The AquaMax DW4 is the only system to handle 1536-well washing, as well as 96- and 384-well low-volume formats.
Developed for life scientists and drug discovery researchers, the system provides better results with adherent and non-adherent cell lines and beads, and improved productivity over current dispensers.
Windows-compatible software gives the user the flexibility to easily programme multiple dispense and wash procedures.
Commenting on the introduction, Stephen Oldfield, vice president of worldwide marketing at Molecular Devices stated: "Elisas, kinase, phosphatase, and GPCR-type assays that require washing and multiple dispensing steps can now be done on one compact unit - there is no need for multiple instruments.
"The small footprint saves valuable space in the lab and the system's low-volume dispense capability saves in costly reagent usage - for 384-well low-volume microplates, dispensing has been optimised down to 0.5ml. Request a free brochure from Molecular Devices ...
"Furthermore, the user can easily expand throughput capabilities by upgrading from 96-well through 1536-well in one system.".
