Two ways to wash a plate
The 405 TS offers two ways to wash a plate:
l Quick Wash: using the touch screen you can wash a plate by defining a few
parameters like fluid volume and number of wash cycles and rely on default
parameters for the more advanced options. .
l Run a Wash Protocol: using either the touch screen or the LHC you can run a
wash protocol to wash a plate. You can run a predefined protocol or define your
own protocol to specify the optimal parameters for your assay. See Running
