PerkinElmer JANUS Liquid Handler Flush and Drain Station

Description

The PerkinElmer 8675309 Flush and Drain Station is a critical accessory module designed for the JANUS Automated Liquid Handling Workstation. This station serves as the dedicated location for the automated cleaning and waste disposal of the system’s liquid handling tips.

The station is engineered with dual functionality to support high-throughput workflows. First, it provides a flushing reservoir where the robotic arm can lower the tips to circulate cleaning solution (system liquid or specific wash buffers) through the probes, effectively removing residual sample or reagents to prevent cross-contamination. Second, it includes a drain mechanism that routes the waste liquid out of the wash cup and into the system’s waste container. This module is essential for protocols involving reusable fixed tips or situations where thorough tip washing between aspiration and dispensing steps is required to maintain assay integrity.
