Agilent BioTek EL406 406PUB1 Microplate Washer Dispenser with Ultrasonic & Peristaltic Pump
Product Description
The Agilent BioTek EL406 Microplate Washer Dispenser 406PUB1 is a versatile, compact laboratory instrument combining microplate washing and precise reagent dispensing via peristaltic pump technology. Designed for high-throughput biotechnology and molecular diagnostics workflows, it accommodates both 96- and 384-well microplates, facilitating diverse applications including ELISA, cell-based assays, bead-based assays, and PCR setup.
Key technical features include:
- Microplate compatibility: Supports 96- and 384-well plates with optional upgrade to syringe pump for 6- to 1536-well plates, critical for flexible assay formats in modern bioprocessing and synthetic biology research.
- Dual-Action 96-Tube Manifold: Independent control over aspiration and dispensing for precise washing; optional 192-tube manifold available for accelerated 384-well format washing.
- Ultrasonic Advantage: Ultrasonic cleaning prevents clogging of dispense channels, ensuring reproducibility essential in molecular cloning workflows and biopharmaceutical production pipelines.
- Dispensing volume range: Peristaltic pump dispensing from 1 to 3000 µL with precision typically below 10% CV at 1 µL and less than 3% CV at higher volumes. Washer dispensing volumes range from 50 to 3000 µL with <3.0% CV accuracy.
- Wash flexibility: Selectable parameters including shaking, soaking, and sonication enhance wash efficiency and assay sensitivity, supporting fluorescence analysis and live-cell assay cleaning protocols.
- Buffer switching readiness: Equipped with automatic 4-buffer switching capability (valve module optional), enabling complex multi-step wash procedures typical in molecular diagnostics and immunoassays.
- User interface: Button-operated control preferred for durability with software compatibility (LHC Software) for advanced method integration and laboratory automation.
- Compact footprint: Space-efficient design suitable for laboratories with limited bench space, providing reliable performance in clinical diagnostics, biotechnology, and biomedical engineering settings.
This unit includes a comprehensive set of accessories: vacuum pump, dispensing tubing kit, power and communication cables, source and waste bottles, and the standard 96/384-well wash manifold. The system undergoes rigorous preventive maintenance and stress testing with verified wash head performance and volumetric accuracy, ensuring dependable operation in critical biomanufacturing pipelines. Optional modules include syringe pump dispensing and plate stackers with de-lidding capabilities for automated high-throughput workflows.
Widely adopted in biotechnology and molecular biology research, the EL406 supports precision washing and dispensing essential for bioprocessing, gene editing assay prep, and synthetic biology screening platforms. The 406PUB1 configuration balances functionality and cost-effectiveness, preferred by research professionals seeking dependable pre-owned instrumentation with warranty and full service support.
Whether for standard ELISA plate processing, MSD assays, or complex bead-based protocols, the Agilent BioTek EL406 is integral to laboratory automation setups demanding reproducibility, high throughput, and versatility.
