Agilent BioTek EL406 Microplate Washer Dispenser 406PSUB3 for 96/384-Well Plates
Product Description
The Agilent BioTek EL406 Microplate Washer Dispenser 406PSUB3 is an advanced automated instrument integrating microplate washing and liquid dispensing functions, optimized for high-throughput applications in biotechnology, molecular diagnostics, and cell-based assays. This model supports both 96- and 384-well microplates, with optional manifolds enabling fast washing and precise dispensing for complex workflows such as ELISA, MSD assays, PCR setup, and magnetic bead washing.
Key Technical Features:
- Compatible Plate Formats: Supports 96- and 384-well plates; optional manifolds expand to 6- to 1536-well formats for diverse assay compatibility.
- Dispensing Technologies: Combines 1 peristaltic pump and 2 syringe pumps for reagent dispensing with high precision (<10% CV at 1µL, typically <3% CV).
- Washing Modules: Features a 96-tube Dual-Action Manifold and optional 192-tube manifold for faster 384-well plate washing with selectable wash parameters and ultrasonic advantage to prevent clogging.
- Ultrasonic Wash Module: Enhances wash efficiency by minimizing residue and improving consistency—critical for biotechnology workflows requiring reproducible results.
- Multi-Functionality: Supports shaking, soaking, sonication, and automatic buffer switching (up to 4 buffers with optional valve module).
- User Interface & Software: Button-operated interface preferred for some users; compatible with LHC software enabling advanced automation and integration into laboratory workflows.
- Precision Dispensing Volume Range:
- Peristaltic pump: 1–3,000 µL (cassette dependent)
- Syringe pump washer: 50–3,000 µL per tube (up to 5,000 µL with 192-tube manifold)
- Instrumentation Testing & Verification: Comprehensive preventive maintenance including mechanical inspection, ultrasonic cleaning, stress testing, manifold dispense/aspirate accuracy, and communication check with BioStack stacker units.
Applications and Research Fields:
Ideal for applications in molecular biology, bioprocessing, synthetic biology, and clinical diagnostics, the EL406 is widely used in cell-based and bead-based assays, magnetic/vacuum filtration protocols, and high-precision microvolume dispensing essential for gene editing workflows and biopharmaceutical production pipelines.
Additional Notes:
- The system can be customized with reagent dispense modules, manifold options, and plate stackers (BioStack models available separately).
- Sold with a warranty (120 days US, 60 days international standard) and options for extended warranty and on-site training.
- This pre-owned model offers significant cost savings while ensuring reliability via extensive in-house servicing and quality verification.
