5 devices in one: dispenser, shaker, incubator, washer and reader for one 96-well microplate

fully automated cycle of the ELISA without transferring the microplate between devices

Crocodile LB 925 miniWorkstation 5-in-one is a compact system for complete automation of one 96-well ELISA microplate, which frees the operator from sequential transfer of the microplate between individual devices.

It combines a dispenser, shaker, incubator, washer and photometric reader. Open source software allows you to create protocols for various 96-well tests, manage incubation, dosing, washing, stirring and reading. Version 4-in-one has the same working mechanics, but without a built-in reader.

Format - one 96-well microplate ANSI / SLAS. Reader version 5-in-one: range 400-690 nm, pre-installed filters 405/450/492/620 nm, 8 slots, range 0-3.0 OD at 450 nm Dispenser: four independent pumps, 10-2000 μl. washer: autoclavable 8-channel manifold, 25-1000 μl, three containers of 1 liter and drain capacity of 2 l. ambient temperature +4 °C to 55 °C; linear stirring 5-20 Hz Dimensions 25.8×26.3×62.6 cm; weight 14.8 kg.

8-channel washing unit

flushing-quality

Automation of the cycle

One device combines a dispenser, shaker, incubator, washer and reader - the microplate is not transferred between devices
The operator inserts a microplate with samples and standards, chooses a protocol - then the system works without participation
The device is pre-installed and ready to work in a few minutes after connecting

Flexibility

Crocodile Control Software is adaptable to any 96-well protocol
In addition to pre-installed filters ELISA (405, 450, 492, 620 nm) available 4 positions for own filters
A small number of moving units increases the reliability of the design

Maintenance and validation

System washing and tube replacement are performed by a simple procedure
Optional IQ/OQ/PQ package for installation and operation qualification
Data imported into LightCompass software with FDA support for 21 CFR Part 11
