SQUIRT the simple solution for flexible and reliable plate washing

Multiformat plate washer/coater handles any plate format in a single instrument

The SQUIRT microplate washer is designed for reliability either as a bench top device or in an integrated robotic system. SQUIRT microplate washers can wash any 96, 384 and 1536 well SBS formatted plate without manifold exchange or adjustment at speeds up to three wash/dry cycles per 15 seconds. The SQUIRT microplate washer's unique slit manifold design sweeps a blade of liquid across the whole surface of the plate. A second manifold completes the operation by drying with an air blade.  This minimizes clogging of the manifold and eliminates the 'corona effect' where cells are selectively removed from the centre of the wells during washing with traditional probe based instruments. A plate inversion spraying technique achieves a wash efficiency of greater than 10^6. SQUIRT microplate washers are perfect for any lab performing cell based assays, ELISA, coating microplates, high content screening or proteomics and genomics research.
Wash any SBS compliant microplate with a single microplate washer Advanced wash head manifold design eliminates the need for separate wash heads for different plate formats Precise, fast, easy to use, and robotics compatible Ideal for the most demanding wash requirements with washing efficiency - dilutions > 10^6 Quick setup with easy out-of-the box design	The SQUIRT can be fitted with an optional magnetic plate carrier insert for applications using magnetic bead technology. The magnetic plate carrier can be quickly attached to the SQUIRT, to secure magnetic beads to the bottom of the microplate during washing.
