The 405™ LS Microplate Washer is the fifth generation BioTek washer, known for superior performance and reliability for washing protocols ranging from gentle cell washing to vigorous ELISAs. The 405 LS has a simple user interface for creation and execution of wash, dispense, aspirate and maintenance protocols within the extensive onboard software. For use under computer control, BioTek’s LHC™ Software is available in standard and 21 CFR Part 11 compliant versions. The optional BioStack™ is available for walk-away automation of up to 50 microplates.

applications

Beyond standard dispense/aspirate protocols, the 405 LS automates liquid handling functions for many applications, and is ideal for integration into automated systems, controlled with LHC software.

Features

Intuitive onboard User Interface or LHC™ pc software

The 405 LS has a simple user interface for creation and execution of wash, dispense, aspirate and maintenance protocols within the extensive onboard software. For use under computer control, BioTek’s LHC™ Software is available in standard and 21 CFR Part 11 compliant versions.

Magnetic and polystyrene bead assays, conventional ELISAs

The 405 LS is ideal for many standard plate washing and dispensing protocols, but it also automates more complex operations like magnetic and polystyrene bead washing workflows – and it’s Luminex® xMap® approved. Bead washing is available for 96- and 384-well microplates.

Dual-Action™ manifold

With its angled dispense tubes and adjustable flow rates, the 405 LS can process sensitive cell-based assays. The optional Dual-Action manifold and carrier offer X-Y-Z adjustment, perfect for optimizing plate positioning and residual removal for cell-based and other assays.

Live SARS-CoV-2 Research: Interlocking Pieces Working Together

9-June-20

When Dr. Robert Davey started researching Ebola virus drug development at the University of Texas Medical Branch (UTMB) at Galveston back in 2008, he had no idea just how keenly his work would prepare him to play a pivotal role in researching treatments for a very different global pandemic. In fact, a number of pieces fit together to support his current role in screening small molecule compounds that may be used in the fight against SARS-CoV-2, the novel coronavirus that causes COVID-19.
