The ELx405 family of washers has been designed to meet the challenges of various applications, reliability, easy maintenance, yet cost-effectiveness. The ELx405 series of washers use BioTek Instruments’ patented manifold design to overcome the difficulties presented by high-density microplates and allows virtually the same functionality to be applied to 384-well plates as that is expected with 96-well microplate. The dispense and aspiration manifolds are placed into two physically different parts that are arranged on top of each other. The HTSF has the model (ELx405UCWVS (ELx405 Select CW) that is optimized for loosely adherent cells to allow for washing of HTS plates with minimal disruption to cell attachment. Multiple containers are available to create different buffers for washing or fixation steps.

NOTE: Access to UC Berkeley facilities and services requires prior university approval which takes as little as 24 hours. Select "Request Access" button to begin the process and contact support@secondlab.com with any questions.
Once approved, each user will be added to the iLab scheduling app so they can make reservations in iLab as well as Second Lab. If you are working with live human cells or tissue, transgenic cell lines, and/or recombinant DNA you will need to have an approved BUA for UCB campus core facility work.
Please allow time for these processes to finalize by responding quickly to emails concerning these two tasks, contact information about your company and user emails will be needed for the iLab registration and a template will assist you with the BUA applications, as well as assistance from core facility managers and UCB administration. BUAs are reviewed monthly.
Each user must complete instrument-specific training before using the instrumentation. See listing descriptions for more details.
