Abstract
An autoclaving microplate washing system for cells and non-adhering three-dimensional (3D) cell cultures includes one or more pumps for controlling the dispensing of washing fluid and the evacuation of fluid from microwells to gently wash the cells. A method of controlling the autoclaving microplate washing system includes controlling the one or more pumps for dispensing and evacuation.
Claims20
A microplate cell washing system, the system comprising:
- a dispense line;
- a dispensing pump connected to the dispense line and configured to control a first flow rate of a solution from a fluid reservoir through the dispense line;
- an aspiration line;
- and
- an aspirating pump, independently controlled from the dispensing pump, connected to the aspiration line and configured to impart a second flow rate to a waste solution through the aspiration line.

A method for control of a microplate cell washing system, the system comprising:
- a dispense line;
- a dispensing pump connected to the dispense line and configured to control a first flow rate of a solution from a fluid reservoir through the dispense line;
- an aspiration line;
- and
- an aspirating pump, independently controlled from the dispensing pump, connected to the aspiration line and configured to impart a second flow rate to a waste solution through the aspiration line, the method comprising:
- controlling the dispensing pump to control the first flow rate of the solution from the fluid reservoir to a well defined in a well plate;
- and
- controlling, independently of the dispensing pump, the aspiration pump to control the second flow rate of the waste solution from the well defined in the well plate to a waste fluid reservoir.
