The micro-plate washer is a piece of equipment designed to carry out processes for cleaning the plates used in the practice of Elisa, by processes of infusion and aspiration of the substances or showing that they are incorporated into the polyethylene support. It has reservoirs containing the liquids, with one holding a washing pad and the other collecting the substances that are thrown away.
In the study laboratories, the microplate washer is part of the research process, although it does not detect the disease, it is the complement of the microplate reader and allows the detection of different diseases by giving guaranteed results. And Kalstein has the team responsible for responding to the washing cycles for the different practices that are done at the medical and research level.
Microplate Scrubber as a Research Tool
Human lymphotropic virus is a disease that causes disorders such as chronic myelopathy characterized by a clinical picture of spastic paraparesis, causing leukemia and cellular lymphoma in patients. The disease is caused by transmitters immigrating from endemic areas and from indigenous populations who have sex with them. The period of development can range from years to decades, and transfer occurs through sexual contact, blood supply, sharing of needles and mother-to-child sharing through breast milk. It is classified as an oncovirus because of its pathogenicity.
To diagnose the presence of infection with the Human Lymphotropic Virus, the Elisa reader is used for the serological screening of this disease, and the determined antigens are absorbed in a polyethylene plate where they are prepared with the test sera.
Therefore, the micro-plate washer plays an essential role in these tests, as it keeps the plates clean through injection, suction and suction washing cycles automatically using the pad to remove any elements that failed to join to avoid incorrect results.
