Abstract
An autoclaving microplate washing system for cells and non-adhering three-dimensional (3D) cell cultures is provided. The autoclaving microplate washing system may include a dispensing pump; an aspirating peristaltic pump; and a processor configured to execute a cleaning control program, which when executed causes the autoclaving microplate washing system to independently control: the dispensing pump to control a first flow rate of a solution from a fluid reservoir through a plurality of dispense lines for output via the dispense pipes in microplate wells corresponding to positions of the dispense pipes; and the aspirating peristaltic pump to control a second flow rate of a waste solution through a plurality of aspiration lines for aspiration via aspiration pipes in microplate wells corresponding to positions of the aspiration pipes.
