User-friendly washer that works well for small volume plates.
Wash-steps for cells plated in 384-well plates
I used the BlueWasher for washing cells (HEK293 and CHO-K1) after overnight incubation. Using small volume Greiner 384 well plates and 3x GentleSpinWash with PBS, I got very robust and reproducible results using CHO-K1 cells. PDL-coating and switching to HBSS as wash medium helped to get the HEK293 cell lines to work as well. Unfortunately, switching to regular 384 well plates led to loss of a high amount of cells. Overall, the washer is easy to use and to maintain. I definitely recommend it for small volume plates but see deficits using higher volume plates.

The Bluewasher is an excellent plate washer for HTS use.
Plate washer
The Bluewasher offers contact free plate washing, which reduces potential for contamination. Also, because there are no aspiration tips, we don't have to worry about tip clogging. We use our plate washers in automation so with traditional plate washers when a tip clogs we are not standing here to see it and often don't notice clogged tips until we are visualizing results and it is too late. The Bluewasher is simple to program and integrates easily with automation.

Blue®Washer uses centrifugation to remove liquids from 96, 384 and 1536w plates, eliminating background and variability in assay data. Highly reproducible residual volumes 10x lower than conventional plate washers raise z' by 0.1-0.3 for typical cellular assays. Higher z' means more reliable compound profiles - fewer truly active compounds missed AND fewer false positives to re-screen.

With a suite of magnetic carriers, Blue®Washer dramatically reduces run time and tip waste for magnetic bead assays.
Blue®Washer's magnetic carriers retain magnetic beads during centrifugal evacuation, eliminating costly and time consuming liquid removal by automated liquid handlers. Adding a Blue®Washer to your ALH typically doubles ALH throughput while eliminating tip waste in separation and wash steps.
