In laboratories and clinical settings, precision and efficiency are paramount, especially when it comes to washing microplates. A state-of-the-art microplate washer can significantly streamline your workflow, ensuring that your experiments yield accurate and reliable results. At DIATEK, we provide advanced microplate washers designed to meet the diverse needs of researchers and technicians. In this article, we will explore the key features and benefits of our microplate washers, helping you understand how they can enhance your laboratory processes.

 Why Use a Microplate Washer?

Microplate washers are essential for removing unbound reagents and washing wells in various applications such as ELISA assays, cell culture, and biochemical assays. Here are some reasons why investing in a high-quality microplate washer is beneficial:

1. Time Efficiency: Automated washing processes save valuable time compared to manual washing methods, allowing researchers to focus on more critical tasks.

2. Consistent Results: Automated systems provide uniform washing across all wells, reducing variability and improving the reliability of results.

3. Reduced Risk of Contamination: Automated washing minimizes the handling of plates, decreasing the risk of contamination that can occur during manual washing.

4. Versatility: Modern microplate washers can accommodate various plate types and sizes, making them suitable for a wide range of applications.

 Key Features of DIATEK Microplate Washers

 1. User-Friendly Interface

Our microplate washers come equipped with a large LCD display and an intuitive menu design that simplifies operation. With an 8-key membrane keyboard, users can easily navigate through settings and protocols.

 2. Multi-Channel Capability

DIATEK’s microplate washers support both 8-pin and 12-pin manifolds, allowing for efficient washing of multiple plates or strips simultaneously. This feature enhances throughput in busy laboratories.

 3. Customizable Wash Protocols

With the ability to store up to 48 user-programmed wash protocols, our systems allow users to customize wash cycles according to their specific requirements. This flexibility is crucial for adapting to different assays.

 4. Advanced Washing Techniques

The microplate washers offer various washing methods, including:

- Whole plate wash

- Single strip wash

- One-point, two-point, and complete bottom wash options

These techniques ensure thorough cleaning tailored to the needs of different experiments.

 5. Low Residual Volume

Our systems achieve a low residual volume of ≤1μL per well, ensuring that no residual reagents interfere with subsequent steps in your assays.

 6. Adjustable Soak and Shake Times

The soak time can be adjusted from 0 to 3600 seconds, while shake time can be set from 0 to 600 seconds. This allows for optimal reagent interaction during washes.

 7. Waste Liquid Overflow Alarm

To prevent spills and maintain a clean workspace, our microplate washers include a waste liquid overflow alarm function that alerts users when waste containers are full.

 8. Portable Design

The compact design of DIATEK’s microplate washers makes them easy to fit into any laboratory space without compromising on performance.
