The plate washing system includes at least one manifold having a plurality of pipes configured to be provided within wells of a plate in order to wash the wells, at least one manifold having a plurality of pipes, a tank, an ultrasonic transducer mounted to the tank, and a control system. When tips of the pipes are positioned within the tank, the control system activates the ultrasonic transducer in order to vibrate a fluid within the tank. The plate washing system may additionally comprise a level sensing system which can detect fluid levels in order to establish instrument function and/or the need to clean via the ultrasonic cleaning system.
