Description:
The HydroFlex microplate washer is a truly flexible and upgradeable platform for automated microplate strip washing, magnetic bead washing and vacuum filtration in 96-well plate formats. It is an ideal solution for a wide range of cell-, bead- and ELISA-based applications, reflecting over 30 years of Tecan expertise in advanced liquid handling. It comes with microplate shaking and automated buffer switching included, ready for ELISA washing and gentle washing of cells. The HydroFlex plate washer has been designed to meet IVD-D 98/79/EC when configured for ELISA washing. The HydroFlex can be fully programmed and operated as a standalone instrument using the built-in display and keypad, and features a selection of predefined cleaning protocols for easy maintenance. The HydroFlex system is also supplied with Tecan's intuitive HydroControl software, providing example wash programs and a predefined plate library, as well as a simulation mode for offline operation. Wash programs created in HydroControl can be quickly transferred to the on-board memory of the HydroFlex plate washer via a USB interface, using the download function.
