ELx50 Microplate Strip Washers

The ELx50™ is an extremely compact, fast and versatile automated microplate strip washer, which allows full control of fluid delivery from a gentle drip to the full force of a pressure delivery system.

The patented 16-channel Dual-Action™ manifold allows independent control of dispense and aspirate manifolds for overfill washing in both 96- and 384-well formats. In 96-well format, it provides unrivalled performance by using two sets of dispense and aspirate tubes per well to guarantee superior washing and low volumes.

8-channel and 12-channel 96-well only options are also available at lower cost.

The ELx50 is the perfect solution for low volume users of both 96- and 384-well microplates.

Features of the ELx50 include:

Syringe drive fluid delivery for precise fluid rate control
Dual-Action manifold washes 96- and 384-well plates precisely and accurately
Unique priming trough for effortless priming
Wash single strips or complete plates
Automatic buffer switching option
Programmable shaking duration and intensity
Bottom washing and crosswise aspiration protocols for minimal residuals
Easy to use and maintain with built-in programs

BioTek have now expanded the popular ELx50 range with the ELx50 FMW, which allows washing of both conventional solid bottom plates and also filter bottom plates. The ELx50 FMW's unique filter plate aspiration carrier accomodates a range of filter pore sizes and fluid viscocities using user selectable vacuum settings and aspiration times.
