Agilent BioTek EL406 Microplate Washer Dispenser 406PSUB1 with Ultrasonic and Multi-Pump Configuration
Product Description
The Agilent BioTek EL406 Microplate Washer Dispenser 406PSUB1 is an integrated laboratory automation device combining precise microplate washing and reagent dispensing capabilities, optimized for biotechnology and molecular diagnostics workflows. Its configuration includes:
- Compatible Plate Formats: 96- and 384-well microplates with optional upgrade to 1536-well plate support using specialized syringe manifolds.
- Dispensing Technology: Dual syringe pumps and a peristaltic pump provide flexible liquid handling with dispensing volumes ranging from 1 µL to 3000 µL, ensuring <10% CV precision at 1 µL and <3% CV at 300 µL (typical better precision).
- Washing Features: Equipped with a 96-tube dual-action wash manifold enabling independent, precise dispensing and aspiration. Optional 192-tube manifold available for enhanced throughput during 384-well plate washing. Ultrasonic cleaning technology integrated to reduce clogs and enhance wash clarity.
- Operational Functions: Programmable shaking, soaking, and sonication functions for thorough assay preparation and wash cycles. Supports multiple washing buffers and dispensing liquids with buffer switching capability (up to 4 buffers with a valve module).
- Software Compatibility: Works seamlessly with LHC software facilitating complex method creation and laboratory informatics integration.
- Applications: Widely used in ELISA, MSD assays, cell- and bead-based assays, magnetic and vacuum filtration protocols, and essential for molecular cloning workflows including microvolume PCR setup and serial dilutions.
- Additional Features: Compact design supports labs with limited space while maintaining reliable and reproducible assay performance critical in biopharmaceutical production pipelines and synthetic biology research. Integrated quality control includes ultrasonic wash head verification and comprehensive stress testing ensuring instrument durability under continuous bioprocessing demands.
This system is popular among molecular biology researchers, biotechnologists, and clinical diagnostic labs, playing a critical role in bioprocessing applications, gene editing workflows, and high-throughput screening environments. The EL406’s versatile fluidics and precise control make it an essential instrument for biomanufacturing and molecular diagnostics requiring consistent, accurate reagent delivery and efficient plate washing.
Key Technical Specifications:
- Dispense Volume Range (Peristaltic pump): 1–3000 µL depending on dispense cassette
- Dispense Precision: <10% CV at 1 µL typical <3% CV
- Washer Volume Range (96-tube manifold): 50–3000 µL, Precision <3% CV at 300 µL
- Wash Parameters: Selectable wash settings with crosswise aspiration to minimize residue
- Dispense Liquids: Up to 3 simultaneous liquids
- Wash Buffers: 1 standard, expandable to 4 with optional valve module
- Modules Included: 1 Peristaltic Pump, 2 Syringe Pumps, Ultrasonic wash module, buffer switching ready, 96- and 384-well wash compatibility
Service, Validation & Warranty:
Each unit undergoes rigorous inspection, mechanical maintenance, electronic validation, and operational stress testing. Gravimetric and dye-based volumetric accuracy verification across all dispense channels eliminates risks of edge bias and nozzle clogging, guaranteeing lab-grade precision essential in molecular diagnostics and bioprocessing environments. Warranty coverage and optional extended service agreements support long-term reliability.
By choosing the Agilent BioTek EL406, biotechnology labs gain a reliable, cost-effective solution for high-precision microplate handling critical in gene editing workflows, synthetic biology research projects, and biopharmaceutical assay development. The system’s ultrasonic advantage and multi-pump setup enable it to maintain performance in demanding bioprocessing and molecular cloning pipelines.
