The Athenese ALTA ELISA Microplate Washer is a professional laboratory instrument designed for automated washing of ELISA microplates and strips during routine immunoassay workflows.
Proper washing is a critical part of ELISA testing because unbound reagents must be removed between reaction steps without disturbing the specific antigen-antibody complexes retained in the wells.
The ALTA washer provides programmable washing, aspiration, dispensing, soaking and plate-handling functions to help laboratories achieve more consistent ELISA wash cycles compared with purely manual washing.
It is suitable for professional use in diagnostic laboratories, pathology laboratories, hospital laboratories, blood banks, serology departments, medical colleges and other ELISA testing facilities.

The ALTA ELISA Washer is a programmable microplate washing system used during ELISA assay processing.
After reagents and specimens are incubated in ELISA wells, the plate must usually be washed to remove unbound material.
The washer automates this step by:
This helps standardise a stage of ELISA testing that can otherwise be highly operator-dependent.
The ALTA washer is equipped with an 8-way manifold designed for washing strips and microplates.
The manifold is removable and intended for routine maintenance and cleaning.
The instrument can wash a single strip of 8 wells, making it practical for laboratories that do not always process a full plate.
Dispensing is programmable up to:
500 µL
depending on the assay requirement.
The listed residual volume is:
<2 µL
helping reduce carryover of residual liquid after aspiration.
The washer uses continuous aspiration while dispensing to help reduce overflow during the washing process.
The ALTA washer incorporates automatic bottom detection to help position the manifold appropriately for compatible well geometries.
The instrument includes collision-prevention functionality intended to reduce the risk of the manifold contacting or scratching the well bottom.
Soak time can be programmed according to the specific ELISA protocol.
The number and sequence of wash cycles can be configured to match different reagent-kit requirements.
The ALTA ELISA washer supports several plate-washing and maintenance functions:
Plate Wash
For complete plate washing.
Strip Wash
For individual ELISA strips.
Bottom Wash
For washing closer to the bottom of compatible wells.
Overflow Wash
For high-volume or overflow-style washing protocols.
Rinsing
For flushing the system.
Priming
For preparing the fluid pathway before use.
Disinfect Mode
For laboratory maintenance according to the manufacturer’s procedure.

Washing is one of the most important procedural steps in ELISA.
If unbound conjugate or other reagent remains in the wells, background optical density can increase.
If washing is too aggressive or incorrectly programmed, assay performance may also be affected.
A programmable washer helps laboratories control:
The actual settings must always follow the specific ELISA kit IFU.
A typical washing sequence may include:
Exact washing parameters should be set according to the assay protocol rather than using one common setting for all kits.
These instruments perform different parts of the ELISA workflow.

For a complete ELISA setup, the ALTA Washer + ALTA Reader can form a practical equipment pair.
The ALTA washer may be used with compatible ELISA protocols for:
Compatibility depends on the plate format and washing instructions specified by the reagent manufacturer.
The ALTA ELISA Washer is intended for trained professionals working in:
This instrument is not intended for home use.
The ALTA washer can help improve laboratory workflow through:
The instrument uses dedicated fluid bottles for routine operation.
Wash Bottle: 2 L
Rinse Bottle: 2 L
Waste Bottle: 2 L
The waste bottle includes an audible full-warning function.
Routine maintenance should follow the manufacturer’s current instructions.
General good laboratory practice includes:
Do not dismantle internal components unless performed by authorised personnel.
Install the instrument on a stable laboratory bench away from:
Ensure sufficient space around the unit for fluid bottles and tubing.
During transport:
Use the ALTA ELISA Reader for optical-density measurement after completion of compatible ELISA assays.
