Agilent BioTek EL406 Microplate Washer Dispenser with BioTek BioSpa 8 Automated Incubator
Product Description
The Agilent BioTek EL406 Microplate Washer Dispenser integrated with the BioTek BioSpa 8 Automated Incubator is a versatile laboratory system engineered for high-throughput microplate washing, dispensing, and incubation workflows. This system is widely adopted in biotechnology and molecular diagnostics for applications including ELISA, cell-based assays, PCR setup, and bioprocessing.
Key technical features include:
- Microplate Compatibility: Supports 96- and 384-well microplates for washing and dispensing, with BioSpa 8 accommodating 6- to 1536-well plates (plate heights 7.6 to 25.4 mm).
- Dispensing Accuracy & Range: Peristaltic pump dispensing volumes from 1 to 3000 µL with typical precision below 3% CV; 96-tube wash manifold delivering 50–3000 µL washes with <3.0% CV at 300 µL.
- Washing & Cleaning: Features ultrasonic cleaning, selectable wash parameters with crosswise aspiration to reduce residues, soaking, and shaking functions to enhance assay reproducibility.
- Integrated Incubation Control: BioSpa 8 incubator provides precise temperature control up to 45°C and gas regulation for CO2 (0–20%) and O2 (1–19%), essential for live-cell imaging, cell culture, and synthetic biology workflows.
- Pump Systems: Equipped with 1 peristaltic pump and 2 syringe pumps allowing multi-channel reagent dispensing, critical for molecular cloning and biomanufacturing protocols requiring high dispensing fidelity.
- Automation & Productivity: Combining washing, dispensing, and incubation reduces manual handling, mitigates edge effects, and increases throughput for biotechnology, pharmaceutical research, and clinical diagnostics.
Additional features include buffer switching capability, vacuum pump for aspiration, and compatibility with BioTek LHS software for workflow integration (license sold separately). The system passes rigorous preventive maintenance and stress tests confirming consistent volumetric accuracy, no nozzle drift, and reliable performance across multiple well formats.
This pre-owned instrument includes comprehensive technical servicing, validation of dispense volumes (gravimetric and dye-based), and extensive testing of mechanical and electronic components, ensuring suitability for bioprocessing, cell proliferation assays, cytotoxicity studies, and 3D culture protocols.
The BioTek EL406 with BioSpa 8 incubator is critical in research environments requiring automated microplate handling with simultaneous control over incubation environment and precision dispensing—widely used in synthetic biology research and molecular diagnostics pipelines. Its integration facilitates seamless workflows essential in modern biomedical engineering and biotechnology laboratories.
