automate.it TipWash - Ultrasonic Tip Wash Probe Washer
     
Introduction Introduction
  automate.it TipWash  

The automate.it TipWash ULTRA tip wash system gives many advantages, including:

  • Ultrasound is the most efficient mode of cleaning
  • 10000 fold reduction in potential carryover
  • More than 90% reduction in consumption of disposable pipette tips
  • Better results in Drug Discovery, SPA, PCR, DNA, RNA, ELISA and Biomarker Assays
  • Works on all sizes of tips, especially nanoscale
  • Works on disposable and fixed tips
  • Has the same outside footprint as the microplates. This ensures an easy fit in any spare deck position of any brand of liquid handler.
  • The automate.it TipWash ULTRA system is equipped with inlet and outlet ports so the cleaning agent can be drained and filled by an external pump with the unit remaining on deck. This eliminates the need to interrupt the sequence.
  • The control unit (above) can be mounted off deck if required.

More Information Ultrasonic cleaning
  Ultrasound is the most efficient mode of cleaning both plastic pipette tips and metal pin sets.
  • In High Throughput Screening, Genomics and Proteomics you dispense volumes down to 50nL through 384 or 1536 channel nanodispense heads. You can only clean these pins/tips properly if you use ultrasonic cleaning.
  • Irrespective of whether you use disposable heads or nanodispense heads this device offers enhanced cleaning of your fixed and disposable tips.
  • We supply ultrasonic tip wash systems as an OEM to one of the largest manufacturers of liquid handlers.
  • The automate.it TipWash ULTRA was originally developed to be used on the deck of the PerkinElmer range of MPD’s to facilitate the washing of the 384- channel tip head.
