iWo Washer
Autobio iWO is a state of the art microplate washer, designed to meet the demanding requirements of today's microplate based immunoassays.
Product highlights
8- and 12-way manifold for 96-well microplates
The high presision manifolds guarantee perfect washing performance in solid and strip plates. 80 plate geometries can be stored to optimize vertical and horizontal manifold positioning during washing. 96-well Flat-, U- and V-bottom plates are supported.
Flexible wash procedure definition
Wash procedures are created as a sequence of previously configured wash cycles defining the desired parameters for:
Aspirating with selectable duration and power. The crosswise aspirate feature guarantees minimal residual volume.
Dispensing at high precision with variable volume and power.
Washing can be performed either in bottom- or overflow wash mode. Shaking at selectable time, amplitude and speed is used to minimize bubbles and adherence of liquid to well surface.
Soaking duration can be set as required and assures repeatible timing of each wash procedure.
Up to 100 wash procedures and wash cycles can be defined and stored on iWO.
Combined with the selection of the programmed plate type and wash liquid to be used with the asay perfect wash results are achieved.
Priming and rinsing
In order to facilitate maintenance and reduce the risk of clogging, priming and rinsing the system can be performed manually, automatic or periodic.
One, two or four wash liquids
Depending on the configuration iWO can connect to either one, two or four wash bottles and one waste bottle. The wash solution to be used is defined in the wash protocol. Optional liquid level detection for wash and waste bottels can be added to assures safer processing.
Magnetic particle washing option
A special plate carrier, available as option adds magentic particle washing ability to iWO. Together with the precisely adjustable washing and plate parameters optimum washing results for this sophisticated technology are acchieved.
