PerkinElmer Partners with BioTek
to offer you Microplate Washing with
PerkinElmer Automated Solutions
PerkinElmer and BioTek have partnered to offer you a
variety of ELx405™ Microplate Washer models, each
with its own innovative design features.* Easily integrate
your JANUS® Automated Workstation with the ELx405™
Washer to fully automate your ELISA, in-plate binding
or cell-based assays. The ELx405™ may also be integrated as part of larger JANUS integrated systems..
Over the past 20 years, BioTek has become the leader
in microplate washing with proven expertise and quality
in design and manufacture. The market leading BioTek
ELx405™ microplate washers are precise, fast and
easy to use.
You choose the model that best suits your application
and automation needs:
The ELx405™ Select features
• 96- and 384-well microplate washing without the
need for hardware changes
• Patented Dual-Action™ manifold provides independent control of both dispense and aspirate manifolds
for precision overfill washing and overflow protection
• Full aspiration and dispense control for flow rate,
volumes and wash cycles providing effective, reproducible washing
• Internal positive displacement pump allows the
use of any size dispense reservoir
w w w. p e r k i n e l m e r. c o m
• Special design enhancements on some models
provide:
– Gentle washing of non- or loosely-adherent cell lines
– External Valve module with automatic switching
between up to four reagent bottles
– Ultrasonic Advantage™ incorporates the power
of ultrasonic cleaning for effortless washer manifold maintenance
For those applications that use only 96-well microplates,
the standard ELx405™ is the ideal choice for performance and value. The ELx405™ is the most precise and
reliable washer available. Many unique features lower
background values increasing the signal-to-noise ratio
for typical ELISA and cellular assays.
