Thorough Washing with the BioTek® 405™TSUVS Plate Washer for SMC® Technology
Ensure consistent performance of your SMC® assays using the BioTek® 405™TSUVS Plate Washer specifically designed for use with SMC® technology, for thorough washing.
How Is the BioTek® 405™TSUVS Plate Washer Specific for SMC® Assays?
When counting at the single molecule level, it is critical to ensure reliable assay performance. For SMC® assays, one vital consideration is to ensure thorough bead washing during key stages of the workflow. The BioTek® 405™TSUVS Plate Washer for SMC® technology has been specifically modified with a custom magnetic plate and SMC® specific wash procedures to improve assay performance by preventing bead loss and ensuring consistency between wells.

Plate Washer Features
In addition to the unique features of the SMC® washer design, this plate washer has the same features available on the standard BioTek® 405™TSUVS Washer, a globally recognized standard for microplate washers. This includes unique features designed to wash microsphere-based assays efficiently and effectively with outstanding results for every application.
Adjustable Settings
Angled dispense tubes and adjustable dispense and aspiration rate settings to optimize washing.
Self-Maintaining Design
A patented ultrasonic bath enables the instrument to automatically clean buildup in the manifold preventing manifold tube clogs.
Flexibility
Allows for washing of both 96-and 384-well plates. Also includes automated internal buffer switching from up to 4 different buffer bottles.
Adaptable for Use with Luminex® Assays
The washer is easily adaptable for use with Luminex® bead-based assays. By exchanging the magnetic plate on the SMC® washer with a Dexter 96F magnet available from BioTek® products (part# 7103016), as well as the addition of washing protocols, the washer can easily be used for other types of assays with no physical adjustments to the washer required.
