Cell Protection™ extra gentle drop-wise dispensing to minimize cell detachment
Reduced turbulence via online optimization of dispense position
Typical cell recovery of ≥85% using tuneable aspiration settings Fast bead settling thanks to a patent pending design using two magnets per well
High bead recovery rates (typically ≥90 %) via tuneable aspiration settings
Optional vacuum filtration for non-magnetic bead washing Anti-Clogging™ active prevention of needle blockage for reliable operation
Automated rinsing and soaking of wash head for easy handling
Easy X-change wash heads for straightforward ultrasonic cleaning
Based on more than 30 years of experience in automated liquid handling, Tecan understands that advanced plate washing applications require precise control of dispensing and aspiration settings to avoid loss of material and poor reproducibility. With full on-board operation via the easy-to-use touchscreen interface, the HydroSpeed really does offer you power and control for all your cell, bead and ELISA washing applications.
Cell Protection™
Extra gentle cell washing with tuneable wash power
Loosely adherent cell lines, such as P815 and HEK 293, are commonly used for a wide range of research applications, but are challenging to wash for typical plate washers.
Discover the difference with Tecan's HydroSpeed expert cell washer:
Drop-wise dispense speed to avoid cell detachment
Optimization of dispense position to minimize turbulence in the wells
Tunable aspiration parameters, including needle position and vacuum level, to avoid cell loss
Reduced costs by eliminating the need for a dedicated cell washing head
Extra gentle wash settings for loosely adherent cells
Anti-Clogging™
Reliable operation through active prevention of needle clogging
Automated ELISA processing using a microplate washer is now a routine task for many laboratories, yet crystallization of wash buffer within the aspiration/dispense needles remains a common problem. The HydroSpeed's innovative Anti-Clogging function actively prevents needle clogging by automatically rinsing and soaking the wash head when the washer is idle for a user-defined period.
Highlights of Anti-Clogging function include:
Automated start of rinse & soak steps of the wash head to avoid buffer crystallization
Fail safe procedure in case user has forgotten to start daily maintenance program
No downtime for cleaning of spills typically caused by needle blockage
Easy X-change wash heads allows additional intense cleaning in an external ultrasonic bath
Anti-Clogging function
Patent pending design using dual magnets per well
Efficient bead settling and high bead recovery rates
Multiplexed assays using magnetic beads are becoming increasingly popular for a variety of applications, but achieving good wash results without loosing beads remains a challenge. The HydroSpeed washer protects magnetic beads by settling them away from the needles during aspiration, achieving low residual volumes while maintaining high bead recovery rates.
Features include:
Powerful rare-earth magnets to provide fast and efficient bead settling
Two magnets per well to keep the beads out of the way during washing
Adjustable vacuum level and aspiration position for optimized bead recovery
Optimized bead recovery using two magnets per well
Ease of use
Integrated monitoring of liquid level in waste bottle
Integrated pressure-based liquid level detection (p-LLD) system informs operator when waste bottle is full
Patent pending p-LLD function avoids the risk of blockage common to swimmer-based LLD systems mounted in the waste bottle, increasing safety and eliminating additional cleaning steps
p-LLD function
Patent-pending auto-adjust function for easy teaching of new plates
Provides automated adjustment of the bottom aspiration position located inside the wells for optimized wash results
Takes the hassle out of teaching plates with non-transparent wells typically used for reading of fluorescence or luminescence assays
Handles different well geometries in 96- & 384-plate formats including flat-bottom, round-bottom and v-shaped wells
Plate assistant function
