Hardware& Environmental
60 Hz.
Accessory Outlet ≤ 5.0 A, used for vacuum pump
Dimensions
(W x D x H)
14 x 17 x 10 inches (36 cm x 43 cm x 25 cm)
Weight (≤) 32 lb (14.5 kg)/36 lb with Buffer Switching (16.3 kg)
Operating
Conditions
10° - 40°C (50° - 104°F)
Relative Humidity The instrument should be operated in a non-condensing humid
environment having a maximum relative humidity of 80% at
temperatures up to 31°C decreasing linearly to 50% relative humidity
at 40°C.
Manifold Type
96-tube Single or Dual manifold with 96 sets of aspirate and dispense tubes
arranged in an 8x12 array. Single manifolds can only process 96-well
microplates; dual manifolds can process 96- and 384-well plates.
192-tube Dual manifold with 192 sets of aspirate and dispense tubes arranged
in a 16 x 12 array can only process 384-well plates.
Waste bottle volume 4, 10, or 20 liters, depending on the accessory package, (2
bottles, one with sensor)
Supply bottle volume 2 4L or 10L bottles (4 bottles w/ Buffer Switching)
Performance Specifications
Average Residual Volume (Evacuation Efficiency)
96-Tube Manifold
(Single and Dual)
Average residual volume in the microwells is ≤ 2 µL per well after a
3-cycle wash, when 300 µL of deionized water with 0.1% Tween 20
®
,
or buffer equivalent, is dispensed per well into a Costar

96-well
flat-bottom plate. The aspirate height adjustment is optimized for the
plate prior to testing.
192-Tube
Manifold
Average residual volume in the microwells is ≤2 µL per well after a 3-
cycle wash, when 100 µL of deionized water with 0.1% Tween 20, or
buffer equivalent, is dispensed per well into a Costar 384-well flat-
bottom plate. The aspirate height adjustment is optimized for the
405™ Microplate Washer LS
