Molecular Devices AquaMax 2000 Microplate Washer

The Molecular Devices AquaMax 2000 Microplate Washer is designed for laboratories that require efficient and precise washing of 96-well microplates, catering to both biochemical and cell-based assays. This device is self-contained, negating the need for external pumps or computers, which contributes to its compact footprint, making it suitable for laboratories with limited bench space. Key to its functionality is the ability to easily switch between 96 and 384-well wash heads (384-well wash head not included) without the need for tools, calibration, or alignment. This feature ensures a high degree of flexibility and ease of use, facilitating the washing process across all wells simultaneously, which is essential for reducing processing times and avoiding mechanical plate indexing. The AquaMax 2000 is equipped with two fluid inlets, simplifying the setup process for various washing protocols by allowing quick connections to buffer and solution bottles without needing to interchange them frequently. Maintenance and operation are streamlined through comprehensive cleaning protocols, accessible via a simple button press, and a standby feature that keeps the system ready for immediate use.

Programming capabilities are robust, with an intuitive touchscreen interface that allows users to configure up to 100 different washing and maintenance programs, each with up to 50 steps. This programmability caters to a wide range of washing requirements, from aggressive washing suitable for robust biochemical assays to gentle washing needed for cell-based assays to avoid disrupting cell layers. The device supports a variety of microplate types, including SBS-conforming polystyrene and polypropylene plates with flat, round, and V-bottom configurations. It offers a washing volume range from 100 to 3,000 uL and can complete a wash cycle in as little as 11 seconds for a single 300 uL/well cycle, demonstrating its efficiency. In summary, the Molecular Devices AquaMax 2000 Microplate Washer offers laboratories a flexible and efficient solution for microplate washing, with features designed to accommodate a broad spectrum of assay types and microplate configurations, emphasizing ease of use, rapid processing, and operational readiness.

All of our equipment is fully tested to perform at factory specifications before being shipped.
