Chapter 1: Introduction
Overview
The need to thoroughly wash unbound antigens, antibodies, binding proteins,
enzymes, or receptors from a solid-phase binding support is one of the most
important steps in the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The
SkanWasher 400 meets this demand and those of other numerous laboratory
assays now being performed in 96-well microplates where thorough washing
is an essential component of the assay.
The SkanWasher 400 is designed to wash 96-well microplates. The process of
setting up wash parameters is flexible and allows you to modify or choose the
following settings:
Aspirate probe height and position in the well for low residual
volume.
Dispense probe height and position in the well for washing the active
part of well.
Inlet wash buffer flow rate for gentle or hard wash.
“Overflow” washing.
Microprocessor-controlled timing.
Aspiration from the top of the well with adjustable lift speed.
Wash all 96 wells simultaneously.
Dispense only function.
Dispense volume adjustment.
