Manifold Type
stainless steel tubes to process 12-well plates. Tubes are angled 7
degrees to minimize turbulence in the wells.
24-Well
1 x 8-channel autoclavable manifold (2 tubes/well) with replaceable
stainless steel tubes to process 24-well plates. Tubes are angled 7
degrees to minimize turbulence in the wells.
48-Well
1 x 12-channel autoclavable manifold (2 tubes/well) with replaceable
stainless steel tubes to process 48-well plates. Tubes are angled 7
degrees to minimize turbulence in the wells.
Supply bottle volume
Two 1L bottles: glass for autoclavable models or plastic for
non-autoclavable.
Strip Washer
The external strip washer module uses a non-autoclavable positive-displacement
syringe pump to dispense fluid and a vacuum pump to aspirate fluid. Its dual-
action design uses separate, plate-type-specific manifolds for aspirating and
dispensing.
Manifold Type
96/384-Well
1 x 8-channel dispense and aspirate manifolds to process 96- and
384-well plates.
48-Well
1 x 12-channel dispense manifold (2 tubes/well) and 1 x 6-channel
aspirate manifold to process 48-well plates.
24-Well
1 x 8-channel dispense manifold (2 tubes/well) and 1 x 4-channel
aspirate manifold to process 24-well plates.
12-Well
1 x 9-channel dispense manifold (3 tubes/well) and 1 x 3-channel
aspirate manifold to process 12-well plates.
6-Well
1 x 8-channel dispense manifold (4 tubes/well) and 1 x 2-channel
aspirate manifold to process 6-well plates.
Waste bottle volume
One 2L vessel; optional accessory includes a waste sensor.
Supply bottle volume
Two 2L plastic bottles (non-autoclavable).
