Features
High quality & performance, affordable price

These qualities make BioTek the #1 plate washer brand in the world. As an ISO certified and FDA registered Medical Device manufacturer, BioTek understands the importance of accurate, repeatable results, low maintenance, and reliability in the clinical and research laboratory.
ELISA to cell- and bead-based assays
Applications for the 50 TS extend far beyond simple dispense and aspirate routines typical of many ELISA processes. Optimize fluid delivery for gentle cell-based assay washing, or run bead-based processes with the available biomagnetic and vacuum filtration modules.
Automated maintenance routines for continued reliable operation
Routine maintenance ensures continued reliable washing and excellent assay performance. The 50 TS offers pre-defined, automated maintenance routines including daily and overnight protocols. These keep the fluid path clean and prevent buildup of salt, protein or other material that can block manifold tubes and cause inadequate washing.
