Agilent BioTek EL406 406PUB3 Automated Microplate Washer Dispenser with Ultrasonic and Peristaltic Pump
Product Description
The Agilent BioTek EL406 Microplate Washer Dispenser 406PUB3 is a versatile, automated laboratory instrument integrating microplate washing with precise reagent dispensing via a peristaltic pump system. It supports 96- and 384-well microplate formats, featuring interchangeable 96-tube and 192-tube wash manifolds to accommodate diverse assay requirements and optimize throughput. This model incorporates an ultrasonic wash module that enhances wash performance by preventing clogs and ensuring consistent dispensing accuracy critical for downstream biotechnology applications such as ELISA, cell-based assays, bead-based assays, and molecular diagnostics workflows.
Key technical specifications include:
- Dispensing volume range: 1–3000 µL via peristaltic pump (cassette-dependent) with typical precision <3% CV, and washing range 50–3000 µL with 96-tube manifold or up to 5000 µL with optional 192-tube manifold.
- Selectable wash parameters with crosswise aspiration reduce residue and improve wash efficiency.
- Supports wash functions including shaking, soaking, and ultrasonication, allowing flexible protocols for complex biochemical and bioprocessing assays.
- One reagent dispensing channel with optional expansion modules available for multi-reagent workflows.
- Compact footprint (43 x 50 x 26 cm) optimized for constrained laboratory spaces.
- Compatible with LHC software for method creation, automation control, and data integration, supporting advanced laboratory automation systems.
- Configured for ultrasonic advantage to maintain nozzle integrity, minimizing clogging and ensuring precision in biopharmaceutical production pipelines or synthetic biology research settings.
- Optional BioStack plate stackers support automated microplate handling for high-throughput workflows.
The EL406 is widely adopted in biotechnology research, molecular biology, and clinical diagnostic laboratories due to its reliable, reproducible performance in microplate-based assays and bioprocessing protocols including serial dilutions, plate coating, and PCR setup. Its design emphasizes ease of use with physical buttons preferred by some users over touch interfaces. The instrument includes comprehensive technical servicing, preventive maintenance with colorimetric verification of wash heads, and stress testing to ensure reliable operation.
This refurbished unit is an economical alternative to purchasing new, with full warranty coverage and options for extended warranties, on-site training, and remote technical support. The EL406’s precision wash and dispense capabilities make it essential for laboratories performing molecular cloning, bioprocessing assay development, immunoassays, and high-throughput screening applications.
