Liquid Handling: Microplate Washers, Dispensers, and Pipetting Systems > Microplate Washers
The 50™ TS Washer offers functionality that is unsurpassed in its class. The color touchscreen provides a visual interface that makes creating protocols fast and intuitive. Its performance for conventional plate washing is excellent, and it is also ideal for cell-based assay washing and for processing biomagnetic or polystyrene bead and vacuum filtration protocols. Used in conjunction with the 800™ TS Absorbance Reader or other detection system, the 50 TS brings convenience and consistently high quality results to your laboratory’s plate washing workflows.
