (Part Number: 7103017, available from Agilent).

Customized MILLIPLEX^® wash protocols are pre-programmed on the washer for use with Luminex^® assays and no physical adjustments to the washer are required.

Plate Washer Features

In addition to the unique features of the washer design, this plate washer has the same features available on the standard BioTek^® 405™TSUVS Washer, a globally recognized standard for microplate washers. This includes unique features designed to wash microsphere-based assays efficiently and effectively with outstanding results for every application.

Adjustable Settings

Angled dispense tubes and adjustable dispense and aspiration rate settings to optimize washing.

Ultrasonic Cleaner

A patented ultrasonic bath enables the instrument to automatically clean buildup in the manifold preventing manifold tube clogs.

Flexibility

Allows for washing of both 96-and 384-well plates. Also includes automated internal buffer switching from up to 4 different buffer bottles.
