Description

The Microplate Washer YG1751 is a high-performance system designed for laboratories demanding precision cleaning and contamination-free operation. Featuring dual-needle manifold technology, this microprocessor-controlled washer delivers <3μL residual volume across 96- and 48-well plates with flat, U-, or V-bottom configurations. The system’s intelligent liquid detection and alert function prevents dry runs, while 50 programmable protocols (up to 99 cycles each) ensure workflow consistency. With included 2L wash/waste bottles and RS232 connectivity, this compact unit (39×33×18cm) optimizes bench space without compromising functionality.
