The Columbus Pro high-performance microplate strip-washer

Building on a decade of experience in microplate washing, the optimised Columbus Pro sets a new performance and reliability standard for a range of applications.

As a highlight in its class the Columbus Pro comes with a unique, 100 % leak-resistant aspiration pump with magnetic drive technology and a high performance dispense pump ensuring high reliability and low service costs. Additionally, its advanced design combines full control over critical wash parameters such as minimum residual volume with unique on-line process control functions via Fill Verification option and Liquid Level option. Setting a new standard in its class the Columbus Pro for assay testing in 96-well format was designed to meet the EU Directive 98/79/EC for in vitro diagnostic products

Product highlights include:
  • 8-, 12- or 16-channel manifolds for optimum throughput in 96-well format
  • Fill Verification option for unique on-line process control of wash step
  • Liquid level option for on-line process control of waste, rinse and wash bottles
  • Unique, 100% leak-resistant aspiration pump with magnetic drive technology
  • Multiple aspiration points ensure minimum residual volume per well
  • Overflow procedure for high wash efficiency replaces sequential wash steps
  • Easy operation via built-in keypad or new WinWash Clinical control software
  • WinWash Clinical software fulfils needs for electronic records and signatures
  • Easy integration into automated ELISA platforms such as Freedom EVOlyzer®
  • For research-use only, an optional manifold for 384-well plates and an optional manifold for cell washing are available
