Mindray MW-12A Microplate Washer

The Mindray MW-12A Microplate Washer is an automated laboratory plate-washing system designed for efficient washing of microplates used in ELISA, enzyme immunoassay and other microplate-based diagnostic procedures. The system automates repetitive aspiration, dispensing, soaking and shaking operations, helping laboratories achieve consistent washing between assay stages while reducing the workload and variability associated with manual plate washing. The MW-12A supports 8-way and 12-way washing manifolds and provides programmable wash protocols to accommodate different laboratory assays. Parameters such as wash cycles, dispensing volume, aspiration time, soaking and shaking can be configured according to assay requirements. Its residual-volume control helps minimize liquid remaining in wells after aspiration, an important consideration for maintaining reliable ELISA assay performance. The analyzer also incorporates features such as automatic plate positioning, liquid-level monitoring and waste/full-bottle warning, supporting safer and more convenient routine operation.
