Description

The 3D-IW8 Inteliwasher microplate washer from Biosan has been developed for washing standard 96-well microplates, microstrips and microarrays in FAST frames (rectangular well shape). Microplate well bottoms can be flat, U-shaped or V-shaped. 

The 3D-IW8 is fully programmable so that the end-user can create their own customised and automated multi-step protocols. Functionality includes:

• Washing mode
• Rinsing mode
• Mixing mode
• Soaking mode
• Single point, two point, circular or rectangular path aspiration
• Option for additional solution mixing during time gap between two work cycles
• Round-bottom plate and microstrip washing mode

The 3D-IW8 is supplied with 50 pre-installed programmes divided into five aspiration categories as follows:

Type 1 (1.0–1.9): IPF96 U/V for round and V-shape microplates: 1 point aspiration
Type 2 (2.0–2.9): IPF96 FLAT-2 for flat-bottom shape microplates: 2 point aspiration
Type 3 (3.0–3.9): IPF96 FLAT-C for rectangular shape microplates: full-circle aspiration direction
Type 4 (4.0–4.9): FastFRAME-2 for multi-slide plate* with rectangular wells
Type 5 (5.0–5.9): FastFRAME-C for multi-slide* plate with rectangular wells

* Compatible with FAST frame multi-slide plates or multi-slide plates from other manufacturers that are designed to hold standard 25 mm x 76 mm glass slides.

Optional Accessories

A 4-channel washing and waste solution weight logger is available that provides automatic feedback of rinsing solution and waste volumes. The washer shows remaining volume for each bottle as a percentage and gives a warning message in case of low solution volume or a full waste bottle.
