Dispensing accuracy (manifold with 10ml syringe) must be better than 1% at 25ul – 96 well plates and dispensing precision (manifold with 10ml syringe) CV less than 5% at 25ul – 96 plates. Operating temperature range of at least 50 degrees F to 104 degrees F. Microplate washer must have small dimensions to fit laboratory constraints without the need for computer control; overall dimension with 30 plate magazines installed cannot exceed more than 27 inches width x 22 inches depth x 24 inches height.
