C.WASH PLUS

Washer Plus Dispenser. A Proven Powerhouse.

The all-new C.WASH PLUS combines a high throughput, automation-ready and patented centrifugal plate washer with precise and dedicated dispensing capabilities for multi-reagent immune and cell-based assays in 96, 384 and 1536 well plate formats.

As a proud part of BICO's Green Label initiative, the C.WASH PLUS not only improves your lab's productivity but also supports environmental sustainability. By choosing this plate washer and dispenser, you're stepping into a greener future: it reduces plastic waste with its tipless, centrifugal washing feature and speeds up lab processes.

Upgrade your lab with the C.WASH PLUS and make a difference in both science and sustainability.

 

Key Features & Benefits

1. Non-contact, centrifugal liquid washing:No carryovers. No cross-contamination. No use of pipette tips.

2. Ultra-low residual volume:Spin your way to 99.99% washing efficiency with less than 0.1µl residual volume and drastically less waste.

3. Automate entire assays:12 liquid inputs and the new precision dispenser make it ideal for automating assays such as ELISA or cell staining, compound addition & washing procedures.

4. Cell-friendly dispensing:Plate perfection: C.WASH nails precise positioning, low-volume dispensing, and gentle evacuation, making cell detachment in 96 to 1536 wells a thing of the past.

5. Programmable versatility:With the C.WASH PLUS software, tailor your lab's workflow like a pro. Customize dispensing, tweak volumes, pause on demand – the control is all yours; end-to-end.

6. Effortless maintenance:Our instrument self-cleans like a dream. Just hook up the solution, hit 'clean', and watch it scrub its insides – rotor to head. Lazy maintenance, lasting performance.

 

Applications

1. Assay Automation:To fully automate common cell-based assay protocols, several buffers and staining solutions need to be dispensed. Some of these reagent are expensive and require a precise dispensing with minimal dead-volumes. Additionally, in order to automate the entire ELISA protocol, additional reagents need to be dispensed: a coating buffer, a blocking buffer, and antibody solutions. Some of these reagent are also expensive and require a precise dispensing with mini dead-volumes. Assay automation with mini waste is now made possible with the C.WASH PLUS.

2. Immunoassays (e.g. ELISA plate washing and multiplexed protein assays such as MSD):ELISAs are very sensitive immunoassays, therefore cross contamination and/or pipetting inaccuracies may result in high coefficient of variation (CV). The accurate non-contact dispensing limits both cross contamination and therefore reduces CV. Moreover, the lower residual volume after washing enables better washing efficiency and reduces the number of washes required.

3. Cell Washing – Adherent and Suspension Cells:Use the C.WASH PLUS as a simple and reproducible method to wash suspension cells. Following centrifugation of the plate to pellet cells, the liquid supernatant is then evacuating using the C.WASH PLUS, resulting in washes with consistent low residual volume and with more cell retention as compared to manual workflow.

4. Plate Coating:Coating wells with proteins or peptides more cell adhesion in your microplates. Streamline the coating process in your laboratory using the C.WASH PLUS. Dispense the coating solution, choose your incubation time and wash and dry the plates for better and reproducible coating of your plates.

5. Washing in 1536-well format (HTS)
