Biomek Disposable Tip Wash ALP, 96-Channel 

Washer ALP
Includes wash station, wash pump, supply tank, and drain/waste tank, ALP platform. Tip Wash ALPs can be configured in the outer most columns and back row of instrument.
NOTE: Requires Biomek Device Controller (P/N 719366).
The Biomek Disposable Tip Wash ALP 96-Channel is controlled by the Biomek System Software via the Biomek Device Controller. The washes can be manually configured or automatically configured. The Tip Wash ALP provides a constant flow of liquid into 96 individual channels to wash the exterior of the pipetting tip. The inside of the tip is washed by aspirating and dispensing from the flow of liquid. The tip wash ALP reduces running costs by curtailing or eliminating the use of tips. Multiple tip wash ALPs can be configured for differing liquids or for specific pipettors.

8-Channel Tip Wash ALP 

For washing Biomek Fixed Tips. Includes drain/waste tank and ALP platform. Can be located in the outermost columns and back row of instrument. NOTE: Uses system liquid for rinsing via syringe pumps. Faster washing can be provided using the optional Biomek Speed Pump (P/N 719653). The Tip Wash ALP provides individual cavities where system liquid flows through each of the eight channels to clean the interior of the tips. The exterior of the tips are cleaned as the system liquids overflows each cavity. Multiple tip wash ALPs can be configured for differing liquids or for specific pipettors.
